• If the filter only show unnamed stations is activated, only those devices will be
listed, for which not yet a station name is defined.
• The station name can be modified here in the dialog (open edit field by double-click
on table cell). In order to get the new name used in the bus system, select the
device entry and use button Forename. Thereupon appears a note that the bus
must be switched off and a new bus configuration is required (by reset or
application download) in order to get the change effective. The user will be
responsible for this! The station name shown in the scan dialog also will be used in
the device tree in the programming system.
• If the device name should be used as station name, use button Forename. You will
be asked whether the device name should be used as station name, answer Yes. If
you choose No, because you after all you have decided to define another name,
then you have to enter this name manually in the respective field in column
'Available devices'. For this purpose via a mouse-click on this field an edit frame can
be opened.
• Also the entries for device name, IP address and subnet mask can be edited here in
the dialog, resp. can be defined here, before the device gets mapped to the
configuration tree in the project If a device gets mapped without having defined
addresses, those presettings will be applied, which are defined in the PNIO Master
Parameter dialog of the PROFINET IO device editor for such cases.. The final
definition of the addresses always can be still done in the configuration dialog of a
device (PNIO identification).
• In order to identify a device which is listed in the scan-dialog at the hardware itself,
select the respective entry and use button Identify. This should cause blink signal
at the hardware device.
• The module Ident number will only be shown in the list, if (1) it is provided by the
slave device, (2) if slave and master are part of the same logical network and (3) if
IP address and network mask of the slave are set correctly. If the ident number is
not available, a slave device can be "copied" to the project anyway as long as it can
be identified uniquely by the available information.
• Regard the possibility of synchronizing the configuration settings of a PROFINET IO
slave device defined within the project with those of the respective hardware
device.
