various tabs that you can use to configure the network.

Tip!
It is recommended to first define and configure all nodes of a network via the Nodes tab
and only afterwards carry out the global settings of the network via the Settings tab.
9.4.1 Nodes
In the Nodes tab you establish nodes which are to communicate with each other via the network.
• In the Nodes tab the nodes are represented in the form of a network.
• You can construct a network only from nodes that you have also inserted into the project as
devices.

Tip!
If during inserting a network in the Network dialog box the control field entitled Insert
machine application and add nodes was highlighted, all existing devices have already been
inserted automatically into the network as nodes.
