Automatic detection of connected devices
Search for connected slave stations and add them to the network configuration settings.
IP addresses, subnet masks, and other communication settings in the network configuration settings can be configured for
added slave stations.
Furthermore, parameters unique to slave stations can be read from or written to the network configuration settings. (There are
unsupported slave stations as well. )
Configuration work can be reduced because it is not necessary to configure slave station settings individually for each slave
station, and slave stations can be configured all at once from the parameters of the master station.
Operating procedure
1.
Launch a new project, and then run an automatic search of connected devices.
2.
Because detected slave stations will be added to the network configuration settings, change their connection order, the
number of occupied stations, and other information, and then configure station numbers.
3.
Configure the slave station IP addresses, subnet masks, etc. in the network configuration settings. After configuration,
the information is applied to the slave stations.
From the station list or network configuration diagram, select a module, and then select [Online]  [Apply slave station
communication settings].
4.
Parameters unique to slave devices can be read or written from the network configuration settings.
unique to slave devices, refer to the manual of the slave station to be used.
*1 To read parameters, choose "Read parameters" under "Processing to be run", and then click the "Run" button. The read value is
displayed. To write parameters, choose "Write parameters" under "Processing to be run", enter the write value, and then click the "Run"
button.
From the station list or network configuration diagram, select a module, and then select [Online]  [Slave station
parameter processing].
Configure the slave stations in the network configuration settings after running an automatic search of
connected devices. Content already configured in the network configuration settings is overwritten by the
content after the automatic search for connected devices. Detected slave stations are applied to the network
configuration settings starting from the lowest MAC address, and the number of occupied stations and other
values are also set to the initial values.
