Profinet Name

There are no module-specific name conventions when you use Integrated PLC Topology Configuration from the PLC. The name of the device can be whatever you want. TIA Portal will auto-correct if the name is outside of Profinet limitations.

*For users new to ConveyLinx and are familiar with the Siemens platform should find the Integrated PLC Topology Configuration quicker and easier to implement.

! Please note that Step7 Manager will not auto-correct if you enter a non-compliant name. A frequent mistake is using upper case letters which are not allowed according to the Profinet standard. TIA Portal will autocorrect upper case, but Step7 Manager will not auto-correct and will eventually result in program error.
