dialog box follows:
Complete the dialog box for the data area to be transferred. For PLC5 and SLC

DESTINATION ELEMENT
should be an element in a data file

is the address in the gateway’s internal database and cannot be set

should be entered in octal format. The
COMMUNICATION
information must also
be configured. The following is an example of the dialog box.
