5.3 Connect controller and Engineering PC
A communicaon link from the engineering PC to the controller is required to commission the
controller with the »PLC Designer«. This communicaon link must be wired.
NOTICE
Unstable LAN connecon due to the use of incorrect cable types.
The LAN connecon may be interrupted.
▶
Exclusively use cables of the CAT5-S/FTP type or beer.

If you would like to change the IP address, you will nd more informaon in chapter 4Staon
name and IP conguraon ^ 74.
How to establish a physical connecon between the controller and the engineering PC:
1. Plug the network cable into the engineering port X16 of the controller.
2. Use the network cable to connect the controller to the PC.
The controller is connected to the engineering PC.
A ping command can be issued from the console to test the availability of the controller using
the current IP address 192.168.5.99 or the newly congured address.
