Delta PLC- DVP 12SE with pc_Communication, Fixed "please check the setting of Ethernet module"

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up communication between your PC and Delta PLC DVP 12SE using Ethernet and other methods. We will address common issues, specifically the "please check the setting of Ethernet module" error, and provide step-by-step instructions on configuring communication settings effectively.

Step 1: Setting Up WPLSoft

1. Install WPLSoft: Download and install the WPLSoft software from Delta's official website.
2. Open WPLSoft: Launch the application.
3. Create a New Project: Start a new project for your PLC model (DVP 12SE).
4. Select Communication Settings:
   • Go to the communication settings menu.
   • Ensure the correct communication type is selected for Ethernet.

Step 2: Configuring Communication Settings

1. Access Communication Settings:
   • Navigate to the communication settings tab in WPLSoft.
2. Set Up the Ethernet Module:
   • Choose the DVPEN01-SL module if applicable.
   • Input the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway as required by your network.
3. Verify Compatibility: Ensure your PLC is compatible with high-speed bus communication.

Step 3: Setting Up DCI Soft

1. Install DCI Soft: Download and install DCI Soft, which is used for monitoring and debugging.
2. Open DCI Soft: Launch the application.
3. Configure the Communication Parameters:
   • Set the same IP address and communication parameters as in WPLSoft.

Step 4: IP Configuration

1. Access Network Settings:
   • Open your PC’s network settings.
2. Set Static IP Address:
   • Manually configure a static IP address that is on the same subnet as the PLC.
   • Example: If the PLC’s IP is 192.168.1.100, you can set your PC to 192.168.1.101.
3. Test the Connection:
   • Use the ping command in the command prompt to verify connectivity.

   ping 192.168.1.100
   

Step 5: Adding IP in Commgr

1. Open Commgr: Launch the Communication Manager software.
2. Add the PLC IP:
   • Enter the IP address of the PLC.
   • Save the settings.

Step 6: Troubleshooting Connection Issues

1. Check Ethernet Cables: Ensure that the Ethernet cables are correctly connected.
2. Verify Module Settings: Double-check the settings in both WPLSoft and DCI Soft to ensure they match.
3. Firewall Settings: Disable any firewall temporarily to see if it’s blocking the connection.
4. Restart Devices: Restart both the PLC and the PC to refresh the network connection.
