For communication with the Master control system, special signal names in the
robot must be used, see
Slave (PLC)
FlexLoader Vision communicates via the network with a Master PLC (Siemens S7).
The SlavePLC settings are used to set the translation between the ID number and
the FlexLoader Vision detail, and to set the communication parameters.
The Master equipment can choose one of the teachin details for operation according
to a translation table that links the ID number of the Master equipment to a group
and a detail in FlexLoader Vision. This is done by entering an ID number in the ID
Selection Configuration pane, choosing a group from a drop-down list in the Group
column, and then choosing one of the available details from the drop-down list in
the Detail column.

To set the communication settings for PLC, click the Settings button. Enter the IP
address for the PLC and click OK.
To communicate with the Master control system, the PLC memory addresses must
be entered for each command and associated confirmation signal. The memory
addresses are assumed to be "bytes" (8-bit memory locations), with the exception
of a selection of ID-numbers and ConfirmIDs, both of which are "double word"
(32-bit memory locations).
Slave (through TCP/IP)
FlexLoader Vision communicates with the Master software via network TCP/IP
socket communication.
