Setting the MPE720 Logical Port Numbers

Up to 16 logical ports can be registered for the communications process. The logical port to
be used must be specified when engineering a Machine Controller using the MPE720.
The logical port to be used can be set for each Machine Controller and is normally set when
registering a new Machine Controller under the File Manager. (Refer to 2.2.4 Creating New
PLC Folders in the MP900/MP2000 Series Machine Controller Programming Software
MPE720 User's Manual.)
The following window will be displayed when registering a new PLC folder or opening the
property window for an existing PLC folder. Open the Network Tab Page.
