PM583-ETH does not communicate ethernet port.

How can I check that the ethernet port of PM583-ETH is enabled or that it is in good condition ?. I can not access from software to PLC. Do I need to enable this port from the PLC keyboard?
I can access through the serial port, I could not by ethernet port. PLC PM583-ETH A9 and base TB521-ETH B2

Hi
Have you test the IP config utility?

Otherwise, you could simply try, if you know the IP address of the cpu, to use the command "ping" from your PC the console mode ... to know the IP address of the CPU you have to check it from the display according to the instructions for access commands from display.

Hope this help you

I have tried ping, without answer, using the IP address of the PLC. I connect the port to a switch and I do not have a communication light on the switch, that's why I think the port is disabled or it does not work.

Do you know if the base of the PLC and the PLC can have a different firmware?

Hi
of course, if you have one old CPU he can not work with one new TB unit and vice-versa.
The actual version of TB 521 is 1SAP 112 100 R0270.
The actual version of PM583-Eth is 1SAP 140 300 R0271
If you have different versions they could ne not work properly.

Hope this help you

TB521 has code 1SAP112100R0170 and PLC PM583 has code 1SAP140300R0271.

What can I do so that both operate well? What is your recommendation?

Thanks and regards

Hi
how you can see on the code, you have one OLD code of TB521. You need to change the TB521 with one new model 1SAP 112 100 R0270 - No other solution

I have been able to configure the PLC through serial communication. What does not work for me is the ethernet port.

Do you think there is another limitation for the plc to operate? For me it is urgent and I do not have access to another base immediately.

Thanks

So,
if you don't need to operate with Eth port, probably this is the minor problem.
I recommended you to substitute as soon as possible the old Tb with one new, to guarantee the complete functionality of your system
