General
"Name" text box
The "Name" text box contains the name of the PROFIBUS device.
"Id" text box
The "Id" text box contains the identification number of the Bus Coupler. The ID number is assigned by the TwinCAT system and cannot be changed. The ID is unambiguously assigned in each topological branch.
The ID is assigned consecutively for each new box as you add it. If devices are deleted from the configuration and numbers become available as a result, the released numbers are reassigned to new devices inserted into the configuration.
"Object Id" text box
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.
"Type" text box
The PROFIBUS device type is specified in the "Type" text box.
"Comment" text box
You can add a comment in the "Comment" text box. By default, the comment box contains information about the Bus Coupler.
"Disabled" check box
By selecting this check box you can disable the PROFIBUS device. A disabled device is not included in the configuration calculation. The configuration of the disabled PROFIBUS device is retained with its link information and can be re-enabled by unchecking the check box.
"Create symbols" check box
If this check box is checked, symbolic names are created for accessing this PROFIBUS device.
"Number" column
The "Number" column indicates the position of the box at the Bus Coupler.
"Terminal Name" column
The "Terminal Name" column shows the name of the box.
"Type" column
The "Type" column shows the type ID of the box.
