Siemens SIRIUS 3RK3 - Setting and Transferring Device Names

6.6.1.2 Setting and transferring device names
Device name
The device name of the IO device (safety relay with 3SK2 PROFINET interface) is required for the
IO controller (e.g. CPU) being able to address the IO device.
Setting option of the device name
There are various options for setting the device name in the IO device:
• The device name can be con󹪝gured with the SIRIUS Safety ES parameterization software and
then transferred to the device.
• The device name can be assigned via the automation system (e.g. STEP 7).
Note
Restart of the communication
Each change to the device name requires that the communication interface be restarted. A new
start interrupts all Ethernet and PROFINET links and reestablishes them afterward.
WARNING
Hazardous system state due to unauthorized access via 󹪝eldbus
Can Cause Death, Serious Injury, or Property Damage.
Unauthorized access to the safety relay via 󹪝eldbus can enable con󹪝guration changes and
overriding of safety functions.
To prevent unauthorized access to the safety relay via the 󹪝eldbus network, assign a password
for accessing the device in Safety ES. If you operate several safety relays in one 󹪝eldbus
network, you must assign a separate password for each safety relay to prevent confusion when
accessing via the 󹪝eldbus. In other words, the passwords must not be identical.
