In any robust development environment, understanding the intricacies of project configuration and the nuances of license management is essential. The Arduino PLC IDE provides a unique blend of features tailored for industrial automation. Still, to employ them effectively, a solid foundation is indispensable.

To establish Modbus TCP communication, identify the IP address assigned to each Portenta Machine Control device. When you connect the Portenta Machine Control to a computer using an RJ-45 cable via an Ethernet port with standard ethernet settings, it automatically obtains an IP address from the external *Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)* server. To locate these auto-assigned IP addresses, using tools like this [scanner](https://angryip.org/) can prove invaluable.

For deploying the main PLC code to the Portenta Machine Control, choose `Download PLC code` or press `F7`. Upon completing these instructions, you will have set up the Portenta Machine Control device as a Modbus TCP Server. The subsequent section will walk you through configuring another Portenta Machine Control as a Modbus TCP Client.

To configure the Portenta Machine Control as a Modbus TCP Client, access the 'Ethernet' section under the 'Resources' panel in the PLC IDE. In this section, select the 'Modbus TCP Client' checkbox. As highlighted [here](#modbus-tcp-Client-client-and-server-mode), this step will identify the Portenta Machine Control as a Client. The Server option that appears greyed out can be ignored.
