■Automatic detection of connected device
Detects the connected remote stations and reflects to the network configurations setting.
Follow the operating procedure below to use the automatic detection of connected device.
In the network configuration setting, communication settings such as IP addresses and subnet masks can be configured for
the detected remote stations. Parameters that are inherent in the remote stations can also be read/written from/to the network
configuration setting. (Some remote stations do not support these features.) Various settings of all remote stations can be
configured in parameters of the master station (the settings do not need to be configured in each individual remote station)
and therefore the man-hour for the setting will be reduced.
1.
Start up a new project in GX Works3 and execute the automatic detection of connected device.
2.
Detected remote stations are reflected in the network configuration setting. Change the items such as the connection
order and numbers of occupied stations and set station numbers.
3.
Configure IP addresses and subnet masks of remote stations in the network configuration setting. And then, reflect the
settings to the remote stations.

*1 To read parameters, select "Parameter read" from "Method selection" and click the [Execute] button. Parameters read are displayed in
the column of "Read Value". To write parameters, select "Parameter write" from "Method selection", input data to the column of "Write
Value", and then click the [Execute] button.
Remote station settings in the network configuration setting must be configured after executing the automatic
detection of connected device.
If not, contents of setting items that have been already configured in the network configuration setting are
overwritten by ones detected by the automatic detection. Detected remote stations are reflected in the
network configuration setting in ascending order of MAC address and values such as the number of occupied
stations becomes initial value.
