Register a CPU Unit name in the CPU Unit. When going online to a CPU Unit from the Sysmac Studio,
the CPU Unit name in the project is compared to the name of the CPU Unit being connected to. This
helps prevent incorrect connections to the CPU Unit from the Sysmac Studio. It is particularly effective
for operations performed over an EtherNet/IP network.
In addition to the CPU Unit name, it is also possible to use serial ID identification based on the CPU
Unit production information (optional).

Set the CPU Unit name when you create a project on the Sysmac Studio.
The CPU Unit name is displayed as shown below.

When you first connect to the CPU Unit online, the Sysmac Studio prompts you to store the
CPU Unit name in the CPU Unit.
3
After that, when you connect to the CPU Unit online, the Sysmac Studio refers to the CPU Unit
name in the project and the CPU Unit name of the CPU Unit you connect to. A warning dialog
box is shown if they do not match, and you are asked whether to continue to connect.
