Title: DoMore comms with a POM ethernet option
Post by: scottsutton on November 13, 2020, 07:32:46 AM

I am using a BX-DM1E-18ED23 PLC for a new application. The C-More Touch screen will communication via the built-in Ethernet port. If I purchase the BX-P-ECOMLT POM Module and add it to the PLC can I use this port to connect my PC to and program the PLC AND the HMI? In other words, can I set the IP address scheme on the POM so that they exist on the same network? Does it support this type of comms?

Thanks,
Scott Sutton

It does not work as a router or switch.  Your PC can talk talk to the PLC, but not the C-more connected on the other Ethernet port.  You will need a switch.
