Activate the menu PLC > Set address command, which displays the Set address dialogue.

In the PLC Address field, enter the address of the new PLC.

In the PLC Media field, select the type of communication you wish to use. For Ethway drivers, refer to the following note.

If you wish, modify:

• the communication parameters using the Communication Parameters buttons in the PLC and Simulator group boxes

• the connection bandwidths using the Bandwidth button

To carry out a connection test click on the Test Connection button.

When you are finished, confirm with the OK button.

PLC address (by default, the address of the PCL physically wired to the terminal).

The drop-down menu lists any previous addresses entered. Clicking on the trashcan clears the drop-down list

This drop-down selects the type of communication with the network for the PCL.

By clicking this button you access the PLC communication parameters.

Simulator address

The drop-down menu lists any previous addresses entered. Clicking on the trashcan clears the drop-down list

This drop-down selects the type of communication with the network for the simulator.

By clicking this button you access the simulator communication parameters.

Click this button to display the Online Mode Services Bandwidth dialogue.

Click this button to execute a connection test without closing the Set Address dialogue.

Choose this mode for applications which do not require a specific speed rate (e.g., Modems).

X-Way

X-Way Example: UNTLW01 0.2.1.4 access to the Uni-Telway slave at address 4 which is connected to rack 0, module 2, channel 1 of the local PLC.

X-Way

X-Way Example: FIP02 \2.55\SYS to access to FIPIO connection point 55 through the privileged terminal Fipio (address 63 for Premium)

Example: FIP01 SYS to access to Fipio Master through the privileged terminal Fipio (address 63 for Premium).

X-Way

X-Way

X-Way Example: XIP01 {3.5}\2.55\SYS to access a FIPIO connection point 55, through the network 3 and station 5 PLC.

Example: XIP02 {3.5}0.2.0.4 access to a Uni-Telway slave connection at address 4 which is connected on the rack 0 module 2 channel 0 of the network 3 and station 5 PLC.

IP address

IP address;Index or

"DNS machine name;Index"

implicit; no address is necessary as the connection is point to point. However, it is possible to enter an X-Way address when the PLC is acting as an X-Way router

Modbus Plus Address Example: MBPLUS01 2.1 access to Modbus Plus node address 1 which is connected after the Modus Bridge address 2.

Modbus Slave Number

Modbus Plus Address

IP Address Example: TCPIP 84.0.127.6 access to an Ethernet TCP/IP station.

IP address;Index or

"DNS machine name;Index"

implicit; no address is necessary as the connection is point to point

Direct Address: Modbus slave number

Remote address: Link_address.Modbus Slave number

Link_address = r.m.c. of Modbus link

Direct address example: 66

Bridging example:

• 66\\0.0.3{118.159.35.45} for Modbus slave 66 to PLC on Ethernet CPU.

• 66\\0.3.0{118.159.35.45} for Modbus slave 66 to PLC on Ethernet NOE on slot 3.

Direct address: IP Address

Remote address: Netlink {IP address}

Netlink address = r.m.c. of Ethernet link

Direct address example: 84.0.127.6

Bridging example:

• 139.160.235.20\\0.3.0{118.159.35.45} for Ethernet CPU to PLC on Ethernet NOE on slot 3.

• 139.159.35.20\\0.0.0.66 for Ethernet to Modbus slave 66.

IP address;Index or

"DNS machine name;Index"

SYS or empty

Bridging example: SYS\\0.0.0.66 for USB to Modbus slave 66.

Direct address: IP Address

Remote address: Netlink {IP address}

Netlink address = r.m.c. of Ethernet link

Direct address example: 84.0.127.6

Bridging example:

• 139.160.235.20\\0.3.0{118.159.35.45} for Ethernet CPU to PLC on Ethernet BMX NOR on slot 3.

• 139.159.35.20\\0.4.0.66 for Ethernet to Modbus slave 66 of channel 0 of a BMX NOM 0200 on slot 4.

IP address;Index or

"DNS machine name;Index"

SYS or empty

Bridging example: SYS\\0.4.0.66 for USB to Modbus slave 66 of channel 0 of a BMX NOM 0200 on slot 4.

IP address;Index **

"localhost"

"DNS machine name;Index" **

**: "Index" is the Modbus Plus or Modbus index stipulated in the bridge you want to cross. This access only works in display mode: it cannot be used to modify the program or force values.

***: "Index" is the Modbus Plus or Modbus index stipulated in the bridge you want to cross.

Note: You must use quotation marks when the address includes characters other than figures, full stops or semi colons. These are used to avoid this address being analyzed syntactically.

192.168.0.1:502

192.168.0.2:502

192.168.0.3:502

This example shows PLCs with different addresses, but the same port.

192.168.0.1:502

192.168.0.2:502

192.168.0.3:502

This example shows the same router address with different ports, each port corresponding to a PLC address.
