Definition Remote System rsp. Target System

To be able to use the enlarged possibilities of the Selection of target systems under TwinCAT 2.9, the terms "target-system" and "remote-system" must be defined. When you think of a remote configuration of TwinCAT systems (this could be both other TwinCAT-PCs and other devices of the CX1000 or BX family), a target system is the system, which is registered first at the configurations-PC as "static routes". The target-system can be addressed directly. This means for instance, that the configurations-PC in any case has the rights to access the target system. These rights are already checked when the target sytem is added to the static routes. Moreover you can start a search from the target system to find TwinCAT systems which are released and accessable via TwinCat router. A system which is found and released for configuration is called "remote-system".

Rights on the Remote-System

The configurations-PC can configure the remote-system, even if it has no rights on it, but the target-system above which the remote-system has been routed, needs to have these rights.
