Installing the PLC hardware
The first step is that you must install the Ethernet module and cable into
every PLC. You will need an Ethernet Module (A0563939, 1761-NET-ENI)
and a Cable for the Module (A0565898, 1761-CBL-AM00) per blender.
The module snaps in to the DIN rail just to the right of the Mixer Motor
contact and the cable snaps into the module and PLC:
You will also need to make sure that you are running at least 3.2 blender
software (this can be found on the blender under “Setup/PV config”).
The final thing to do on the PLC is to make sure that the DCOMM light is
enabled. If it is not, then remove the snap cover from the PLC and hold in
on the COMMS recessed switch until the DCOMM light is on.
