5.6 Device List Setup
The device list menu item enables you to indicate
which registers on the PLC will receive data from the
devices. In this menu, you will enter the device type
and address for each Siemens device connected to
port 2. You will also indicate to which registers on the
PLC you want the DTU3005 to write device data.
Select Device List from the Edit menu to display the
device list screen:

• On the left side of the screen is a list of the devices

the devices are visible on the screen at one time.
To see all the devices, click on the scroll bar with
the mouse, or use the Up and Down Arrow and
Page Up
