CMM321 Configuration

Before you can use the Ethernet Interface you must configure the module using the PLC
programming software. The PLC programming software allows you to specify the modules and
I/O that will reside in your Series 90-30 PLC rack(s). The Hand Held Programmer can not be
used to configure the Ethernet Interface.

For the Ethernet Interface specifically, the configuration software allows you to:

ƒ

Define the Status address of the Ethernet Interface.

ƒ

Assign the IP address for the Ethernet Interface, and optionally the subnet mask and the
gateway address.

ƒ

Configure the serial ports (optional).

Configuring the Interface Using Windows-Based Programming Software
