Set the Station ID of a device

Set the station ID for a selected device so that the Communication Driver can identify and communicate with it on the network.

Syntax

A station ID is required only if you select TCP or UDP option under the Serial/Ethernet drop down list in the ChannelSelector screen. For Serial (TBP) and Serial (NITP) options, the Station field in the DeviceSelector can be left blank.

Note: If you are upgrading from an old version of the Communication Driver which has NITP protocol selected with Serial Encapsulation as TCP/IP, the Serial/Ethernet selection is updated with TCP in the ChannelSelector screen and the Station field in the DeviceSelector screen is updated with the IP address and Port number.

The station ID for a target device must use the following syntax:

<IP address>:<Port Number>

IP address

The IP address of the target device.

Port Number

The port number of the PLC program running on the target device. The default port is 1505, but you can use the PLC programming software to change it if necessary.

Examples:

192.168.0.5:1505

10.13.63.90:1505
