7.3.4 Transferring and verifying the Flexi Link configuration
To start your Flexi Link system, connect the PC with the system, transfer and verify
the configurations and switch the stations into the Run state. This requires that you
have finished the configuration as described in the previous section and that you have
set up and connected the required MELSEC-WS modules and other hardware.
Establish a connection to your Flexi Link system
 Connect a PC or notebook to the RS-232 interface of any CPU module in the
system.
 Power on the Flexi Link system.
 Open the Setting and Monitoring Tool installed on the PC and load the project file
with your configuration.
 If necessary, adjust the communication settings (see Section 6.2).
 Switch to the Flexi Link system overview. The configured stations in your project
will be displayed with a light yellow background.
 Click on Connect. You will be prompted to select the stations you want to connect
to. Activate all stations, then click OK.
 If the CPU modules of the connected stations have not been configured for Flexi
Link before, the Setting and Monitoring Tool will now open the Flexi Link Network
settings view and list the found stations. In this case you will have to assign a
unique Flexi Link address from A to D to the individual stations as described in
Section 7.3.1.
