Establish ethernet connection between HMIST6500 and M251

[jhonut]

Hello,

I'd like to communicate between HMIST6500 panel and TM251MESE PLC. As driver, in EcoStruxureOperator Terminal, I've chosen Schneider Electric-SoMachineNetwork where I set the PLC IP address (192.168.44.10).

In Machine Expert Logic Builder I'm using Generic_EtherNet_IP_device (I'm not sure is the right one). I've set panel's IP address (192.168.44.2) but a red triangle is shown. 

What am I missing? Are there any other settings I should make in order to be able to have communication between devices?

Another question would be how to address a variable in ESOT through ethernet? For example, if I want to set, from HMI, a value for %MW20, how it should be addressed?

Hi @jhonut ,

I have made this video of how to connect the M2xx with an HMI in EOTE (EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert):

I believe this is going to help you.

Best regards,

@LeTomas , many thanks for your reply! Though I have one question. How can I have access to https://schneider-electric.app.box.com/ ? I think this kind of videos should be accessed by everyone who's using Schneider software tools. Once again, thank you for your time and solution!

Have a great day!
