PLCStation: Identifies which station will be communicated with. Default value is 1.

SlotDest: Defines the communication module destination slot position in the Reliance rack. Default value is 0.

  • Serial channels:

Station syntax: <PLCType>;<PLCStation>;<SlotDest>

Ex: com1;A15;1;0

  • MultiSerial channels:

Station syntax: <ComPort>;<PLCType>;<PLCStation>;<SlotDest>

Where : <ComPort> = COM Port of the slave device in the network (default is com1).
Ex: com1;A15;1;0
