GE Fanuc Logicmaster 90-30 User Manual

Preface
Revisions to This Manual
This manual has been revised to include the Logicmaster 90-30 TCP/IP-Ethernet
software package. Because the TCP/IP-Ethernet versions of Logicmaster 90-30 and
Logicmaster 90-70 software are similar in operation, the Ethernet-specific documentation
for both products has been combined in this manual.
Logicmaster 90-30 TCP/IP Ethernet includes Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP). This
new feature allows a Logicmaster 90-30 programmer to communicate with 90-30 PLCs
on an Ethernet network through a dial-up phone line.
Content of This Manual
This manual describes the TCP/IP versions of Logicmaster t 90-30 and Logicmaster 90-70
software (Logicmaster 90-30 TCP/IP-Ethernet and Logicmaster 90-70 TCP/IP-Ethernet).
The software runs on a Workmaster computer or IBM PC compatible computer
connected directly to the Ethernet network. This provides a central location from which
to program Series 90 t -30 and Series 90-70 PLCs attached to the Ethernet network.
These software packages include all the features of the standard Logicmaster 90
software. In addition, the software includes Network Utilities, which facilitate the
start-up of a system and provide troubleshooting data for the Logicmaster 90 station.
The manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1. Introduction: This chapter describes the product in general and types of
users of the product. A quick guide to the manual is also provided.
Chapter 2. Installing and Starting Up the Software: This chapter describes how to
install and start up the software on a Workmaster or IBM PC compatible
computer.
Chapter 3. Establishing Communications with PLC Stations: This chapter explains
the task of establishing communications with a Series 90-30 or a Series
90-70 PLC Station to perform Logicmaster functions.
Chapter 4. Network Utilities: This chapter describes the functions of the Network
Utilities. This chapter is primarily for personnel responsible for the
operation of the network.
Appendix A. Quick Start Install Program (Series 90-70 Only): This appendix describes
the Quick Start Install program that can be used to install Logicmaster
90-70 software, Beame & Whiteside TCP/IP software, and GSM software
on the same computer. (This is for the initial installation of these products
only, not upgrades.)
