NOTE
Avoid that the configuration tag is simultaneously read by more than one
controller, especially for UHF controllers.
2.6 GATEWAY AND SUBNET NODE NAMING
The Gateway can store a 64-byte ASCII string for each of the 16 Subnet Nodes and one 64-
byte ASCII string for the Gateway itself. These text strings can be used to assign logical or
“
user friendly ” names to the Gateway and its Subnet Nodes.
For example, you could assign the Gateway a logical name such as “
PRODUCTION LINE 1 ”
and then name the controller connected to Subnet Node 01 “ PRODUCTION STATION 1 ”.
The controller at Subnet Node 02 could then be named “ PRODUCTION STATION 2 ” (and so
forth).
Gateway and Node names can be retrieved and edited by issuing specific commands to the
Gateway (which are covered later in this manual). See the table below for specific CBx
protocol command ID numbers.

Gateway and Node naming can also be accomplished through the
Cobalt Dashboard™
software utility, see the Cobalt Dashboard™ User's Manual for more details.
