CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-1 Ethernet unit features Ethernet is the network most commonly used by office equipment today. This Ethernet unit is an optional device for connecting to controllers over the Ethernet. The communications protocol utilizes TCP/IP which is a standard Internet protocol so PCs and business computers with Internet access or equipment incorporating TCP/IP protocols can easily exchange data with the controller. Main features of this Ethernet unit are as follows: ■ The controll

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-2 How data is exchanged The following is a brief explanation to help understand how information is exchanged over the Ethernet with the other devices, such as between the controller and PC. In the communications method called TCP/IP, an IP address is assigned to each device connected on the network. The IP address is a number unique to each device and serves to identify that device. In the communications process, the IP address of the controller must first be specified

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-3 How to connect to Ethernet The Ethernet unit employs 10BASE-T specifications, so the controller connects by a cable to the HUB. Use UTP cables (unshielded twisted-pair cables) or STP cables (shielded twisted-pair cables) for category 3 or higher, with straight-through wiring specifications. To connect to the Ethernet, insert the cable with modular jack into the modular connector on the controller until you hear a click. Insert the other end of the cable into the modul

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-4 Making system settings for the controller (server) A minimum of IP address, subnet mask and gateway settings must be made so that the controller will be correctly identified and acknowledged on Ethernet. These settings are made from the TPB and enabled after the controller is restarted. 2-4-1 Validating the Ethernet unit Before the Ethernet unit can be used, it must first be set as follows, to allow it to be identified by the controller.

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-4-2 Setting the IP address This following explains how to set the IP address. The IP address is a number unique to each device and identifies that device from among many other devices connected on the network. The IP address of one device must not be the same number as another device so use caution when setting the IP address. 1) Press F3 (SYS) on the initial menu [MENU] screen. select menu 1EDIT2OPRT3SYS 4MON 2) Press F4 (next) to switch the function [SYS] display and

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit ! CAUTION When connecting the controller on an already existing network, always check with the network supervisor before making IP address, subnet mask and gateway set- tings. MEMO MEMO The IP address is separated into network address and host address sections. The network address section is extracted from the IP address by AND processing with the subnet mask. The remaining portion is the host address section. Devices belonging to the same network must all be set to have
