13.2. 1 Setting the Device Name and Device ID
You can assign every device (Sunny Boy and Sunny Boy Control) its own device name and a two-
digit device ID. By default, the device name used comprises the serial number and the device type
(e.g. WR38-006 SN:2000115546).
The device names and device IDs are included in the transferred measurement files (Excel files). If
you change the device name or device ID, from that time onwards, they will also change in all newly
transferred measurement files for this plant.
The name of the directory with the Excel files is not changed if you change the name of a Sunny Boy
Control. The directory retains the identifier "SBC+serial number“ (e.g. SBC119020033).
Changes to the device name and device ID are not automatically applied in Sunny Portal. Adjust
the device name in Sunny Portal to match the changes in Sunny Data Control if desired. Refer to the
Sunny Portal user manual, which can be downloaded from Sunny Portal, to learn how to change
the device name in Sunny Portal.
