5.5 Configure programming interface
43271
To transfer the created project to AC4S a valid communication path has to be configured between the
programming system CODESYS and AC4S.
Standard PLC and fail-safe PLC of AC4S use a separate hardware. Therefore it is necessary to set
the communication paths for both controllers separately.

5.5.1 Set communication path of Standard PLC
43042
The following interfaces can be configured as programming interface:
Ethernet configuration interface 1 (X3)
Ethernet configuration interface 2 (X8)
To configure the connection between CODESYS programming software and Standard PLC of the
AC4S:
1 Preparations
► Connect CODESYS PC/laptop and configuration interface 1 (X3) or 2 (X8) of the device.
► Optional: Adjust IP settings of the Ethernet interfaces.
2 Select communication settings
► In the device tree: Double click on the [ifm_SmartPLC_SafeLine] symbol
► In the editor window: Click on [Communication Settings].
> The editor window shows the communication settings of the PLC.
3 Select gateway
► Select the requested gateway in the [Gateway] list.
> List shows selected gateway.
4 Set communication path
► Click on [Scan Network...]
> Window [Select Device] appears.
► Select the gateway node and click on [Scan network] to start the scan process.
> CODESYS scans network for devices.
> Window shows network path and detected devices.
► Select node of the AC4S.
> Information field shows detailed information about selected node.
► Click on [OK] to set the communication path to Standard PLC.
> CODESYS can transfer data to the Standard PLC of the AC4S.
