19、.16.1.1) and - AdsAmsServerPort (e.g. 801 PLC server, 1st run-time system) A separate ADS-OCX should be used for each ADS communication partner: e.g. ADS_OCX1 for PLC server 1st run-time system e.g. ADS_OCX2 for NC server e.g. ADS_OCX3 for PLC server 2nd run-time system For communication between one

20、 PC and several BC (9)000 Controllers one OCX and e.g. one additional I/O task can be used.
