Have you tried pinging your PLC using cmd?

Has this ever worked, or are you trying to put it into operation for the first time?

Please describe the overall system architecture and what happened just before the fault light started blinking, ie, power outage, component replacement, fiber optic cable repair, etc. Have you used the profinet discovery tool in Machine Edition software to communicate with it?

I don't know what happened but fault light is blinking and one more thing i have not used profinet discovery tool. Actually the ethernet cable is not detecting in my laptop. The cable is ok, laptop port is ok and at component level also i have checked it but ports are ok.

What is the profinet controller for this network? Is it an Emerson (GE) PLC? If so, are there any fault table entries related to this node? The text of the fault description suggests a problem in the profinet network.
