This prt01 is attached to the controller CTL01. When I checked the controller CTL01 all the devices attached is in offiline status. I do not understand what is the problem with CTL01 or how to make the devices online.

You’ll likely need to vary on CTL01, then vary on the attached devices.

If the printer is addressed correctly, try varying it off then on.  If that fails, try varying CTL01 off then on and then varying on the printer.
