Fig. 6.19: Device ID & network address
While a device’s network address is unique and serves the purpose of identifying the
device on the network, its ID can be freely assigned and serves the sole purpose of
identifying the device in the menu structure of the Sunny Boy Control.
Device ID
To change the ID or the network address automatically assigned to a device by the
Sunny Boy Control, select the item, and then press [ENTER]; next, press
[
↑
] or [
↓
] to change the setting, then [ENTER] after each character.
Choosing meaningful device IDs will help identify the devices in the menus of the
Sunny Boy Control (refer to Fig. 6.18). “UL”, for example could stand for “upper left“
or “A1” for “device 1 in area A“. In addition, it could be useful to label the devices
accordingly.
Note that the device ID “SC” is reserved for the Sunny Boy Control.
Special device ID “99”
To remove a device from the registration (for example, in order to replace it with an-
other one), change its ID to “99”. The device will be removed after confirmation.

Fig. 6.20: Device removal confirmation
Removing a device by giving it the ID “99” causes all of its data to be
lost.
Network address
Each device in a network must have a unique address, consisting of a bus address
(0–15), a string address (0–15), and a device address (0–255).
