The connection between PC and CPU (PLC) can be established via one of the
Ethernet interfaces ETH0 to ETH2.
The Ethernet connection's transfer rate will be controlled with the autosens-
ing function. Components in (detect) mode will automatically detect whether
the connection is a 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit connection.
In this chapter you will get to know the settings to be made in the XSOFT-
CODESYS-3 software. The following example shows how to create a new
project.
5.1 Network search with automatic PLC detection
The PC will attempt to connect to the PLC and will indicate a successful con-
nection with green circles.
