Getting Started with IWS and TwinCAT DRAFT — 8 September 2006
Editing Connection Settings in the Full TwinCAT Software
If you have the full TwinCAT development software installed on your workstation or industrial PC,
then the connection settings are completed in two parts. First, you must use the System Properties
dialog to assign an AMS Net ID to the station. Second, you must use the System Manager to
search for other TwinCAT stations on the network and add them to your router list.
Assigning an AMS Net ID
To assign the AMS Net ID in the TwinCAT System Properties dialog:
1) If the TwinCAT software is not running already, then start it now.
� Note
– By default, the TwinCAT software is configured to start automatically on boot.
2) Find the TwinCAT icon in the Windows system tray:
