TopServer App Note

This document provides instructions for configuring Kepware KEPServerEX HMI to communicate with a DH+ network using an ANC-120e USB to DH+ adapter or ANC-100e Ethernet to DH+ adapter. The steps include opening TopServer, creating a new channel named after the adapter, selecting the appropriate device driver and network adapter, adding a device using the adapter's IP and target DH+ node number, and adding and testing a tag to read from a known PLC address on the DH+ network.
