4.3.3. User-operated name assignment
To perform an I/O system network scan, go to „PLC" – „Edit Ethernet Node" – „Browse". The scan provides
all bus nodes. In the example the encoder „encoder01" was found.
The MAC address ensures unique device recognition. Button „flash" will start the identified user's SF LED
flashing for clear identification.
A double-click on the desired line (here: encoder "encoder01") opens the window "Edit Ethernet Node".
Enter the new name required for configuration in line "Device name". Click "Assign name" to execute. After
this, the encoder will immediately be recognized with this name in the PROFINET network.
