I had some problems with fault Profinet devices, that sometimes lost their PN Names after power failure. Si I wrote this tool to monitor and automatically assign an profinet name if an configured device has lots its name.

In configuration mode (no cmd line parameters), this tool allows you to create an configuration file with the "good" state of monitored devices. This is done by discovering current devices and saving them to an CSV file.

If you then start the Tool with the "-monitor" flag it will launch an discovery request and assign PN Names to any known device that lost its Name. It will also write log messages if an device is not available anymore and if it returns. This allows you to essentially log failures to an log file.

Details about its command line usage are in Readme.md

The UI is done in Winforms though, since i am not really proficient in WPF and needed an quick solution. Anyhow i hope this will help somebody, it sure helped me out and saved me from a lot of sleepless nights.
