Communication protocols

The set of supported communication protocols is continuously being extended. Each of the protocol documentation describes the current state. You can find here information on the configuration of communication lines, stations, and I/O tags for individual protocols. Only some of the supported communication protocols are described in the on-line help. Documentation of the others is available on demand.
