The CAN-Bus address of the selected device. If more than a single device is to
be added to the project, addresses are assigned in ascending order.
The dialog box closes upon hitting the OK button and the previously specified amount of devices appears in the IRIS-
Net worksheet. Devices can be selected, dragged around and repositioned at will. Double clicking on a device opens
the corresponding configuration dialog box. For further detail, please refer to the according chapters.

Adding Interfaces

Interfaces serve as gateways between the PC that runs the IRIS-Net application and devices that can be configured,
controlled and monitored from within IRIS-Net, e.g. interfaces between PCs and a CAN-Bus.
Interfaces that are supported by IRIS-Net are listed under the Interfaces category in the Objects Bar and in the
separate Interfaces window. This window opens when you choose Add Interface from the IRIS-Net Configuration menu
or from the contextual menu within the IRIS-Net worksheet. To include an interface in an IRIS-Net project you just have
to select the desired interface in the Interfaces list of the Objects List (or in the Interfaces window) and drag & drop it
over into the worksheet. Newly added interfaces are by default not connected to any device. To assign devices to an
interface, select Administrate Connections form the contextual menu of a device and select the desired interface.
The following illustration shows the Objects List with the Interfaces list being open. The listed interfaces are divided
into groups to provide a better overview. Opening and closing the group lists is possible through clicking on the arrow
icon in the top right corner. The content of the interfaces list depends on the actually installed IRIS-Net version, i.e. it
may differ from the list as shown in the following illustration.

Adding Controls

IRIS-Net Controls are located in the Objects List under the Controls category and in the separate Controls window. The
window opens when you choose Add Control from the IRIS-Net Configuration menu from the contextual menu within
the IRIS-Net worksheet. Several different controls like buttons, switches, displays, Window Controls, Panels, groups,
etc. are available. The listed controls are divided into groups to provide a better overview. Opening and closing the
group lists is possible through clicking on the arrow icon in the top right corner. Using drag & drop you can include
controls in the IRIS-Net worksheet to design a suitable user and or indicator panel for your project. An example of how
to configure a control is provided below.
The following illustration shows the Objects List with the Controls list being open. The content of the controls list
depends on the actually installed IRIS-Net version and on the devices that are currently available, i.e. it may differ from
the list as shown in the following illustration. The table also provides a short description for each control.
