Step 1: Connect the FP0H PLC to the network

Connect the LAN cable and make the Ethernet settings for the PLC.

(Replace the IP addresses in this example with the addresses that match your network configuration.)

1. Use a LAN cable to connect either one of the two Ethernet ports of the FP0H PLC with the router.

   The router has the default gateway IP address 192.168.100.1.

2. Connect your PC to the PLC, e.g. with a USB cable, and turn on the power of the PLC.

3. Start the Control FPWIN Pro7 programming software to set the IP address in the FP0H PLC and configure the Ethernet connection.

4. Open or create a Control FPWIN Pro7 project and make sure the set PLC type is an FP0H PLC.

5. Go to PLC > System registers > Ethernet > IP addresses.

   Make the following settings:

   Automatically obtain IPv4 address: No (we need a static IP address)

   IPv4 address: 192.168.100.11

   IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

   IPv4 default gateway: 192.168.100.1

   Preferred DNS server IPv4 address: 192.168.100.1

6. Go to PLC > System registers > Ethernet > System connections.

   Make the following settings:

   System connection 1: Enabled (there is just one system connection for the FP0H PLC)

   Communication mode: MEWTOCOL-COM slave

   Communication method: TCP/IP

   Open method: Server connection (unspecified partner)

   Source port number: 9094

   TCP port 9094 will be used to control the PLC from a remote PC.

7. When you have completed your settings, transfer the configuration to the PLC.
