A.2.3 HMI/CPU Communications Events

Troubleshooting communications between an HMI and a CPU:

Check power to System Interface Ethernet Switch.

Check power and status of CPU.

Check communications link status. LEDs at the Ethernet ports on the HMI, switch, and CPU
should be green.

Check communications with redundant CPU by establishing it as the Primary (default) unit.

Verify that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (if applicable) are compatible
between the CPU and HMI.

If this does not reveal the source of the problem, contact GE Service.
