The bottom area of the Allen-Bradley PLC Configuration page lets you configure up to five PLCs.
There are three ways to configure this protocol:
1)
Auto-Configure Group by Device (Default)
2)
Auto-Configure Group by Data Type
3)
Manual Mode
NOTE
: You may go back and forth between modes, but when reverting from Manual Mode to either of
the two Auto-Configure Modes, all changes made in Manual Mode will be discarded.
