Name
Station
Address
Editable name for the „Devices“, „Modules“ and „Signals“:
With STEP7 import the names of the STEP7 program, of the symbol table
or of the data block and the signal are displayed. Without import the default
names Device, Module, Signal are displayed.
(only for PLC address of the PROFIBUS MPI device

Important! Here the PLC station address must be
entered. The station address of the STEP7 project
may not be used here.
