Tab	Description	Restriction
Communication Settings	Manages the connection between the PC and the controller: helping you find a controller in a network, presenting the list of available controllers, so you can connect to the selected controller and manage the application in the controller, helping you physically identify the controller from the device editor, helping you change the communication settings of the controller. The controller list is detected through NetManage or through the Active Path based on the communication settings. To access the Communication settings, click Project > Project Settings... in the menu bar. For more information, refer to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Programming Guide (Communication Settings).
