ENET Remote Connection Step 1
Remote Connection Step 2
1) Remote Connection step 1 (when using RS-232C cable)
For Remote Connection step 1, GMWIN should be offline. In this state, select [option] from project menu, the [option dialogue] box appears as follows. Select the ‘connection option’ tab.
[Figure 9.2.2] GMWIN Remote Connection option selection (1) Method of Connection
This selects the method for local connection. [Figure 9.2.3] shows the local connection by using RS-232C. For the communication port, select the port currently used by the PC. In the case using Ethernet, it is described in the next clause. When using another connection mode, please refer to the user’s manual related to each communication module.
(2) Depth of Connection
This is to determine whether to select local, remote step 1 or remote step 2 for PLC connection. Select ‘remote step 1’.
[Figure 9.2.3] GMWIN Remote Connection step 1
(3) Network type
According to step 1 connection network, select GLOFA Fnet/Rnet, Mnet, Enet, Fdnet, Cnet, FEnet, or FDEnet. In [Figure 9.2.3], select GLOFA FEnet as step 1 connection is done by FEnet.
(4) Base Number
This designates the base no. where the FEnet I/F module is installed for Remote Connection.
station PLC where step 1 connection is to be arranged in network 1. [Figure 9.2.3] shows the IP address (219.114.62.34) of the PLC B module.
(6) Slot
This shows the position of the communication module that is connected to network 1 in the local PLC connected by RS-232C. In [Figure 9.2.3], it is required to select ‘0’ because the FEnet installed in PLC A is in the ‘0’ slot.
From this status, select ‘OK’ and select ‘Connect’ from the online menu.
When step 1 connection is completed, it has the same connection status as if a local connection is made by moving the RS-232C cable. Therefore all functions in the online menu are available (except in the case when the PLC does not match the CPU type of the currently open project).
Point
1) Notices in Remote Connection
For Remote Connection, use a program suitable for the CPU type. if the CPU type does not match, only limited functions are available and program uploading/downloading and monitoring are not available.
2) Remote Connection step 2 (when using RS-232C cable)
For a Remote Connection step 2, select connection step/remote step 2 in the project / option / connection option screen before connecting. [Figure 9.2.4] shows the example of a step 2 connection that is to be connected to a Fnet I/F module of PLC E via a FEnet I/F module of PLC B station.
For remote step connection, select project/option/connection option and select ‘remote step 2’.
The following dialog box appears:
[Figure 9.2.4] GMWIN Remote Connection step 2
From the above dialog box, all items are the same except remote step 2 which is described below:
(1) Network Type
According to Remote Connection step 2 network, select either GLOFA Fnet/Rnet, Mnet, Enet, Fdnet, Cnet, FEnet, or FDEnet. The network of step 1 connection and step 2 connection are not related to each other. [Figure 9.2.4] step 2 connection is connected by Fnet. Therefore, step 2 should be set by GLOFA Fnet.
module station no. 5.
(3) Slot
It indicates the position of the module in the local station of PLC (PLC B) in the network 2.
In [Figure 9.2.4], fill in the slot no. with ‘0’ because the Fnet module’s station no. is ‘3’, and it is installed in the ‘0’ slot in the PLC B.
If step 2 connection is completed, this means that the logical connection status the same as if it was connected by the moving the RS-232C cable to PLC E. Therefore, use all functions of in the online menu are available.
3) Remote Connection step 1 in a PLC connected to Ethernet
If a GMWIN acting PC is connected to a PLC and a network, Remote Connection step 1 by Ethernet is available without connecting RS-232C to the PLC CPU.
[Figure 9.2.5] Remote Connection step 1 through a PC
[Figure 9.2.5] shows an example of a PC and PLC connection by Ethernet. In this case, it is possible to connect to all PLCs by network in GMWIN without using RS-232C. In this case, local connection is omitted and Remote Connection step 1 is carried out for all the PLCs.
In order to carry out direct Remote Connection step 1 by Ethernet, select project/option/connection option and change the setting as shown in the dialog box below:

3) Direct Remote Connection step 2 in the PLC connected to Ethernet
In [Figure 9.2.1], if the GMWIN acting PC is connected to a PLC by network, Remote Connection step 2 by Ethernet is available and the method is the same as remote step 1. An example of setting the connection option is shown below:
Point
1) Notices in the remote step 1/step 2 connection
(1) If the currently open project in GMWIN does not match with the CPU type that is connected by step 1 and step 2, it is not allowed to use the following menu items :
A) Program and write each parameter B) Program and read each parameter C) Monitor
D) Flash memory E) Link Enable setting F) I/O information
G) Enforced I/O information H) I/O SKIP
(2) In the case of GMWIN programming by connecting remote step 1 and step 2, open the relevant project of the station to connect and execute the Remote Connection.
(2) Remote Connection is supported only up to step 2. Remote Connection more than step 2 is not possible.
