Assigning names to devices

After having created the project, assign valid names to the device nodes.

When creating a new MOVISUITE® project via network scan, the devices are automatically displayed in the network view. The names of the devices are extracted from the devices. A notification on the respective node appears if no name is present in the device or if the name has already been used for another device. Violation of a name convention (e.g. when using impermissible characters or when exceeding the maximum length of 80 characters) when entering a new name is indicated by a notification message next to the edit box.

INFORMATION

Observe the following rules when assigning a name:
– MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER must not have the same name as a lower-level device.
– Third-party devices subordinate to the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER must not have the same name as lower-level SEW devices. Furthermore, third-party devices must not have the same name as the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER itself.
– Each lower-level device must have a unique name.
  • The MOVISUITE® project created with a network scan is open.
  1. To rename a device, open the context menu of the device in the MOVISUITE® project.
  2. Click the [Rename] menu item.
    • Doing so opens an edit box.
  3. Enter the name in this edit box.
  4. To confirm your entry, click the green check mark.
