Routing Tables
Routing tables allow networked PLCs to be configured so that they can communicate with each other via
gateways; across remote networks. These tables contain the network and unit number information required. It is
only necessary to set up routing tables if the end connection PLC is not a direct connection, i.e. using another PLC
as a gateway connection. The routing table is held within the PLC(s) which acts as the gateway device. Different
types of PLC and networks have different capabilities for routing.
For details about using routing tables refer to
