3.3.7.3 Communication Driver: TCP/IP Direct to RMC-ENET Overview
Note:
This communication driver requires RMC ENET firmware dated 20001108 or later.
The TCP/IP Direct to RMC-ENET driver allows a PC with a TCP/IP interface (such as an
Ethernet adapter or modem with TCP/IP installed) to communicate with the RMC-ENET module.
Because it requires the RMC-ENET module, this method is not available for RMCs that require a
different communication module such as PROFIBUS-DP.
Note:
If your computer has a firewall, it may prevent RMCWin from finding RMC100s on your
Ethernet network from the Communications tab in the Options dialog. See the Setting the
Firewall to Allow RMC100 Ethernet Browsing topic for details. Also, If your RMC is behind a
firewall, make sure the firewall forwards Ethernet port 1324 to the RMC’s IP address.
The most common way to connect the PC to the RMC-ENET is to connect each to a hub or
switch using CAT5 cables:
Note:
A hub should only be used if the RMC-ENET is only used for configuration. If the RMC-
ENET is used for control, then a switch should be used instead to eliminate collisions and
thereby increase determinism.
Notice that the above wiring method is one of many ways of connecting the two devices. The
following and many combinations of the following are also possible:
