How to get a 5/05 into a network using its Ethernet port?

I need to commission an AB PLC 5/05 into the Ethernet network using the 5/05 Ethernet port.

In the management office there will be an HMI displaying the selected variables inside the 5/05.

Where can I find a good source of information on how to set up this connection and the components I will need?


Thanks for your comments

I remember the manuals for the SLC5/05 being pretty good. Your real issues will probably be with the network itself.

How familiar are you with IP addresses, subnet masks, IP filters, and firewalls?

I usually find that something that's not configured in Windows is the reason my ethernet networks fail.

Need LSS ---Omron PLC !!!

Hi:
I need a software---LSS that can be used to run Omron C28P PLC.
Where can I get it?

However I have Syswin3.4,but the software doesn't have this model to let me choose, only C20 ,C2000 ,CxxH,CxxK.

I hope I can get it from someone who has LSS,

Thank you very much indeed!!!

I'm going to download and check the manual.

Thanks

If Omron CX-Programmer software can help, perhaps I can give you a hand on this.

I have a friend who lives close to you that I can contact.

Anibal,

Regardless of product you have, if it's on the ethernet
you have to choose either bootp or specify the
IP address and subnet mask. First one is used on large networks
like for corporate network or internet access). As far as
I've seen, static addresses are used in 99% of plants.
In either case the addressing type would be provided by your
network administrator. To verify proper hardware connection
you can try to ping address on the network.
If you get timeout something is wrong with the hardware or addresses.
You have to make sure you can ping before you start software setup.
Just to develop your application, simply use static addressing like

PLC IP: 192.168.0.1
HMI IP: 192.168.0.2
Your Laptop IP: 192.168.0.3 etc.

Note that all IP addresses must be unique but the
subnet mask must be same for each device.
For our example you can use subnet mask 255.255.255.0
This means that first three number in the IP address will
have to be the same while last number must be unique.
Some addresses are reserved (like broadcasting) but this
mask would give you room for ca 250 nodes.

Note that "0" in subnet mask specifies which part of
IP address needs to change from one device to another.
The "1" in the "255"s { 255(dec)=11111111(bin) }
is determining which part of the address must be the same
for all devices. Also if you look at the whole subnet mask
as sequence of bits, all "1" must be on one side and all "0"
on the other - no mixing is allowed.
For example 255.255.252.0 is also valid mask because
of mentined rules.

11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000 (or 255.255.252.0)

This would allow you to use about 1000 nodes on the same network.

It's not meant to be complete ethernet tutorial but
I hope it helps.
 
IMO you should bypass the bootp option and use the serial port. This is much easier to use for most people as they are more likeley familiar with downloading serialy to a PLC. Set the IP, subnet, gateway, etc. in the offline project and download. Then you are off and running. As previously stated the manuals are pretty good. Let us know of any specific questions.

I agree.

Thanks, Panic Mode, for clarifying the subnet mask. I've been over it so many times myself, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse that's already been rendered into glue and snorted by some bratty teenager.

Thanks for the Ethernet tutorial, which was great. I will get my hand on the manuals and tried to complete this project. I’ll be using the POST REPLY button as questions arises it.

Good job everyone!
