CHECKING ETHERNET CONNECTION
■
IP ADDRESS
The R6-NE1 does not support BootP Table Software. The IP Address and Subnet Mask can be configured using the R6CON
Configurator Software.
The Modbus/TCP Port No. is fixed at 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 V2.02 or later.
■
CHECK R6-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
Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64
Reply from ***.***.***.*** : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64
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 ‘timeout’ will be received.
■
CHECK CONNECTION TO THE APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Check Point 1: LINK LEDs
When 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 switch/hub in case that these LEDs are not on.
Check Point 2: RUN Indicator LED
With the side DIP SW3 is set to OFF, a green LED turns on at the RUN Indicator LED in normal data sending/receiving.
Check Point 3: Sending/Receiving Indicators
With the side DIP SW3 is set to ON, a red LED turns on at the RUN Indicator LED in data receiving, and a red LED turns
on at the ERR Indicator LED in data sending. In normal operating conditions, these LEDs may seem to blink at once due to
the high speed transmission.
