Question

'I can't see my ECOM/ECOM100 with NetEdit. What do i do?'

Answer

AutomationDirect offers thousands of industrial automation products through its Online Superstore and 2,000-page catalog. Products include Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), AC drives/motors, operator interface panels/HMI, motor controls, DC power supplies, push buttons, sensors, NEMA electrical enclosures, wire duct, wire and more. STRIDE industrial unmanaged Ethernet switch, 5 ports, (5) Ethernet 10/100Base-T (RJ45) port(s), -10 to +60 deg C, plastic housing, IP40, 35mm DIN rail mount.

If NetEdit3 doesn't see the ECOM module when you press 'Scan Network', check the following:
1) Verify Link Good LEDs are illuminated on module and connecting devices like hubs or unmanaged switches.
2) Turn OFF any WiFi devices or other ethernet devices.
3) Firewalls need to be turned OFF for initial connection (see Windows Help). Also, turn OFF any antivirus or other protection software that can interfere with ethernet communication.
4) Try to PING the ECOM module to establish basic connection (see Windows Help, or search for resources on internet if not familiar with these steps).
5) You may need to disable any other network adapters besides the one physically connected to the ECOM or network the ECOM is on. If you get 'Transport Protocol error', try the instructions in this link:

Go to Step 4, Item C. The latest version of NetEdit has the ability to select the specific network adapter, by going to the main Menu, select 'Network', then 'Adapter' and specifying which installed adapter you want to use ( it also lists the IP addresses of the adapters). We strongly suggest you download the latest version of NetEdit here:

6) If you have a network administrator, you may need to check with them to verify the configuration of the local network.
7) If you have Windows XP or earlier, and you still can't make a connection, you should consider trying the IPX protocol. Click the IPX button in NetEdit3. If you get the 10047 error, you need to install the NWLink/IPX protocol to your computer ethernet card.
See Windows Help for this procedure, or try this link

If you can't connect to an existing/unknown ECOM100 in a network, and the card is likely newer than 2007, by powering-down and putting dipswitch 6 ON, then powering up, the IP address will be reset to all 0's, and should become visible to NetEdit3. You must power down and turn this dip back OFF for card to be able to operate properly.

MODBUS TCP/IP support

The H2-ECOM100 supports the industry standard MODBUS TCP/IP Client/Server protocol in addition to the standard IP and IPX protocols. This allows the DL205 PLC with an H2-ECOM100 module to serve as a client (master) or as a server (slave) on a MODBUS TCP/IP Ethernet network. The H2-ECOM100 can actively issue MODBUS commands to other nodes or devices on the MODBUS TCP/IP network or simply respond to connected MODBUS TCP/IP clients.

PLC-to-PLC communications

The ECOM modules plug into any I/O slot (excluding slot 0) of any local DL205 I/O base. The module maintains identification data, descriptive information, and communication parameters for PLC-to-PLC communications in flash memory. Disconnect power before installing or removing any PLC module.

NetEdit3 software

Free NetEdit3 Software ships with the ECOM User Manual. Use NetEdit3 to set up the ECOM modules for your network. Flexible addressing allows you to use your choice of protocols and identifying methods. Assign each module a number or a name or both. You don't have to use an IP address, but you can if it is necessary for your network. NetEdit3 uses two protocols for PC-to-PLC communications: IPX and TCP/IP. Select the one you want to use, or use them both. The NetEdit3 screen displays all identifiers and troubleshooting information for each module on the network. You can use NetEdit3 to adjust parameters for PLC-to-PLC communications by clicking on Advanced Settings. The network identifiers can also be changed from DirectSOFT32 Programming Software.

Communications accessories and kits

FA-ISOCON - Universal, isolated RS232C to RS422/ RS485 converter.
Switch selectable for ANTE (Automatic Network Transmitter Enable) or RTS/CTS handshaking, works with all DirectLOGIC PLC families and virtually any serial device. Isolation reduces network data problems caused by noisy environments. Power directly from the 5 V pins on most DirectLOGIC CPU ports, from a PLC base 24 VDC power supply, or from an external power supply. Cables and connectors to most COM ports (RJ12, DB9-female, DB25-male) provided. Integral DIN rail clamp or can be panel mounted. Manual included with product.

F2-UNICON - RS232C to RS422 converter.
Converts RJ12 RS232C port to a DB25 male RS422 port. Powered directly from the 5 V pins on most DirectLOGIC CPU ports. Includes 1 ft. cable with two RJ12 6P6C plugs, and DIN rail mounting kit. Includes manual with product.
NOTE: The F2-UNICON provides no signal isolation, so it is not recommended for noisy industrial environments.

FA-UNICON - In-line, DB25, RS232C to RS422/ RS485 converter.
Connectors provided for the D3-422-DCU and to connect a DirectLOGIC RJ11/ RJ12 RS232C port to a DB25 female RS422/ RS485 connector. Power directly from the PLC base 24 VDC supply or an external power supply. Connection to a PC RS232 COM port requires a custom cable. A pin 4-20 jumper is required on the FA-UNICON for DB9.
NOTE:The FA-UNICON provides no signal isolation, so it is not recommended for noisy industrial environments.
