    Log shows PLC Bus Address but not the Name

    Hi All,

    I thought I would ask the question as it's been a problem in my system for a very long time .....

    I have a large number of PLC Bus Devices on my (HS3) system. If I manually change the status by e.g. switching a physical light switch, the log shows that the device address has been e.g. switched to "On". It doesn't however show the device name in the log. I would get something like this:

    Aug-02 10:15:35 AM
    PLCBUS Device Device [255-A14] status set to [Off]
    If on the other hand I run an event that has an action that is to set the status it would correctly show:

    Aug-02 10:15:45 AM
    Device Control Device: Ground Porch Doorbell to On (101)

    So it seems that an incoming status gets logged with only the device address and not the name, whereas a system generated status gets the name.

    Hope that all makes sense. I'm assuming that it is a standard system issue rather than anything related to PLC-BUS so thought it best to post in this forum. It would make things a lot easier if I could correct the issue so that all devices get identified by their name rather than just their address if it's at all possible.

    Many thanks for your help.

    Best wishes,

    Jay
