10. Troubleshooting
Turn ON power of PLC.
Is POWER
LED ON?
Is LINK
LED ON?
Two seconds after
FX
2NC
-ENET-ADP is
turned ON
Check the cable connection between
FX
2NC
-ENET-ADP and PLC.
Check if FX
2NC
-ENET-ADP and HUB are
connected correctly.
Check if power of HUB is ON.
Are FX
2NC
-ENET-ADP
and PLC connected
correctly?
SD LED:ON
RD LED:OFF
Connect
cable
correctly.
Check Ethernet
parameters.
For details, refer
to "7. Parameter
Settings for
FX
2NC
-ENET-
ADP".
Parameters
are read
correctly
from PLC.
Is communication

Set 0 to D8120.
Turn ON power again.
Check if PLC and PC
are connected
correctly.
Execute PING
command for IP
address set to PLC.*
Any response?
1) Check again IP address set to PLC.
2) Confirm that network address in PLC
matches network address in PC.
3) Confirm connection of Ethernet
between PC and PLC.
Confirm that TCP port number set in GX
Developer or MX Component matches TCP
port number set in PLC.
[Reference]
The PING command confirms confirmation whether the communication
between Ethernet devices using the IP address of TCP/IP is possible.
Execute the PING command from the personal computer connected to
Ethernet, and check whether the FX
2NC
-ENET-ADP sends a response.
Refer to the PING command described below.
Executing the PING command
Open the MS-DOS prompt (command prompt in the Windows2000/XP).
In the example parameter settings in Section 7.3, the IP address is set
to "192.168.0.110".
PING 192.168.0.110
