GE Fanuc GE9070 via TCP/IP - Hardware Setup

Set up the IP address on the 9070 Ethernet module.

Hints and Tips

The 9070 PLC has a Thick Ethernet port. A transceiver will be needed to connect to other standards (such as Thin Ethernet).

• The transceiver module requires a Signal Quality Error (SQE) test - also known as a heartbeat. Make sure your Ethernet transceiver is set with the SQE test enabled.

Plant SCADA Computer Setup

It is recommended that you setup your specific Ethernet card as required and confirm basic network communications before proceeding with the communications configuration for the TCPIP driver. Refer to the documentation accompanying your hardware for instruction.

Note: You must also setup the TCP/IP protocol on your Plant SCADA computer.
