TwinCAT 3 PLC Settings
To connect Beckhoff devices, HMI’s information must be registered to PLC first. The following steps describe how to register HMI’s information into Beckhoff devices.
Choose Target System Device
Double click [SYSTEM], and then select [Choose Target System]. Select the device you are connecting.
Add HMI Route Information
Expand the SYSTEM layer, select [Routes]. Click [Add] to add HMI information as below.n- Name: A user-defined namen- AMS Net ID: must be HMI’s IP address + u0022.1.1u0022n- Transport Type: TCP_IPn- Address: HMI’s IP address
Verify and Apply Route Configuration
If added successfully, you will see a new item in Remote Computers. Click [Apply] to apply the configuration.
Activate TwinCAT Configuration Settings
Select [TwinCAT] menu, and then select [Activate Configuration] to apply the new settings.
