Nodes Configuration
Station Configuration
TCP/IP:
Station syntax: <IP address>
Where :
- <IP address>: IP address of the slave device in the network
You can also add /<Branch> at the Station name.
E.g.: 192.168.1.1
122:168.1.1/MyTags
Points Configuration
The syntax for the communication point is: InitialBranch/TagList/Tag1
| If you have many tags sharing the initial branchs, you can also remove the InitialBranch from the Point address and move it to the Node-Station address. |
