Setting the box ID of the connection box

You need to set a box ID for each connection box. If configured, the box ID can be read by
the HMI device and transmitted to the PLC.
The box ID allows connection point detection. The procedure is described in the section
"Configuring connection point detection (Page 179)".
Note
You need to set a box ID for each connection box. Do not assign the same box ID twice.
Note
Changing the box ID of a connection box
Observe the following information when changing the box ID of a connection box:
• If you want to change the box ID of a connection box, remove the connection box from its
power supply before you set the box ID with the rotary coding switch.
• After you have confirmed the changed box ID in the dialog "Safety operation", unplug the
HMI-device connecting cable from the connection box and then plug it into the connection
box again.
