The following tables show the settings for communication with TSX Quantum™ and Premium™ PLCs. To establish communication with a device, configure the Boards, Ports and I/O Devices settings in Plant SCADA Studio's Topology activity. If you use the Express Communications Wizard to connect to a device, these settings will be automatically configured for you. However, if you need to configure them manually, or verify that the fields are correct, use the settings outlined below.
