Com 2: Setting up the Communication path
To exchange data between PC WORX and the corresponding controller, it is required to select a communication path for each controller. Even though the serial interface is available for all controllers, it is recommended to set the TCP/IP communication path, ensuring in this way a faster data exchange.
Therefore, select TCP/IP as the communication path for the controller within the project. Enter the IP address manually by selecting "Manual Input” from the "Connection Name” dropdown menu and test the connection.
