2 Establishing the Connection Between PC and XC600
This section describes the necessary steps for connecting the PC to
the XC600 PLC.
the XC600 PLC.
Communication is implemented via an Ethernet connection. The
PC must be equipped with an Ethernet module in order for it to be
connected to the network.

Requirements of the Ethernet module in the PC
• Hardware Interface Standard
– PCI bus specification V 2.1, V 2.2
• RJ 45 plug connector for the Ethernet interface
• Ethernet Standard
• Ethernet Standard
– IEEE 802.3 10 OMSE-T/100 OMSE-TX
– CSMA/CD protocol
– CSMA/CD protocol
Configuring the Ethernet module
The incorporation of the Ethernet module in the PC configuration
is primarily carried out by the operating system. Only a few
settings need to be made. These depend on the operating system
used. The following description is based on the Windows 95 oper-
ating system. The system description provides the necessary infor-
mation when another operating system is used.

First specify the IP (network) address of the module. It must not be
the same as the IP address of the PLC.

e.g. 192.168.119.37.
The IP address consists of four groups with the three-digit decimal
numbers that are separated by a period character. You can enter
numbers from 192.168.119.0 to 192.168.119.255 as the address.
The first three groups must match the default address in the
XC600. The numbers of the last group must be different:
