GETTING STARTED
Establishing the bus connection
As soon as the device has been inserted into the project, the bus connection with the
PLC can be established in the Network view.
The "Not assigned" information message appears in the picture of the node: it warns
that the connection between the PLC and the Slave device is not established yet. Right-
click on the message and select, through the Select IO controller drop-down box, the
PLC the node has to be connected to. When doing so, make sure that you are in the Net-
work function mode in the Network view.
After configuring the networking, the device is connected to the PLC via the Profinet
network.
