Chapter 2 Installing the Ethernet Interface
The Ethernet Interface will normally transition from the Power–Up State to the Opera-
tional State without entering any other state.
If there is a problem with the Soft Switch data, however, the Ethernet Interface will tran-
sition automatically to the Soft Switch Entry utility (see Appendix C for instructions).
And if you have not previously downloaded a station configuration to the Ethernet In-
terface, the Ethernet Interface will transition automatically to the Loader utility (see Pro-
cedure 4 for instructions). Also, the operator may manually cause the Ethernet Interface
to enter the Field Network Test utility.
Powering-Up the Ethernet Interface
Follow the procedure below to verify that the Ethernet Interface is operating correctly.
1. Power–up the PLC. This will initiate a series of diagnostic tests.
Upon power–up the Module OK LED blinks, On Line and Status OK LEDs are OFF.
2. Observe the local Station Manager screen if connected. If power–up is successful,
then a Station Manager message similar to the following will be displayed, normally
within 15 seconds
