4. Choose Generic Ethernet Module from the list and click OK.
5. Type the connection name in the Name field.
6. Type the IP address of the GuardPLC controller in the IP
Address field.
7. Enter the Configuration Assembly Instance as 1 and its size as 0
because the configuration data instance will not be used by the
GuardPLC controller.
Configure the Type of Connection
GuardPLC controllers support these types of Class 1 connections:
•
Exclusive Owner — both sides are cyclically producing data for
one another.
•
Input Only — more than one scanner can listen to the same data
produced by a single GuardPLC controller.
•
Listen Only — the first scanner to establish a connection to the
GuardPLC controller becomes the owner of the connection.
When that scanner closes the owner connection, all subsequent
Listen Only connections are also closed.
These connection types are explained in more detail in the following
sections.
