When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.
You can write CIMON PLC Ethernet by using write settings.
Bit Write
Bit write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT Port no. (0 ~ 255)
2) STATION Don't care.
3) ADDRESS Address of bit write. lower 1 digit( hexadecimal ) = bit position, upper 3 digit( decimal ) = word address.
4) Extra1 Write device type = X, Y, M, L, K, F, T, C, S, D, DD, DD2, DF, DF2, TC, TS, CC, CS, Z. (S, D, TC, TS, CC, CS, Z device support after WORD reading and bit operation)
5) Extra2 Don't care.
Write example 1)
Port : 0 Station : 0 Address : 000F Extra1 : M, EXTRA2 :
The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for F bit( 16th bit) of M device.
Write example 2)
Port : 0 Station : 0 Address : 0035 Extra1 : Y, EXTRA2 :
The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for 5 bit( 6th bit), 3 word( 4th word ) of Y device.
Write example 3)
Port : 0 Station : 0 Address : 012A Extra1 : D, EXTRA2 :
The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for A bit( 11th bit), 12 word( 13th word ) of D device.
Word Write
Word write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT Port no. (0 ~ 255)
2) STATION Don't care.
3) ADDRESS Address of word write, 4 digit( hexadecimal ).
4) Extra1 Write device type = X, Y, M, L, K, F, S, D, DD, DD2, DF, DF2, TC, TS, CC, CS, Z. ( T, C ard bit write only device )
5) Extra2 WORD/DWORD write data size selection of word write. 2 = DWORD, 0 or etc : WORD.
Write example 1)
Port : 0 Station : 0 Address : 0011 Extra1 : M, EXTRA2 :
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 11 word( 12th word ) of M device.
Write example 2)
Port : 0 Station : 0 Address : 0121 Extra1 : D, EXTRA2 :
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 121 word( 122th word ) of D device.
Write example 3)
Port : 0 Station : 0 Address : 0121 Extra1 : D, EXTRA2 : 2
The setting parameter shown above is an example of double word write for 121 word( low word ) and 122 word( high word ) of D device.
Connection of communication cable and main power line are as follows.
Connection of Ethernet(10 Base-T) communication cableEthernet
Please connect normal 10 Base-T communication cable( when connection to hub = direct cable, direct connection to computer = cross cable ) to CM1-EC01A Ethernet module of CIMON PLC such as <Figure 4>.
Connection of main power line
Please connect main power line to main power connector, AC220V such as <Figure 4>.
 |

IP address setting of CIMON PLC's Ethernet module are as follows.
1. Connect CIMON PLC loader cable to 'COM' port( COM1, COM2, ... ) of PC.
2. Execute CIMON PLC's loader program, 'CICON'.
3. Link PLC to ¡®Online|Connect¡¯ (or ¡®Online|Connect+Download+Monitor¡¯) menu of 'CICON' program.
4. Select ¡®Tools|Special card setting..¡¯ menu, then will shows dialog box such as <Figure 5>.
5. Set card type to 'Ethernet' and press 'OK' button. Then will shows dialog box such as <Figure 6>.
6. Input IP address, gateway, Net-Mask at <Figure 6> dialog box.
Note) Normally upper 3 digit IP address(IP4) set to equal address.( when Net-Mask = 255.255.255.0 )
Example) If computer's IP address = 192.168.1.5, CIMON PLC's IP address = 192.168.1.? (? = 1 ~ 255, except 5)
