NS8 Talking on ETN

4 posts in this topic

I am trying to connect an NS8 touchscreen to a PLC with Ethernet. I cant get it to do anything but sit there connecting and I have spent 4 hours messing with it. Can someone please help me with what the settings would be for the PLC (ETN21 or ETN11 I can use either module) and also help me with the settings for the NS screen? I have them both set to similar addresses (PLC is 192.168.1.1, touchscreen is 192.168.1.2) I have them both on network 1. In the NS I selected it to be node 2. If I go into the NS touchscreen settings and I select Comm test from the special screen, it will let me get the info of the PLC with command 0501 to N.n.u= 1.1.0. One thing that is very strance to me is that I also in the NS-Designer cannot select the memory addresses to be ETN:#### only PT or SerialA. I am pulling my hair out!

You have to register the PLC as a host in the NS
