The BrowseName of an interface object instance shall be the PROFINET interface id with the range 1..16 in decimal number string format.

The NameOfStation variable may be set with the SetNameOfStation method. Nevertheless, the variable itself shall always be read-only.

The CommLinkTo reference points to an EthernetInterfaceType object instance. An object of the IPv4FeatureType must be implemented in this EthernetInterfaceType object instance.

6.3.1.7.1.1 SetNameOfStation Method

This optional method writes the NameOfStation remanent to the PROFINET device and sets the NameOfStation variable accordingly.

Signature

	SetNameOfStation (
		[in]	String NameOfStation
		);

Argument	Description
NameOfStation	String containing the new NameOfStation to be written remanent to the device. The maximum length shall be limited to 240 characters (See [PN Protocol] for details).

Method Result Codes

ResultCode	Description
Bad_InvalidArgument	The Server is not able to apply the name. The name may be too long or may contain invalid characters.
Bad_UnexpectedError	The Server is not able to apply the name because an unexpected error occurred. The device might be temporarily unavailable or unreachable due to network failure.
