Guidelines for Documenting the Help of Your Communication Driver

The configuration parameters for each Communication Driver varies according to the PLC you are connected to. Following are some guidelines to help you document controller-specific information:

• Ensure that you have access to your device manufacturer's documentation in order to configure controller-specific information such as IP addresses, register numbers, and so on.

• Refer to the AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack Help, since the Communication Drivers Pack supports controllers from popular manufacturers such as Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, Modicon, General Electric, and many others. In case your device manufacturer is supported by the Communication Drivers Pack, you may find the required controller-specific details in the Help.
