Mapping a Virtual Station to a Virtual Fieldbus

Make sure that the fieldbus size is large enough to contain the Virtual Stations that you want to map. Configure these settings in the Size section.

To map a Virtual Station to a Virtual Fieldbus, the Virtual Station mapping mode must be set to Many-to-one.

  1. Select a controller in the Plant structure workspace.

  2. Select the Fieldbus and SoftPLC tab then select the Overview sub-tab.

    When the Virtual Station mapping mode is changed an eventual existing Virtual Station mapping configuration is deleted. A deleted mapping can not be restored.

  3. In the Virtual Station mapping configuration section, select a Controller Fieldbus configuration.

  4. In the Mappings section, select Add...

  5. Select a Virtual Station.

  6. Select a Virtual Fieldbus.

  7. Select Add.

  8. Select Close.

The Fieldbus mapping is seen both in the Overview sub-tab and in the Tool tab. Select the Tool tab to verify the mapping in the Fieldbus Mapping section.
