Address Entry Help
At a Glance
To assist in entering the address, a help screen is available.
With this screen, a description of the architecture in which the communication function is integrated and generated can be added. By completing the fields of this description, the address is automatically generated.

Mode
The first parameter to select is the Mode. With it you can select one of the following communication modes: local (communication by bus) remote (communication by network)
Network Level
For remote communications only, the network level is used to:
enter the network number, enter the station number, select the station type.
Station Level
Depending on the communication function, with this parameter the type of exchange can be selected:
The Application box selects an exchange with a PL7 application (corresponds to APP addressing).
The System box selects the PLC system of the station designated by the network level
(corresponds to SYS addressing).
The Module box means that the destination device is connected to the station via a link (Uni-
Telway, Modbus, Modbus Plus or Fipio). This case requires you to specify:
the position of the module supporting this link,
the type of this module.
Protocol
The Protocol field defines the exchange protocol used between the station on the network and the exchange’s destination device.
Device Level
This parameter is used to specify:
the type of destination device, the address of this device.

Limitations
In the address entry help screen, communications from a Uni-Telway slave require coding of the destination address in the transmission buffer (see Unity Pro, Communication, Block Library).
The help window allows full entry of the section corresponding to ADDR() advising the user that the additional buffer must be coded.
Remote station address coding is only supported by the following devices: TSX 17, TSX 37,
TSX 47-107, TSX 57.
For third-party devices, only entry of the port number is proposed. In other cases the address must be entered manually.
