Configuring a Logic Network

At a Glance

The second step in implementing a communication network is to configure a logic network.

This manual introduces the access to network configuration. For information on how to configure the various networks, please refer to the following documentation:

Configuring a Logic Network

The table below describes how to access the configuration of a network from the project browser.

Step	Action
1	In the project browser, expand the directory tree under the Networks sub-tab located in the Communication tab of the tree directory to display all the project networks. Example::
2	Double-click the network you want to configure to obtain the network configuration window. Note: The windows differ according to the network family selected. However, for all networks, from this window it is possible to configure the Global Data, IPO scanning, Peer Cop utilities, common words, etc. Note: For Ethernet networks, an intermediate step is necessary, which involves selecting the family of the module that will be used in the hardware configuration.
