Use the wizard to make COM interface and port settings

The wizard guides you through the steps to configure a connection between the FP-I4C unit and a PLC. After completing the wizard you can skip the configuration of the COM Interface and the Port page.

The wizard overwrites the current settings on the COM Interface and Port page. If you want to keep your settings, go to Backup/Restore and make a backup of your application settings before you start the wizard.

  1. Go to COM Interface and select Start wizard.
  2. Select a configuration mode.

    The simple mode provides all basic settings to connect a PLC. The advanced mode provides additional options to set a Modbus/TCP gateway and restrict access to the DT memory area.

  3. Follow the instructions in the wizard to make your settings.

    Don't forget to save your settings.

    You can cancel the wizard at any time by selecting Cancel wizard.
