Add a New
Network to the
Communication
Folder
After starting a new application, the Communication folder under the Station tree
branches the Network folder and the Routing table folder (Premium platforms
only). These two folders are empty. Under the Network folder, the user can insert
the networks by menu. A click on the right mouse-button above Network pops up a
contextual menu. The user selects the type of network he wants to add. For easier
use, a network name will be suggested with the prefix of the network type
(Ethernet_1 or Modbus+_1). By choosing a new network the next available number
for the network is chosen automatically, for example, Ethernet_1 then Ethernet_2
and so on. At any moment, the user may rename any Netlink.
The user can also attach a comment that describes each configured network. The
OK button adds the network as subfolder.
The names of network nodes are also called NetLink. These are the names of
logical networks.
