PROFINET I/O device: IP address and station name are not displayed correctly

What happens?
In online mode, the IP address and the station name displayed in the PLC Designer on the 'General' tab of the PROFINET I/O device are not correct.
The PROFINET card is parameterised via the PROFINET master (e.g. a Siemens control system). Changing the IP address or the station name via the PLC Designer has no effect.
 
When does this behaviour occur?
The above-described behaviour occurs when setting the IP address or the station name via the PLC Designer or when replacing the PROFINET card (MC-PND). 
 
Which products are affected?
MC-PND V3.8.0 (PROFINET I/O device)
 
c300 controller
3200 C controller
p300 panel controller
p500 panel controller
 
Short-term measures: 
(Re-)configure the MC-PND PROFINET card via the PROFINET master (e.g. the Siemens control system).
 
Evaluation/recommendations:
The fieldbus functions are still provided. Only the IP address and the station name of the MC-PND PROFINET card are not displayed correctly in the PLC Designer in online mode.
