Function of the I&M data
Among other things, in this area, you can configure identification data for modules that
support I&M data (I&M = Identification & Maintenance). These are the plant designation and
the location designation. With the I&M data, for example, standardized identification systems
for devices are supported in the power station sector. Regardless of this, you can use the
I&M data for an additional device identifier you require.
