Information
Communication via TCP/IP can fail if the network cable was connected to the Ethernet socket
of the E-871.1A1N while the E-871.1A1N was switched on.
►
If communication cannot be established, switch the E-871.1A1N off, connect the network
cable, and switch the E-871.1A1N on again.
Information
For communication via TCP/IP, the E-871.1A1N only has one unchangeable port (50000)
available that cannot be used for more than one connection at a time.
Establishing Communication via TCP/IP
1. Start PIMikroMove.
➔
The
Start up controller
window opens with the
Connect controller
step.
2. If the
Start up controller
window does not automatically open, select the
Connections >
New...
menu item in the main window.
3. Select
E-871
in the field for controller selection.
4. Select the
TCP/IP tab on the right-hand side of the window.
➔
The software now searches in the network for all controllers of the type E-871. If the
search was successful, all E-871 controllers in the same network are displayed in the PI
Controllers field.
5. Click on the entry for your E-871.1A1N in the list of controllers found. This must show the
status "listening on port 50000".
■
Do not select a controller that is already connected via TCP/IP (status "connected
to ..."). Otherwise, an error message will be displayed as soon as you try to establish
communication with this controller.
■
If several entries with the same name are shown, identify your E-871.1A1N on the
basis of its nine-digit serial number.
■
If the E-871.1A1N is not displayed in the list of the controllers found, check the network
settings. Consult your network administrator if necessary.
➔
After a controller is selected in the list, its data is shown in the Hostname / TCP/IP Address
and Port fields.
