Profinet Name

When ConveyLinx modules are Auto-Configured from either EasyRoll or by Install button, each module automatically generates its own specific Profinet Names each with an exact syntax that corresponds to the Mode of Operation (ZPA or PLC I/O) determined during Auto-Configuration. If you performed Auto-Configuration with an Install button, each module defaults to ZPA Mode and the ZPA Profinet Names will be automatically generated. If you use EasyRoll to change a module from ZPA to PLC I/O Mode, the Profinet Names are automatically updated for PLC I/O Mode

The following chart shows the exact syntax for Profinet Names:

!With ConveyLinx Auto-Configured modules, you cannot change the Profinet Name in the module and you MUST use the EXACT Profinet Name in your Siemens programming environment in order to communicate with a given module.

*Please do not confuse the module’s General Name or Project Name that you assign for a given device with its Profinet Name. The Profinet Name is required to be in the proper syntax or the module will not connect to the PLC. The module’s Project Name is completely user’s choice to identify the module in the your Siemens programming environment and is what is displayed in your project’s Network View(s) and Project Tree.
