5.2.1 Setting up communication to the Controller
• Connect the Engineering PC with the controller via a network cable, as the »PLC Designer«
accesses the controller via Ethernet.
• Make the IP settings with the »PLC Designer«.

How to check the communication settings:
1. Go to the Device view and double-click the desired L-force Controller.
2. Make the desired settings on the Communication settings tab.
• Click the Add gateway button to insert a gateway.
• Enter the desired IP address of the L-force Controller.
[5-2] Example: Entering the IP address of the L-force Controller
3. Click OK to add the controller as gateway.
4. By double-clicking the desired channel (or clicking the Set active path button) set the
channel selected in the device tree below the gateway as active path for control.
• Thus, all communication actions directly refer to this channel.
• The currently active path is represented in bold in the list and "(active)" is attached:
5. A device represented in italics is set as momentarily active path but has not been found by
the last network scan.
