Connect to PLC via hostnamedl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Automation Builder supports the connection to PLCs via hostname.

To access a PLC via hostname, the user should add the prefix “dns:” in the editor view “Communication Settings” of that PLC.

Hostname_V3

This enables a login to a PLC via hostname.

Firmware update of a PLC via Automation Builder requires the configuration of the IP-Address in bytes and will not work with any hostname.
