Project
•
Project name: the same name should be chosen for all devices in the project
•
Application name: this name can be the same for a number of devices in the
project. It highlights that these devices realize an application together, by respond‐
ing to one another for example.

Checksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the checksum,
it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two devices have the
same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum in the
device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet transmitted to the
device.
