Configuring Soft Switch Parameters

The Series 90-70 Ethernet Interface supports two methods for setting Soft Switches:

HThe Logicmaster 90-70 Configurator software package, which passes the data to the Series 90-70 PLC CPU.

HThe Ethernet Interface Station Manager CHSOSW command.

Note

The CHSOSW command can only be used when the Ethernet Interface is not configured in the local PLC by the Logicmaster 90-70 Configurator. Logicmaster 90-70 is the primary method for configuring soft switches.

This manual does not describe Soft Switch configuration through the Logicmaster 90-70

Configurator software. Refer to GFK-0263 Logicmastert90 Programming Software User's

Manual for information on configuring your Ethernet Interface using Logicmaster 90-70

Configurator software.

To configure your Ethernet Interface using the GEnet Station Manager CHSOSW command, refer to the following information.

Configuring Soft Switch Parameters Using the GSM

Perform the steps described here to set the Soft Switch values using the GEnet Station

Manager when:

HYou wish to change the default Software Switch values, and do not have the Logicmaster 90 configurator software.

HA Ethernet Interface is in the Soft Switch Entry Utility as indicated by the Soft Switch LED pattern display (module OK LED blinking slowly, other LEDs OFF).

1.Connect a serial cable, as shown in Appendix B, from the 9-pin port on the Ethernet Interface Controller board to a GSM or other terminal device (9600 - 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity). If using the GSM, proceed to step 2, otherwise skip to step 5.

2.Power up the personal computer into DOS, and select the proper drive and directory by typing the following command:

C:\> cd gsm

3.To initiate the GSM, from the DOS prompt, type:

\GSM> gsm term

4.The screen will display the GSM Local Station Manager Terminal menu.

5.Press the Ethernet Interface Restart button.
