4.2.3 Adding a device

The "Device" tab for making settings for the device opens in the editing window.
The following information and setting options can be found in the sub-tab for the device:
Figure: "Device" tab for CECC-...
2. Open the "Communication Settings" tab and highlight the local gateway (network path).
3. Click the "Scan network" button or double-click the highlighted gateway to add an updated list of
devices to the local gateway.
• If necessary, set the filter to "Target ID". Only devices that match the CECC currently used in the
project will then be displayed ( section "Selecting a device").
• If necessary, change the sorting sequence to alter how the devices are displayed in the updated
list.
• Manually select a device if you know the name, node address or IP address of the CECC
( section "Manually adding a device").
• If necessary, change the network settings for the device ( section "Scan Festo Devices") and
repeat step 3. Changing the settings adds the device to the local gateway.
The list only contains devices that match the following criteria:
– The subnet mask settings for the network connection and CECC are the same
– The IP address settings for the network connection and CECC match
If these criteria are not met, the device must be detected using the Festo scan program
( section "Scan Festo Devices"). The network settings for the device can be read out in the
scan program and changed to suit your company network.
