12 Blacklist
The blacklist functionality has been developed for TH SCOPE to reduce request for selected,
non-conform PROFINET devices in order to increase network stability. The blacklist feature is
available for TH LINK PROFINET, TH LINK PC and TH LINK Industrial Ethernet. Network
devices that had not been configured according to PNO-guidelines could cause network errors
in some circumstances. For that reason, those devices can be added to the blacklist. TH
SCOPE then reduces the requests and only a limited number of device information will be read
and shown.

Abbildung 9: Import a blacklist into TH LINK

The blacklist functionality can be activated manually (Activation is set to "yes"). The default
setting will be "Yes". Forwarding information concerning writing and supporting blacklist files
will be provided by the Softing customer support.
