Device Address Specification

The device address should have one of the following formats:

For a programmable controller directly connected to the Ethernet network.

<HOSTNAME>/<SOCKET PORT NUMBER>

For a programmable controller that is accessible through another PC2 programmable controller that is connected via Ethernet, the format is:

<HOSTNAME>/<ROUTING INFORMATION>/<SOCKET PORT NUMBER>

Routing for a hierarchy of up to 4 levels is supported. The format of the routing information for a one level hierarchy is:

<LINK NUMBER>:<EXCHANGE NUMBER>

On a PC2 that is indirectly accessed via an HPC network, the Exchange Number is the Station Number.

The format of the routing information for a 4 level hierarchy is:

<LINK NUMBER>:<EXCHANGE NUMBER>.<LINK NUMBER>:<EXCHANGE NUMBER>.<LINK NUMBER>:<EXCHANGE NUMBER>.<LINK NUMBER>:<EXCHANGE NUMBER>

(The routing information above is on three lines for display purposes. When you are using it, type it on one line.)

Periods (.) separate the routing information for each level of the hierarchy.
