To establish communication with a device, the associated Board, Port and I/O Device need to be correctly configured 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 manually configure them, use the settings outlined below.
Boards
Typically, you would use a normal Ethernet card for this communication. Complete the Board settings with the following specific information.

Special Options |
Enter the destination IP address of Ethernet module. Use the following format: -Ia -Pn -T where: a = the destination IP address in standard Internet dot format. (For example 192.9.2.60) n = the destination Port number. Often one physical port has several virtual ports, used for different purposes. Use this option only if you want to override the default of 18245. -T = forces the driver to use TCP (the default), rather than UDP (-U). |
