Select a Target Programmable Controller
Procedure
- In the Controller address field, enter the address of the OMRON programmable controller. Use the same format you use when configuring the controller for the CIMPLICITY project.
-
Do one of the following:
- To enter the address of an OMRON programmable controller on the local Ethernet network, simply enter the Host Name of the controller that corresponds to its IP address.
- To enter the address of an OMRON programmable controller on a subnetwork, use the following format:
<Host Name>.<subnetwork number>.<Controller address>
Note: This is the same format you use when defining a device address in CIMPLICITY software
-
Select the controller model from the Controller Model drop down selection list.
If you enter an invalid format for the programmable controller address or if you enter a Host Name that is not valid (not in the TCP/IP hosts file) an error message displays on the status line. You must enter a valid address to continue.
After you enter a valid programmable controller address, the Data address and Data value fields for read and write requests are enabled.
