Searching for target systems
Before you can work with the devices, you must connect your local computer to the target device. Then you
can search for devices with the help of the IP address or the host name.
The local PC and the target devices must be connected to the same network or directly to each other via an
Ethernet cable. In TwinCAT a search can be performed for all devices in this way and project planning
subsequently carried out.
Prerequisites for this step:
• TwinCAT 3 must be in Config mode.
• IP address or host name of the device.
Search for the devices as follows:
1. In the menu at the top click on
File > New > Project
and create a new TwinCAT XAE project.
2. In the tree view on the left click on
SYSTEM
, and then
Choose Target
.
3. Click on
Search (Ethernet)
.
4. Type the host name or the IP address of the device into the
Enter Host Name / IP
box and press
[Enter]
.
