- In the dialog box "PLC Properties" the communication protocol for the PLC may be selected and a name for the PLC may be entered.
- Now the previously chosen protocol needs to be highlighted in the tree view.
- Via "Modify - Connection settings" the communication parameters for the selected protocol can be chosen.
- Please save your changes before transferring the configuration to the server.

Inside a project, multiple PLCs with equal and differtent protocols are possible. Also S5 and S7 PLCs may be mixed.
All commands of the "Modify" menu are also available by right-clicking of the mouse or using the toolbar. Only commands valid for the current node can be selected. All other commands are grayed.
