Designation of devices

A name can be assigned to both the device and its standard process data slots. The names for the safety slots are assigned automatically and cannot be changed.

As devices are arranged directly below the EtherCAT® master and the name of the devices is no longer used, it is recommended for the device type (e.g. "MOVI_C_MOVIDRIVE") to be used as the name for the devices.

As the standard process data slot represents the actual drive on the inverter, it is recommended for a unique name to be assigned here.

If you want to use the automatic axis replacement function in the event of an inverter replacement, the name of the standard process data slot must be identical to the name of the device in MOVISUITE^®.
