12.3.6 Step 6 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device

The PROFINET-IO device has a unique MAC address that is part of the factory settings.

You can find this address on the name plate of the gateway.

This information is used to assign a unique, plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation")

to the device via the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)".

The PROFINET-IO also uses the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol" (DCP) for the

IP address assignment during each system boot-up if the IO device is located in the same

subnet.
