Procedure 2a: Configuring the Ethernet Interface with
Logicmaster 90-30 Configuration Software
Before you can use the Ethernet Interface with the Series 90-30 PLC, you must configure
the Interface using Logicmaster
t 90-30 configuration software or CIMPLICITYR Con-
trol (see Procedure 2b for configuring using CIMPLICITY Control). The Logicmaster
90-30 configuration software allows you to specify the modules and I/O that will reside
in your Series 90-30 PLC rack(s). The Hand Held Programmer may not be used to con-
figure the Interface.
For the Ethernet Interface specifically, the configuration software allows you to:
H Define the status address of the Ethernet Interface
H Assign the IP Address for the Ethernet Interface, and optionally the Subnet Mask
and the Gateway Address.
H Configure the serial ports (optional).
To configure the Ethernet Interface, access the I/O Configuration rack screen in the
Logicmaster 90-30 Configuration Package, and do the following:
1.
Move the cursor to the desired rack and slot location. The slot may be either
unconfigured or previously configured.
2.
Press the Communications softkey, i.e., Comm (
F6
)
. Your screen display will change
to the one shown on the following page.
