Chapter 17 Configure Peer-to-Peer Communication
Configure Peer-to-peer
Communication As discussed in the following sections, you configure peer-to-peer
communication by:
•
defining controller connections.
•
assigning the HH-Network.
•
choosing a peer-to-peer profile.
•
defining peer-to-peer parameters.
•
defining process signals for exchange.
Define Controller Connections
To define all of the controllers each controller can communicate with,
follow these steps.
1. Right-click the resource you want to define controller
connections for and choose Peer-to-Peer Editor.
The title bar of the Peer-to-Peer Editor shows the name of the
selected controller. When the Peer-to-Peer Editor is opened for
the first time, it does not contain any entries.
2. In the project tree, click a resource and drag and drop it in the
Peer-to-Peer Editor.
3. Repeat step 2 to add more controller connections.
In the example below, RobotA (title bar) has a connection to
RobotB and RobotC. Because the return path is automatically
added, you do not need to drag RobotA onto the Peer-to-Peer
editors of RobotB or RobotC.
