5. After the software is configured and the PLC - VCom is
connected with the PLC, please click „Select PLC” in the
area „MPI Converter“. A new dialog appears where you
can select the desired PLC. While this dialog opens you
can see right now (in the bottom right of the task bar) the
green blinking PLC VCom icon . This means that the
software is already talking to the PLC.
6. The dialog displays all the PLCs that can be found in your MPI bus. Select the
desired one and confirm with „OK”.
7. Close the preferences dialog by pressing the „OK“ button.
8. Back in the main window press the „PC Block List“ button for
testing the new established communication configuration.
9. Please wait a moment for the software to read the desired blocks
from the PLC. The blocks will be displayed in the listbox below
the menu bar (see picture to the right).
The communication between the software and your PLC is
established.
If you had any trouble up to this point go ahead in chapter 8.1
