CP1L - Direct Ethernet Connection

[LD_M]

Hi guys,

I just lost the ethernet direct connection, for my CP1L plc.  I was able to use this connection few days back, but yesterday, I did a network reset on my laptop, since I cannot login on our company's wifi,  I did not know that doing this, will remove the plc ethernet setting / connection.

Today, I could not connect to the CP1l plc, even changing ethernet cables to be sure.

I have read from different post, that I could run again the Omron direct ethernet utility tool, but I could not find it in the folders of the CX-One.  I also looked in the installation folders, but also not available there.  

Is the utility tool available for download? Or I could run it from the laptop, the utility is already installed, together with the CX-One?

I am using W10, 64 bit,  PLC hardware: CP1L-EM ,  Cx_Programmer : v9.7

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

Leo

Hi guys, 

I already activated again the utility.

The direct ethernet utility tool is located in the folder of Communications Middleware Utilities.

I am now online, using the direct connection option.

Cheers.

Hi, 

In your PC, go to the windows logo ( lower left, left click )

>Go to Omron folder

>Communication Middleware Utilities - click open the folder

>DirectEthernet Utility

Run the application.

Hope this will help.

Are you plugged directly from your PC to the PLC? (no switch/hub in between)

Are you selecting the physical ethernet interface on the direct ethernet utility? (sometimes it defaults to a different interface)
