PROFINET IO Slave Device - General¶

Object: PROFINET IO slave device

This tab shows the basic communication preferences.

IP Address	Initial settings for identification in the network. Caution: This data can be modified by the PROFINET IO controller. The data is stored remanent on the file system of the controller. After the controller is restarted, this stored data goes into effect. The settings here are then ignored.
Subnet mask
Default gateway
Station name	The name of the device in the network. Note: The station name and the IP settings can deviate from the (default) settings configured in the project. They can be set by the controller in online mode and in some cases stored persistently (this means when this is specified for the controller in the `Set IP` or `Set station name` commands). After a restart, the device is then configured with these values.
