Example: a TSX ETY 110 in an ETHWAY Private Architecture

Overview

The following figure shows a TSX ETY 110 module in an ETHWAY private architecture:

ETHWAY or TCP/IP communication

ETHWAY communication

Recommended Operating Mode

IP addressing is not managed (default value). It is taken from the values displayed on the thumbwheels of the module.
Inter-PLC communication uses the ETHWAY services (COM, UNI-TE).
Communication between the PLC and the supervisor or the programming terminal uses ETHWAY services or UNI-TE on TCP/IP.
The frame format used is Ethernet II.

NOTE: In the following examples, it is assumed that the communication with the terminals is done on TCP/IP.

Configuration of the Local Address of the Module at Station 2

In a closed environment, it is possible to not manage the IP addresses, the Default IP address mode is selected.

Configuration of the Connections of the Module at Station 2

The field to be entered is the X-Way address of the remote stations with which dialog is to be established (X-Way address 1.3); the other fields are automatically initialized. Access protection is inhibited by default and the maximum number of connections is 32.

NOTE: Since the PLC is still the server vis-à-vis the programming terminal, the latter does not have to be declared.

Ethernet Configuration of the Module at Station 2

The Ethernet frame format selected for TCP/IP is Ethernet II because, in the example, the terminals use this format.

Configuration of the Common Words of the Module of Station 2

Station 2 exchanges 16 common write/read words with the other PLCs connected to the network.

Therefore you need to configure the:

type of service
size of common words
network number
