assigns it a suitable field address. The identity code cannot be changed. The device appears
in the network display once you have started the FF configuration program and integrated
the device into the network. The blocks available are displayed under the device name.
If the device description has not yet been loaded, the blocks report "Unknown" or "(UNK)".
