Logicmaster 90-30 and Logicmaster 90-70 TCP/IP-Ethernet User’s Manual Supplement–April 1996 GFK-1029B
The Logicmaster 90-30/90-70 TCP/IP Network
For the software package to operate, there must be a network of Series 90-30 or Series
90-70 PLCs and a personal computer for running the Logicmaster 90-30 or Logicmaster
90-70 TCP/IP-Ethernet software. General network requirements are summarized below,
with requirements for software and firmware listed in Table 1-1.
H
!!
Each station consists of a Series 90-30 or Series 90-70 PLC with
installed Ethernet Interface.
H
! " !
Series 90-70 only. This consists of a personal
computer attached to the network with the GSM software installed. The GSM is
required to configure the TCP/IP Interfaces installed in the Series 90-70 PLCs before
the Logicmaster package can communicate with them. Refer to GFK-1004, TCP/IP
Communications for the Series 90-70 User’s Manual, for information about GSM
operation.
H
! # ! # !! !!
This consists
of Logicmaster 90-30 or 90-70 TCP/IP-Ethernet software installed in a Workmaster
computer or PC-compatible computer that has an Ethernet card (for Direct Ethernet
connections) or a COM port and modem (for SLIP connection).
H
!
The cable plant should be designed by an experienced Ethernet
installer. This consists of the cabling and physical equipment necessary to connect
the devices listed above to a common network. SLIP connection further assumes the
availability of a SLIP server on the network to which the PLCs are connected.
