Introduction

This manual describes the Series 90-70 Ethernet Interface and the GEnet

t System Manager

Software (GSM).

The Series 90-70 Ethernet Interface and the GSM, together with applications running on
other Series 90-70 or 90-30 PLCs and host computers, form a complete TCP/IP Commu-
nications System for the Series 90-70 PLC. The host application can be Logicmaster
90-70-TCP/IP Software or an application developed using the Host Communications
Toolkit (HCT). GE Fanuc offers the Logicmaster 90-70-TCP/IP software product and the
Host Communications Toolkit product separate from the Ethernet Interface and GSM.

This chapter provides an overview of the product and covers the following topics.
H The Ethernet Communications System,

H How to Make the System Work,

H Quick Guide to the Manual.

The Ethernet Communications System

The Figure 1-1 shows the major components of the Ethernet Communications System,
along with a third- party compatible device, together on one Ethernet cable. Note espe-
cially the two main parts of the Ethernet Communications system, the Ethernet Interface
and the GEnet System Manager Software, and the separation of functions between them.
