PROFINET device name

In a MOVISUITE^® project, you can assign a name to the controller.

The controller is not only displayed in the MOVISUITE^® project under this name, but the name is also used internally as a PROFINET device name.

Make sure that this name is identical to the PROFINET device name that you assign to the controller in the engineering tool of the PLC (e.g. TIA Portal). If the controller has different PROFINET device names in the two tools, a bus error is reported.

INFORMATION

To ensure that the device name of the controller is compliant both with PROFINET and IEC61131, SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends using a name that starts with a letter and does not contain any spaces or control characters (hyphen, underscore, period, colon, comma, slash, backslash).

When the MOVISUITE^® project is imported into IEC Editor and TIA Portal, both tools convert the name of the controller according to an internal algorithm of their own. A name according to the defined naming conventions ensures that the controller appears under the same name in the various tools.

If a name according to the naming conventions is not possible, select a PROFINET‑compliant name. In this case, the IEC61131 compliance is automatically created by MOVISUITE^®.

The PROFINET device name and the IP address are not restored when restoring the delivery state. You can restore the delivery state in the TIA Portal in the online and diagnostics view using the [Reset] button in the [Functions] > [Reset to factory settings] folder.
