The final step in implementing a communication network is to associate a logic network with a network module, Modbus Plus card or Fipway card. Although the screens differ, the procedure is the same for each network device.
How to Associate a Logic Network
The following table describes how to associate a logic network to a network device declared in the hardware configuration editor.
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
1 |
Open the hardware configuration editor. |
2 |
Right-click the device (Ethernet module, Fipway PCMCIA card or Modbus Plus PCMCIA card) that you wish to associate with a logical network. |
3 |
Select the channel and function. Result: For a TSX ETY 4103 module:  |
4 |
In the Network link field, select the network to be associated with the card. Result:  |
5 |
Confirm your choice and close the window. Result: The logic network is associated with the device. The icon associated with this logic network changes and indicates the existence of a link with a PLC. Furthermore, the rack, module and channel numbers are updated in the logic network configuration screen. In our example we obtain the following project browser:  |
