Communication Configuration Principle
Introduction The configuration of communication links between different devices with Unity Soft
includes three different configuration parts.
z configuration of the network controller
z configuration of the logical network
z configuration of network variables
Configuration The communication configuration supports the free mode of Unity Soft. That means
the user can first configure the module and then the communication or the user can
configure the communication and then the module.
This will be provided through a NetLink that must be selected in the module
configuration. The network variables including in the VAR folder are linked with a
group name that defines an IP domain over Internet network.
The illustration shows the three parts involved in communication configuration:
