Fieldbus configuration

Do the following steps to create a Fieldbus Driver:

Double-click on the entry Fieldbus Configurations in the project tree, to open the IO Drivers * view for fieldbus configurations.
Click on the Insert Configuration symbol in the vertical toolbar to open the Add Configuration dialog.
Select the fieldbus you want to create from a list in the Choose a configuration area and click on OK.
Hint: Some drivers can be configured with the help of a Wizard. In this case the first dialog of the Wizard opens and guides you step by step. This configuration can be modified afterwards by adapting the parameters.
The fieldbus driver will be added to the configuration.
Hint: The driver specific parameters are displayed after creation. This is done in a separate area of the Workbench Studio next to the driver.
