Initializing the ADS connection
Enter the Bus Terminal Controller in the remote connection under TwinCAT. Click on the TwinCAT icon and
open the features menu. The following settings can be made under the >AMS Remote< tab.
Fig. 32: Properties of the remote connection
Remote Name: Any
AMS-Net-ID: 1.1.1.1.1.1 (Default)
Address: COM Port: Baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits
Transport: Select "COM port"
When the Bus Terminal Controller is switched on, the default AMS Net ID is always "1.1.1.1.1.1" (except all
Ethernet Controllers).
The AMS Net ID can be changed as required. Please note that the new AMS Net ID cannot be changed
again in this way.
If you need to change the new AMS Net ID again, you have to restart the Bus Terminal Controller, so that
the AMS Net ID is reset to the default AMS Net ID, "1.1.1.1.1.1".
You can now change the AMS Net ID again.
