[?]: Panel View Plus 1000: Device Name on a Network

Post by asteroidehk » Wed Sep 03, 2008 8:05 pm

Hello Friends

I have a network with an Logix5661 CPU and 7 PanelView Plus 1000.

When i try to download/upload an application wih Transfer Utility, PanelView appear like

192.168.133.55 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus 16
192.168.133.60 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus 12
192.168.133.65 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus 17
192.168.133.70 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus 8
...


My problem is that i like to know, how can i change this name to another easier to manage like:

192.168.133.55 PanelView Plus 1000, Station 10
192.168.133.60 PanelView Plus 1000, Station 20
192.168.133.65 PanelView Plus 1000, Station 30
192.168.133.70 PanelView Plus 1000, Station 40
...


If in PanelView Terminal I go to:

Terminal Settings-Networks and Communications-Networks Connections-Device Name

everyone of the 7 PanelView has PVPCE-30F585


I have changed this name but in Transfer utility doesn't change.


In RSLinx they appearS like:

192.168.133.55 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus
192.168.133.60 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus
192.168.133.65 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus
192.168.133.70 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView-Plus
...


Also, i have used RSNetworx for Ethernet/IP, when i go online they appear like:

192.168.133.55 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView Plus System
192.168.133.60 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView Plus System-1
192.168.133.65 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView Plus System-2
192.168.133.70 PanelView Plus 1000, PanelView Plus System-3
...

I have changed the name in properties but in tranfer utility doesn't change.



So, the name is different in Transfer Utility, RSLinx, RSNetworx...



Can anybody help me?



Thanks in advance.
