Hi,
This is the first time i am working on a GE VersaMax.
I have a brand new PLC VersaMax ic200cpue05. It is a replacement for the old one which got physically damaged. I have the program (project) and just need to download it on the PLC. The problem is communication.
I set my laptop with IP address 192.168.0.10
Hooked laptop to PLC using a straight patch lead
Opened the proficy machine addition
opened my project
Utilities --> Set temporary IP address
Took the mac address from the PLC
Assign IP address 192.168.0.1 to the plc
selected my network card (laptop)
press 'set IP'
After some time an error window shows up stating that the request timed out
What i am missing? should i set something else before attempting to set the IP address
