Figure 26: Properties container of the devices in the side bar

3.4 Properties of the devices

The inserted device is displayed in the list view if the associated room has been marked.
It will also be shown in the tree structure of the Building view underneath the room.
The Properties container in the side bar is opened by double clicking on the inserted
device. This container has up to three index cards, which can be selected via tabs. Some
index cards only contain information i.e. you cannot make any changes. The Settings card
is the most important.
It is possible here to change the individual address of the device. A change in the
“Individual address” field automatically assigns the device to another line and/or another
area in the bus topology.

Note: Only free addresses can be assigned!

It is also possible to add comments about the device in the Description field. A description
along the lines “what is the device, where is it installed and what is it used for” is good
practice. Collating information here pays off later during commissioning and fault
diagnosis.

3.4.1 Product information

The Properties container of the devices contains further information about a product under
the Information tab.
