1 The Ethernet Interface The Ethernet Interface enables Series 90 PLCs to communicate with other Series 90 PLCs, with with GE Fanuc PLC programming software, and with applications developed using the SRTP protocol, such as CIMPLICITY® HMI. The Ethernet Interfaces described in this manual have “client/server” capability. As a “client” the Interfaces can initiate communications with other Series 90 PLCs containing Ethernet Interfaces. This is done from the PLC ladder program using the COMMREQ

1 Capabilities of the Ethernet Interface The Ethernet Interface brings to your PLC a great deal of capability. It will allow you to: Become operational quickly. The Ethernet Interface is made operational with very little effort. You need only install the Interface in the PLC rack or baseplate and use the PLC programming software to store basic configuration information to the module to make the basic SRTP server capability functional. SRTP Client capability, the capability to initiate com

1 Ethernet Media Various Ethernet baseband media (10Base...) can be interconnected by appropriate hubs or repeaters. Capabilities and limitations are defined in IEEE 802.3 Chapter 13, “System Considerations for Multi-Segment Networks”. This document is published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017-2394 USA. The Ethernet Interface can operate on any of the following media with the appropriate user- supplied transceiver cabl

1 Special Considerations for Ethernet Interfaces with Embedded Switches Ethernet Interfaces that incorporate embedded switches (only the Series 90-30 CPU374) provide some additional connection options and have some additional installation and operation considerations. These Ethernet Interfaces provide two RJ-45 connectors on the front of the module. It is important to realize that there is only one interface to the network (only one Ethernet address and only one IP address) provided by these

1 The Station Manager Software The built-in Station Manager software provides on-line supervisory access to the Ethernet Interface, through either the Station Manager port or over the Ethernet cable. The Station Manager services on the Ethernet Interface include: An interactive set of commands for interrogating and controlling the station. Unrestricted access to observe internal statistics, an exception log, and configuration parameters. Password security for commands that change station

2 Installing an IC693CMM321 Ethernet Interface Module The IC693CMM321Ethernet Interface mounts in a Series 90-30 PLC baseplate. It connects to an Ethernet network either directly through its 10Base-T port (10Base-T Type only), or through its AAUI port, which requires a user-provided transceiver and cable. If using the AAUI port, you may order a transceiver from GE Fanuc (see Appendix B for information) or supply your own equivalent transceiver. . IC693CMM321 Series 90-30 TCP/IP Ethernet Int

2 LEDs There are four LEDs on the CMM321 module. Each of these LEDs can be ON, OFF, or BLINKING. LED Indication Function OK State of the Ethernet Interface LAN Traffic on the network port FDX Configuration of Full Duplex mode. STAT An exception event has occurred All LEDs are briefly turned ON whenever a restart is performed in the Operational state by pressing and releasing the Restart pushbutton (described below). This allows you to verify that all LEDs are operational. (On module versions

2 Restart and Enter Software Load State: Pressing and holding the Restart pushbutton until the bottom LED (STAT) turns ON (between 5 and 10 seconds) forces a restart and requests entrance to the Software Load state. A reload is used to install a software update into the module and is not part of normal operation. When the Restart pushbutton is pressed, all LEDs go out. After approximately 5 seconds have elapsed, the STAT LED (bottom LED) comes ON, to indicate that the Ethernet Interface wi

2 Ports on the CMM321 RS-232, RJ-11 Port (Station Manager Port) The RS-232, 6-pin, RJ-11 “phone jack” port is used to connect a terminal or terminal emulator to access the Station Manager software on the Ethernet Interface. A cable is needed to connect the terminal or emulator to the Ethernet Interface (see Appendix B, “Communications Ports Characteristics”). This port is also used to update the module’s firmware. Ethernet Ports The CMM321 has just one Ethernet interface. Connection to the
