Figure1.
8. Click OK.
9. Click on the device below the protocol, PLC1 as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2.
10. Set the IP Address of Omron NJ/NX PLC. Destination node will be the last Octet of Omron PLC's IP Address. It is 1 in this case - 192.168.250.1
11. Source node will the last Octet of Redlion device's IP Address which is 22 in this case - 192.168.250.22 as shown in Figure 3.
