7. Parameter Settings for FX2NC-ENET-ADP

To connect the FX2NC-ENET-ADP to the Ethernet, it is necessary to set the Ethernet
parameters, including the Header, IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway address and
TCP port number.
Set the Ethernet parameters to the 'D' data registers in the PLC.
Immediately after the power is turned on, the FX2NC-ENET-ADP reads the Ethernet
parameters stored in the 'D' data registers in the PLC, and configures itself.

7.1 Used devices

[FX1S]
Set the Ethernet parameters to nine data registers from D128 to D136.
[FX1N/FX2N/FX2NC]
Set the Ethernet parameters to nine data registers from D1000 to D1008.
If these data registers are used for any other purpose, the Ethernet parameters can be
set to nine data registers 'D' starting from D2000, D3000, D4000, D5000, D6000 or
D7000.
: Indicates any number in the range from 1 to 7.
If "ENET" is not found or the parameters such as IP address, Gateway address,
Subnet mask are incorrect, the default parameters are valid.
If FX2NC-ENET-ADAP cannot read out the specified data register stored in the PLC,
the default parameters are used. In such a case, the SD or RD LED is lit.
(Refer to 7.4.)
Note
*1 This is the header identifier required when FX2NC-ENET-ADP identifies the
Ethernet parameters.
Make sure to set H454E4554 ("ENET") to D128/D129 or D000/D001.
*2 The first 8 bits used for the IP address and Gateway address must be in the
range from 1 to 223.
If any number outside this range is used, the RD LED will be lit when the FX2NC-
ENET-ADP is turned on and Ethernet communication will not be performed.
*3 In the following cases (and as explained in *2) concerning the Subnet mask data,
the RD LED will be lit when the FX2NC-ENET-ADP is turned on, an error will
occur and Ethernet communication will not be performed.
(The following conditions are expressed in binary form.)
1) If 1 is set for all bits
2) If 0 is set for all bits
3) If 1 is set immediately after 0 is set
Example: 111...11000100...
*4 The settings of the IP addr ess, Subnet mask and Gateway address depend on
the network environment. For the contents of these parameters, see the network
administrator.
*5 The FX2NC-ENET-ADP searches for the header in the order "D1000 D7000".
The values described in lowest data resister numbers are set as the Ethernet
parameters.

7.2 Parameter setting methods

Set the Ethernet parameters using either of the following methods through serial
communication:
Setting using the PLC program

For each setting example, refer to Section 7.3.

7.3 Parameter setting examples for FX2NC-ENET-ADP

Two examples of setting the Ethernet parameters for the FX2NC-ENET-ADP are shown
below:
Example of parameter settings
When the PLC program is used to set the Ethernet parameters
The Ethernet parameters for the FX2NC-ENET-ADP can be set using the program
shown below:
Note
In the FX2NC-ENET-ADP, the Ethernet parameters become valid only when the power
is turned ON and the setting data is stored in specified data registers.
In either of the following cases, turn off the power of the PLC once, and then turn it on
again.
