To add a ModbusTcpNetwork in the station

Use the following procedure to add a ModbusTcpNetwork component under the station’s Drivers container.

Only one ModbusTcpNetwork is needed, even if the JACE host has two Ethernet ports connected to two different (non-routed) TCP/IP LANs. In this case, the destination IP addresses of child ModbusTcpDevices will automatically determine the Ethernet port utilized.

To add a ModbusTcpNetwork in the station:

1. Double-click the station’s Drivers container, to bring up the Driver Manager.

2. Click the New button to bring up the New network dialog. For more details, see “Driver Manager New and Edit” in the Drivers Guide.

3. Select “Modbus Tcp Network,” number to add: 1 and click OK.

   This brings up a dialog to name the network.

4. Click OK to add the ModbusTcpNetwork to the station.

   You should have a ModbusTcpNetwork named “ModbusTcpNetwork” (or whatever you named it), under your Drivers folder, initially showing a status of “{ok}” and enabled as “true.”

5. Right-click the ModbusTcpNetwork and select Views->Property Sheet.

   The Property Sheet appears. See Review network-level Modbus client configuration.
