Configure station parameters when a device uses Controller Link

If your device setup has a Source and Destination controllers that communicate with each other via Controller Link:

Then to successfully communicate with PLC2:

1. Configure the Source station (PLC1) station under the Channel Selector settings -> Advanced as

   <Network of PLC1>:<Node Address of PLC1>

   The source node is configured in the Station field of Advanced Settings dialog box of the Channel Selector page with the syntax <Network number>:<Source Node>. For more information see Set the station ID of a device.

2. Configure the Destination station (PLC2) under the Station field as

   <Ethernet IP of PLC1>:<Port number of PLC1>:<Network of PLC2>:<Node Address of PLC2>:<Unit ID of PLC2 (optional)>: <Mode of PLC2 (optional)>

   Note: The driver does not validate the source node and accepts a non-zero value at runtime. If you are running the driver on a machine with multiple NICs, then the Station field has to be specified along with the source node incase the source node is a requirement to connect to the PLC. If you need to connect to multiple NICs, then another instance of the Communication Driver (another channel selector and device selector pair) should be recreated for specifying any additional source and Station IP.
