Choose Route
The "Choose Route" dialog provides a quick and easy view of the routes that are registered on the system. The ports that can be reached by the Symbol Explorer are displayed for each route. These are the pre-set ports for accessing the PLC (TwinCAT2 / TwinCAT3) or specially configured ports for accessing the EtherCAT master under the Process Image, for example. The ports can be configured via the Options dialog.
