Step 6 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device
The PROFINET-IO device has a unique MAC address that is part of the factory settings.
You can find this address on the name plate of the gateway.
This information is used to assign a unique, plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation")
to the device via the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)".
The PROFINET-IO also uses the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol" (DCP) for the
IP address assignment during each system boot-up if the IO device is located in the same
subnet.
Notice!
All MA 248

participants in a PROFINET-IO network must be located in the same subnet!
Naming the device
PROFINET-IO defines the "naming of the device" as the creation of a name-based relation-
ship for a PROFINET-IO device.
