1-3-2 Procedure Details
The following Controller Configurations and Setup and the Programming and Task Settings can be performed in either order.
Step 2-1
Slave and Unit
Configurations
1) Creating the Slave
and Unit Configura-
tions
1. Creating the slave configuration and
Unit configuration either offline or
online. (For online configuration, make
the online connection that is described
in step 5.)
2. Setting up any Slave Terminals that are
used.
