Caution
• When the parameter setting is added or changed in GX Works2, the contents of addition or change are not
reflected automatically.
After writing parameters of the Ethernet adapter, turn OFF the power of the Ethernet adapter (PLC), and
turn it ON again.
• When the Ethernet adapter is replaced, reboot the external device as well. (If the external device retains
the Ethernet address, it may be impossible to continue communication because when an adapter is
replaced the Ethernet address changes.)
Similarly, when the external device (personal computer, etc.) is replaced, reboot the Ethernet adapter.
