Setting PROFINET IO Device Name

In order to identify the PROFINET Coupler Unit on the PROFINET IO network, it needs to be
assigned a PROFINET IO Device Name. This Device Name is an ASCII string, which is written to
the IO Devices by the third party PROFINET IO Controller configuration software.
Using the Device Name the PROFINET IO Controller can configure parameter settings and estab-
lish I/O Data Exchange. It will assign an IP address to the PROFINET Coupler Unit based on the IO
Controller's configuration.
Please refer to the third party PROFINET IO Controller documentation on how to configure the IO
Device name.
Additional Information
• Be sure to have unique Device names for each of the IO Devices in the network. As the
name is used as identification, duplicate names will result in communication failure.
• With the option "Reset to Factory - Mode 2 Reset communication parameters" the device
name and IP address are reset to their default values.
