If the programming software and the '''''IBHsoftec S7-SoftPLC''''' version '''&gt;3.x''' are used on different PCs in the same local area network, the '''''IBHNet''''' driver needs only to be installed on the PC with the programming software. If the '''''IBH Link''''' communication adaptor is used, it is also sufficient to install the driver on the PU with the programming software.
