Adding and Configuring Device Selector Objects

The CODESYS OI Server can connect to different Windows agents, PLCs, and other data sources. These connections are modeled in the hierarchy by means of Device Selector objects, each of which models the end-point of the communications path.

From the ChannelSelector branch of the OI Server hierarchy, create the new DeviceSelector object.

To add a Device Selector connection to your CODESYS hierarchy

1. Right-click the New_ChannelSelector_000 object, and select Add DeviceSelector Connection.

   The New_DeviceSelector_000 object is created.

2. Rename the object as appropriate.

3. The New_DeviceSelector_000 Parameters configuration view is displayed.

   

To configure the Device Selector connection

• Configure the Station.

  The Station field cannot be empty. The syntax of the Station depends on the ARTI3 or the gateway being used by the OI Server. For more information, see Setting Station ID of a Device.
