Specifying the device name for the SmartWire-DT modules
Just like with the gateway, device names are also used for SmartWire-DT
modules in the SWD-Assist planning program. A device name based on the
module's type and position in the SWD line will be suggested by default.
These device names are used to identify the modules and must be unique.
They are used when generating symbolic names for I/O data.
The device name must be unique, i.e., it cannot be used for any other Smart-
Wire-DT modules. The maximum permitted length is 24 characters. The
name can contain letters, numbers, and underscores (_). Vowels like "ä", "ö"
are not permissible.

4.3 Selecting a communications protocol
The gateway can work with either the EtherNet/IP orModbus/TCP field bus
protocol in order to exchange data with higher-level PLCs.
The default field bus protocol is EtherNet/IP.
The protocol that should be used is selected either through the web interface
or in the project with SWD-Assist.
▶ Open the "Device parameters" tab and select the field bus protocol you
want using the "Mode" setting.
