Test Menu – Test Communication Ports: Ethernet
The following test feature can be used to check the
operation of the Ethernet communication port by
indicating if an Ethernet link has been established
or not, and can also check the status of the Ethernet
communications to any connected PLC.
Base featured models (-R) do not include an Ethernet
port, therefore this check is not displayed.
NOTE: The communications protocol for the PLC
being selected must be configured the same as the
C-more touch panel. The touch panel’s PLC serial
communications are configured using the C-more
Programming Software’s Panel Manager.
Item No. Function Description Comments
