See issue: Beckhoff/ADS#98

For TwinCAT release 4024 the ADS route needs to be added manually (dialog not working) by adding:

		<Route>
			<Name>epics</Name>
			<Address>192.168.114.129</Address>
			<NetId>192.168.114.129.1.1</NetId>
			<Type>TCP_IP</Type>
			<Flags>32</Flags>
		</Route>

Note: Update with correct address and NetId..

to the static route file on the target cpu:

C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Target\StaticRoutes.xml
