  • Page 21 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 How to access to the Raspberry PLC 5.1 Raspberry PLC access To facilitate the connection to the Raspberry PLC, our company has set a default IP. For the first time of use, an Ethernet connection between the Raspberry PLC and a PC will be necessary. The Raspberry is given with the local IP address 10.10.10.20/24*(eth0) and 10.10.11.20/24*(eth1), the default user is pi and the password is raspberry.
  • Page 22 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 ping 10.10.10.20 If the ping works successfully means that our connection is ready. If not, you can check section 6 again or read our blog about changing the local IP. In order o the Raspberry PLC using SSH (Secure Shell), run the command shown below: ssh pi@10.10.10.20 The connection will start, but first the password provided before will be required.
  • Page 23 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 ● mkdir: use this command to create a new directory. ● rm: is used to delete directories and the contents within them. ● touch: allows you to create a blank new file. In order to logout and close the connection, just type “exit” in the Raspberry terminal. 5.1.2 Windows For Windows users, we recommend using the open-source terminal emulator PuTTy SSH client.
  • Page 24 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 When you start the connection, the terminal window will be opened. Enter your username pi and press Enter, then enter your password raspberry. If the username and password are correct, the SSH session will be started. When an SSH connection is made for the first time, the server delivers the server's public key to the SSH client.
  • Page 25 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 How to change the IP To access the Raspberry PLC, the PLC must be on the same local network as the computer which we are working with. For changing the IP we must have connected our PC to an Ethernet connection.
  • Page 26 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 Then we must click on the Ethernet connection and a window about the state of it will be shown, where we can check all the details of the Ethernet connection. For changing the IP, click on the Properties button. Then search for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click again on the Properties button.
  • Page 27 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 How to transfer files from the PC to the Raspberry PLC Sometimes it is necessary to transfer files from our computer to the Raspberry PLC. The best way to do it is using the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), a protocol that allows the secure transfer of files between a local host and a remote host based on the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH).
  • Page 28 Rev. 3: 14-01-2025 7.2 Linux Linux systems have the SCP protocol included on them by default. In order to work with them it is only necessary to select a source and the destination. The command syntax is the following: scp <source> <destination> To copy a file from our personal computer to the home directory of the Raspberry Pi PLC, do the following: scp /path/file pi@10.10.10.20:/home/pi...
