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 baseplate and, use the Logicmaster configuration package or CIMPLICITY Control to store basic configuration information to the module to make the basic server capability functional. Client capability, that is, the capabili

1 Attachment of the Ethernet Interface to the LAN The AAUI port provides the electrical and mechanical interface to the user-provided Ethernet transceiver cable, which connects the AAUI port to an external user-provided transceiver. (The transceiver cable may be separate or built-in to the transceiver.) The external transceiver is directly connected to the Ethernet cable. Various Ethernet baseband media (10Base...) can be interconnected by appropriate re- peaters. Capabilities and limitations

1 The PC Software Loader The PC Software Loader is a separate software utility which updates the communications software stored in “flash” memory in the Ethernet Interface. This utility is supplied with any updates to the Ethernet Interface software. How to Make the System Work There are only a few simple tasks required to get your Ethernet Communications System working. These tasks are addressed in detail later in this manual. 1. Install the Ethernet Interface into the Series 90-30 baseplate

Chapter Installing the Ethernet Interface 2 This chapter describes the basic features of the Ethernet Interface, its installation, config- uration, and a procedure for its initial checkout on your Ethernet cable. The chapter first provides a hardware overview of the Ethernet Interface. It is then divided into four Installation Procedures, each providing an overview of the procedure and then explain- ing the detailed steps to be performed. As you work through a proce

2 Board Indicators There are four LEDs on the Ethernet Interface: OK, LAN, SER, and STAT. Each of these LEDs can be ON, OFF, BLINKING slow, or BLINKING fast. They indicate the state of the Interface, traffic on the network port (LAN ONLINE LED), and that an exception event has occurred. All LEDs are briefly turned ON whenever the Restart button (described below) is re- leased. This permits the operator to verify that all LEDs are operational. See “Procedure 3.

2 Notes Reloading the Ethernet Interface requires the attachment of the PC Software Loader to the Software Loader port and initiating a load with the PC Software Loader. The PC Software Loader is a separate software utility which updates the communications software in the Ethernet Interface. This utility is supplied with any updates to the Ethernet Interface software. See Appendix E for more information. At any time before you initiate a load with the PC Software Loader, you can restart the E

2 AAUI (Transceiver) Port The 14-pin AAUI port provides the electrical and mechanical interface to the user-pro- vided IEEE 802.3 transceiver cable, which connects the AAUI Port to an external Ether- net-compatible transceiver (see Appendix B for the characteristics of the AAUI Port). The external transceiver is directly connected to the Ethernet cable. Default Station Address Label The Default Station Address label lists the MAC address to be used by this Interface.

Connect the transceiver cable into the 14-pin AAUI Port of the Ethernet Interface. Secure the cable. The other end of the transceiver cable should be connected to an external IEEE 802.3 compatible transceiver which is attached to the Ethernet network. If the transceiver has a switch or jumper for SQE, it must be enabled. (Note: The transceiver cable may be built-in to the tr
