Device name	: A network scan for the same device is performed again. Requirement: The CODESYS Automation Server is no longer connected to the device. A possible cause may be that the name of the device or the device address has changed.
Gateways	: Another Gateway of the network can be selected in the list box. This is necessary if the previous gateway in the network is no longer available or has been updated. To connect to the device on the new gateway, the device has to have been added to the gateway in the Network Scan view. You can change the name of the device. Because addressing in Automation Server is done using the device name, this has to be adapted if the device name has been changed in CODESYS. : It is checked whether a connection to the PLC can be established via the gateway.
