Name

Name of the PROFIBUS device.

Id

The "Id" text box contains the identification number of the master device. Each master device has its own identification number. It is assigned consecutively for each new master device. If master devices are deleted from the configuration and numbers become free as a result, then the released numbers are reassigned to new master devices inserted into the configuration.

Object Id

The PROFIBUS device represents an object in TwinCAT. The "Object Id" text box contains the TwinCAT object identification number.

The method ITcComObject:TcGetObjectId returns the object ID of a TwinCAT object. Each instance of a TwinCAT module has an object ID that only occurs once within a TwinCAT runtime. The object ID can be used to identify an instance within the TwinCAT system.
