PLC Configuration

If TwinCAT is installed with PLC function capability (minimum TwinCAT Level PLC) you will see "PLC - Configuration” in the tree view of the System Manager. PLC projects can be added here and their settings (number of run-time systems, port no., cycle times, …) checked. The path settings for the PLC project can also be adjusted accordingly.
