Adding Controllers

Controllers connected to ToolsTalk 2 may be visible in the Plant structure .

The plant structure view is empty if no controllers are connected to ToolsTalk 2, or if user rights do not allow access to folders or controllers.

  1. Select Plant structure and then right-click anywhere in the upper area of the controller list. Alternatively, select System administration, then in the Controller software & data management tab right-click in the left-side menu workspace area. Choose Add new controller. The Connect controller dialog window opens.

  2. Enter the IP address, or the DNS name of the controller. The IP address of the ToolsTalk 2 server will be pre-populated.

  3. Select Connect.

A controller can also be connected to the ToolsTalk 2 application via the web GUI or controller GUI.

This procedure is described in the controller specific documentation.
