PLC-5/20E, -5/40E and -5/80E, Controller Front Panel

Additional System Components
Along with your controller, you need the following components to complete a basic system.

New Features

The controllers contain an RJ-45 connector for the Channel 2 communication port.

The controllers provide additional Channel 2 port configuration and status:

• BOOTP, DHCP, or Static entry of IP address
• Auto Negotiate speed selection
• Full/Half Duplex port setting
• 10/100-speed selection
• Email client functionality
• Enable/Disable HTTP Web Server
• Enable/Disable SNMP functionality

To see or activate the new configuration and status features:

1. Open or create a project in RSLogix 5 software, version 7.1 or later.
2. Click on the Channel Configuration menu. You see the Edit Channel Properties menu.
3. Click on the Channel 2 tab.

BOOTP, DHCP, or Static Entry of IP Address
As shown in the following screen capture, you can select between a static or dynamic network configuration.

• The default is Dynamic Network Configuration Type and Use BOOTP to obtain network configuration.
• If you choose a dynamic network configuration, you can change the default BOOTP to DHCP.
• If you choose a static network configuration type, you must enter the IP address.

Similarly, if you have a dynamic network configuration, DHCP or BOOTP assigns the controller’s hostname. With a static configuration, you assign the hostname.

When you create a hostname, consider these naming conventions.

• The hostname can be a text string of up to 24 characters.
• The hostname can contain alpha (A to Z) numeric (0 to 9) and may contain a period and minus sign.
• The first character must be alpha.
• The last character must not be a minus sign.
• You cannot use blank spaces or space characters.
• The hostname is not case-sensitive.

Auto Negotiate Speed SelectionIn the Edit Channel 2 properties box, you can either leave the Auto Negotiate box unchecked, which forces the port setting to a particular speed and duplex port setting, or you may check the Auto Negotiate box, which lets the controller negotiate a speed and duplex port setting.

If you check Auto Negotiate, the port setting lets you select the range of speed and duplex settings that the controller negotiates. The default port setting with Auto Negotiate checked is 10/100 Mbps Full Duplex/Half Duplex, which lets the controller negotiate any of its four available settings. The following table lists the order of negotiation for each setting.

Setting| 100 Mbps Full Duplex| 100 Mbps Half Duplex| 10 Mbps Full Duplex| 10 Mbps Half Duplex
---|---|---|---|---
10/100 Mbps Full Duplex/Half Duplex| 1st| 2nd| 3rd| 4th
100 Mbps Full Duplex or 100 Mbps Half Duplex| 1st| 2nd| | 3rd
100 Mbps Full Duplex or 10 Mbps Full Duplex| 1st| | 2nd| 3rd
100 Mbps Half Duplex or 10 Mbps Full Duplex| | 1st| 2nd| 3rd
100 Mbps Full Duplex| 1st| | | 2nd
100 Mbps Half Duplex| | 1st| | 2nd
10 Mbps Full Duplex| | | 1st| 2nd
10 Mbps Half Duplex Only| | | | 1st

The unchecked Auto Negotiate box and corresponding port settings are shown below.

The checked Auto Negotiate box and corresponding port settings are shown below.

Email Client Functionality
The controller is an email client that sends an email triggered by a message instruction via a mail relay server. The controller uses standard SMTP protocol to forward the email to the relay server. The controller does not receive email. You must enter the SMTP Server’s IP address into the text box as shown in the following dialog.

The controller supports login authentication. If you want the controller to authenticate to the SMTP server, check the SMTP authentication box. If you select authentication, you must also use a username and password for each email.

To create an email:

1. Create a message instruction similar to the one below.
   • The destination (to), the reply (from), and the body (text) are stored as strings in elements of separate ASCII string files.
   • If you want to send an email to a specific recipient when a controller application generates an alarm or reaches a certain condition, program the controller to send the message instruction to the destination of the email.
2. Verify the rung.
3. Click on Setup Screen. A dialog appears like the one below.
   • The three Data fields display the string values of the ST file element addresses.
4. To send an email, enter the appropriate information into the Data fields and Username and Password, if Authentication is enabled.

Examine the Error Code (denoted in Hex) and Error Description areas within the General tab to see if the message was successfully delivered.
