GE 90-30 w/ Proficy

2 posts in this topic

I have a GE Fanuc PLC and I am having trouble getting my laptop to go online with it. I have tried 2 different laptops, one I can connect fine on, the other will time out. I use the same cable to make the connection and change the IPs on both laptops to work with the IP address of the PLC. I use the same program on Proficy on both laptops as well. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem month ago. PLC on-board Ethernet interface has speed 10 Mb/sec. But my laptop's network card has default speed 1Gb/sec. Thus, there was conflict due to different speeds. I changed the speed of laptop network card to 10 Mb/sec and connection was established. By the way, I also tried to use other laptop (older than mine with obsolete NIC) with the same result as you have obtained.
