5.2 Communication Setup
5.2.3 How to Set Up the Ethernet Connection
2 When using Ethernet module (Q series)
The setting items and precautions are shown below for communicating GT SoftGOT1000 to the PLC
CPU via the Ethernet module (Q series).
This section describes the system configuration to monitor the host as shown below.
When monitoring other stations, follow the same procedure as the host.
Setting items
The port No. for the Ethernet module (Q series) is fixed to "5001".
Refer to the following for how to set the N/W No., PLC No./PC No., IP address and
port No. of the Ethernet module and GT SoftGOT1000.
This section (7)
The following shows the procedure for communicating GT SoftGOT1000 to the PLC CPU via the
Ethernet module (Q series).
(1) Before setting
(a) Monitoring the CPUs on other networks
Monitoring the CPUs on other networks requires the routing parameter to be set.
Refer to the following for how to set the routing parameters.
This section (4) Routing Parameter Setting
This section (7)(b) Routing Parameter Setting
(b) Precautions for communication
When multiple network devices (including GT SoftGOT1000) are connected to the same
segment, the network load may increase, and the communication speed may slow down
between GT SoftGOT1000 and the PLC.
The following actions may improve the communication performance.
• Use a switching hub.
• Use the high-speed 100BASE-TX (100Mbps).
• Reduce the monitoring points of GT SoftGOT1000.
