Figure - Transferring a project to a screen 10.4 Adding a machine to the PLC program – Step 1: See step 1 in section 10.3 to download and install the CLICK PLC programming software. After doing so, either open an existing program and continue to step 2. If you do not have a current program available to edit, connect to the PLC using an Ethernet cable and setting your adapter’s IP to the same subnet, gateway, and subnet mask as the PLC. Recommended settings are as follows: IP: 192.168.1.10 (Subnet = 192.168.1.XXX) Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Make sure no network conflicts are present and navigate to PLC Connect in the CLICK programming software. Figure - PLC connection window Important features of the connection window include A: port type and network adapter selection. Make is selected as well as the correct adapter you are using. Also “Ethernet” double check the port setting IP address information. B: PLC device list here the – devices discovered will be shown. C: and options. These allow to “refresh” “blink” refresh the device list and identify devices if more than one PLC is present on the network by flashing the onboard status LEDs of the selected device. IMPORTANT do – not use the function unless setting up a new PLC or settings have been corrupted. “edit” Once the correct settings have been entered, click and the PLC will connect “connect” and ask to read the project currently in the PLC or use the one loaded currently in memory. Always copy the project currently in the PLC and make a backup before proceeding. Step 2:
