2 Establishing the connection between PC and XC600
This section describes the necessary steps for connecting the PC to
the XC600 PLC.
Communication is implemented via an Ethernet connection. The
PC must be equipped with an Ethernet module in order for it to be
connected to the network.
Requirements for the Ethernet module in the PC
• Hardware interface standard
– PCI bus specification V 2.1, V 2.2
• RJ45 plug connector for the Ethernet interface
• Ethernet standard
– IEEE 802.3 10 OMSE-T/100 OMSE-TX
– CSMA/CD protocol
Ethernet module configuration
The incorporation of the Ethernet module in the PC configuration
is primarily carried out by the operating system. Only a few
settings need to be made. These depend on the operating system
used. The following description is based on the Windows 95
operating system. The system description will provide information
with other operating systems.
First of all, the IP (network) address must be specified for the
module. It must not be the same as the IP address of the PLC.
Specifying the IP address
X
In Windows 95, choose the menu item Control Panel r
Network and select the Ethernet module.
X
Click on Properties and then the Bindings tab.
X
Activate the TCP/IP protocol.
X
Click OK to return to the Network window ( a fig. 31).
X
Double-click on the protocol “TCP/IP... Fast Ethernet Adapter”.
This will open the “Properties for TCP/IP” window:
X
Activate the Specify IP Address option and enter the address,
e.g. 192.168.119.37.
