10.9 Setting up a connection to multiple devices on the NET
Before the first time a connection is established, easyE4 devices in a NET group will
not know which NET ID and which parameters they should use in order to establish a
connection. There are three ways to set up this connection:
1. → "Connection parameters and program on the device", page 690: Loading the
program, with the NET ID and Ethernet settings, onto each device.
2. → "Connection parameters on device", page 691: Using the Search for devices
dialog box to load the NET ID and Ethernet settings onto each device.
3. Device menu directly on the device: Configuring the NET ID and Ethernet set-
tings directly on each device.
Connection parameters and program on the device
If you have created a project with multiple easyE4 devices, the parameters for estab-
lishing a connection with every easyE4 device should be configured using the cor-
responding settings in the Project view/Ethernet tab. A program must have been
created for the easyE4 device.
In order to transfer these settings to the easyE4 device in the NET group, follow the
steps below:
In the Project view work pane, select the first device in the project.
Search for the devices in the NET group,
select the device that should correspond to the first device in the project from
the list of found devices, and
go ONLINE, → Section "Establish a connection to the device", page 685
In the Connection section, click on the PC => Device button.
The Select a NET station dialog box will appear.
