5.4 Preparation

5.4.1 Installing Tools

In the PLC development environment for this CNC, the tools are assumed to be used on Windows PC. Install tools for
Windows PC.
For details of GX Works2 installation procedure, refer to "GX Works2 Installation Instructions".
When GX Works2 is installed, GX Developer is automatically installed as well.

5.4.2 Preparing Ethernet Communication

Prepare Ethernet communication as follows. For details, refer to each instruction manual.
(1) Check the IP address of the CNC unit
(2) Check the setting for prohibiting connection from GX Developer/GX Works2 on the CNC unit
(3) Set the IP address of the personal computer
(4) Connect the Ethernet cable
(5) Set connection destination on GX Works2

5.4.2.1 Checking IP address of CNC unit

Check the IP addresses of the CNC unit. The IP addresses are specified in the following parameters.
Base common parame-
ter
#1926 Global IP address
#1927 Global Subnet mask
This example uses "192.168.200.1", the initial value after SRAM clear.
5.4.2.2 Checking CNC unit setting prohibiting connection from GX Developer/GX
Works2
Check the setting on the CNC unit that prohibits connection from GX Developer and GX Works2. The restriction is set with the
following parameter. When the parameter is set in the way that prohibits connection from GX Developer and GX Works2,
connection from GX Works2 is blocked.
Base common parame-
ter
#11094 GX Restriction

5.4.2.3 Setting IP Address of Personal Computer

Set the IP address of the personal computer that runs GX Works2 within the same range of subnet mask as that of the CNC
unit.
In the case of the above mentioned "Confirming IP Address of the CNC Unit", the address should be selected from the range
between "192.168.200.1" and "192.168.200.254", excluding "192.168.200.1". When other CNCs and devices are connected
to the same network, ensure that their addresses are not duplicated.

5.4.2.4 Connecting the Ethernet Cable

Connect the Ethernet cable to the connector LAN1 (or LAN) of the control unit. If the connector is already connected, connect
the cable to the HUB of the connection target, etc.
