Working with the Fieldbus and SoftPLC Tab
The Fieldbus and SoftPLC are located in the Fieldbus and SoftPLC
tab, when a single controller has been selected in the Plant structure
.
A fieldbus is a communication link between a factory management system (fieldbus master) and a remote node (fieldbus subordinate). A node can be complex, like a controller, but may also be a simple unit, like a sensor or a valve.
The Fieldbus and SoftPLC tab is divided into four sections:
Overview configuration
Fieldbus configuration
Acyclic Data configuration - Only available for StepSync.
SoftPLC configuration
