Edit Connection

Name of the Connection

This field displays the connection name which can be changed here.

Connection Active

Shows whether the connection is active or not. If not, you cannot register items and there will be no connection to the PLC. This feature allows you to disable a connection temporarily without deleting it so that you can re-enable it later without having to enter all parameters again.

Write allowed

For some connections, you can disable the Write function.

OPC Access allowed

Using this option, you can allow an OPC server connection to access the connection configured here. Thus, it is possible to access the PLC from a remote PC via this connection.

OPC Write allowed

Using this option, you can enable or disable Write access via OPC.

Simulate connection

Here, you can specify the poll rate the device will use for reading data from the PLC.

Buttons

Depending on the connection type, you can edit further parameters.

The number of available options depends on the type of connection.
