INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

This tool is designed to support the technician in the 

installation or maintenance works of an e-batch system. 

The communication between this program and a PLC unit is 

based on Ethernet utilizing the Internet protocol suite 

(TCP/IP and UDP telegrams) so the members should be on the 

same network  and share same network parameters (e.g. subnet 

and basic address) and permissions from the local firewall. 

 

The most common subnet for local network is 192.168.xxx.xxx 

( IPv4 format)

so please check that the local pc and plc belong 

to the same network range for the three first group of 

numbers, even as an alternative address (e.g. 192.168.001.xxx ).
