5.4CHECKING ONDEMAND STATUS

Now that you have configured Node 01 for the HS500E and defined corresponding Write and Read Tags in the PLC, the last step is to check the communication status between the HS500E and the PLC.

ƒOn the HS500E’s HTML Server - Main Page, click the link labeled:

OnDemand Status.” The OnDemand Status Page will be displayed.

This message indicates that the PLC has established a connection with Node 01.

The OnDemand Status Page

The OnDemand Status Page provides information regarding the connection status between the PLC and each configured Node (Node 01 in this case). This information can be used to verify that read and write connections between the Node and the PLC have been established successfully.

ATTENTION:

If the PLC and HS500E do not establish a successful connection, as depicted in the image above, Ethernet/IP services on the HS500E, PLC and/or the PLC’s 1756-ENBT module might not be running. Cycle power to the HS500E and verify that Ethernet/IP services are indeed running on the PLC and the 1756-ENBT module.
