Add and configure a Channel Selector object

The server-specific configuration portion of the MELSEC Communication Driver hierarchy tree under the OI Server Manager starts at the Channel Selector object. This object lets you set server parameters for communication with agents (devices) in the hierarchy tree.

Add a Channel Selector object to your MELSEC hierarchy

• In the console tree, right-click Configuration and then click Add Channel Selector Connection. The "New_ChannelSelector_000" object appears in the hierarchy.

Edit the object name to appropriately describe components of your specific hardware environment. If you do not rename the object at this time, a numeric sequencing system is applied. You can rename the hierarchy entry later.
