Ethernet interface module

CHECKING ETHERNET CONNECTION

■ IP ADDRESS

The R5-NE1 does not support BootP Table Software. The IP Address and Subnet Mask can be configured using the R5CON

Configurator Software.

The Modbus/TCP Port No. is fixed to 502.

■ DATA ALLOCATION MODE

The Data Allocation Mode is usually set to "2" with the side DIP switches. Setting "1" is used only when all the I/O modules

on the base are for Data Allocation Mode 1. This setting affects analog I/O data allocations.

■ CHECK WIRING

Connect an Ethernet cable to the front RJ-45 connector.

■ CHECK LED

When wiring is correct, LINK and LINK10, or LINK and LINK100 are turned on.

When the module is receiving or sending data, LINK10 or LINK100 blinks.*

* LEDs are turned ON for firmware version V1.00 or later.

■ CHECK R5-NE1 CONNECTION

Enter "ping command" on the Windows MS-DOS as follows:

C:\WINDOWS>ping ***.***.***.***

(***.***.***.***: Enter IP address in decimal.)

ping ***.***.***.*** with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64

Ping statistics for ***.***.***.***

Packets:Sent=4,Received=4,Lost=0(0% loss)

Replies in case of normal connection are as shown above. If the connection cannot be established normally due to e.g. wrong

IP address, other replies such as "time over" will be received.

■ CHECK CONNECTION TO THE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Check Point 1: LINK LEDs

When a normal connection is established, the front LINK and LINK10 or LINK100 are turned on regardless of data sending/

receiving status. Check power supply to the hub in case that these LEDs are not on.

Check Point 2: RUN Indicator LED

With the side DIP SW3 is set to OFF, the RUN Indicator LED turns to Green in normal data sending/receiving.

Check Point 3: Sending/Receiving Indicators

With the side DIP SW3 is set to ON, the RUN Indicator LED turns to Red in data receiving, and the ERR Indicator LED

turns to Red in data sending. In normal operating conditions, these LEDs may seem to blink at once due to the high speed

transmission.
