Link between Configuration and Communication
NetLinks During Unity Pro application design, the NetLinks are created and inserted on sub-
folder Communication under Network. These are the names of logical networks.
Under configuration folder, on the communication module node included in the
current station, the list of existing NetLinks is proposed to select and attach one
network to one module. Only the NetLink that can be managed by this module, are
displayed in the list box on module configuration screen. No NetLink can be edited
and created here (no edit box), but this list contains at least the No_Link field.
The following figure shows the window for the Ethernet link for the Quantum NOE
module.
