Driver Naming
Just a quick one... we have written our own driver and I am wondering where the driver name and properties need to be set for them to show up correctly in the Manager Properties and System Overview panels. At the moment it just reads "DRIVER" in the System Overview and there is only the file name (without extension) in the Manager Properties, i.e. no "... UU HWM Driver".

Re: Driver Naming
Hello,
the driver has to write it's name to the DT-element of the _Driver_X-datapoint, then the name is displayed at the system overview panel.
The entries for the console-panel are read from the managers.cat-file.
Please notice that the ETM Portal does not substitute the common PVSS/WinCC OA support.
In the future please send your product related questions to the official support address support.automation@siemens.com.
