Configuring Communication
Between the Controller
and a PanelView PLUS
Terminal To enable communication between a GuardPLC 1600 or
GuardPLC 1800 controller and PanelView PLUS terminal, you need the
following software”
•
RSLinx Enterprise, version 5.0 (CPR9)
•
FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition, version 5.00.00
(CPR9)
•
RSLogix Guard PLUS, version 4.1 (Build 6111)
This section guides you through:
•
setting up FactoryTalkView Studio Machine Edition software
•
adding Ethernet/IP protocol to your RSLogix Guard PLUS project
•
creating a graphic display that can read and write INT and
BOOL data to and from the GuardPLC controller
Parameter Description
IP address The IP address uniquely identifies the module. The IP address is in the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where each xxx is a number between 0…255. These are reserved values
you cannot use:
•
127.0.0.1
•
0.0.0.0
•
255.255.255.255
subnet mask Subnet addressing is an extension of the IP address scheme that allows a site to use a
single network ID for multiple physical networks. Routing outside of the site continues by
dividing the IP address into a net ID and a host ID via the class. Inside a site, the subnet
mask is used to redivide the IP address into a custom network ID portion and host ID
portion. This field is set to 0.0.0.0 by default.
If you change the subnet mask of an already-configured module, you must cycle power to
the module for the change to take effect.
gateway A gateway connects individual physical networks into a system of networks. When a node
needs to communicate with a node on another network, a gateway transfers the data
between the two networks. This field is set to 0.0.0.0 by default.
