Hi everyone , iwas able to find the plcnext through the ethernet wire connection, but i can’t find the plcnext throughWi-Fi, (yes i turn on either the Wi-Fi or lan one at time), any suggestionsor settings that i should add . Im using laptop with windows10 and plcnext 2021.6 firmware
When you say „find the plcnext“, do you mean: 1. find the PLC in the Search window in PLCnext Engineer? 2. Connect to the PLC from PLCnext Engineer? 3. Open an SSH connection to the PLC from a Windows command prompt? For (1), please check: - the correct adapter is selected in the drop-down list in the Project → Online Controllers window. [attachment]2021-09-08_8-59-53.jpg[/attachment] - the WiFi device is a Layer 2 device. The DCP protocol used to discover PLCnext Control devices is a layer 2 protocol, so cannot be routed. - If these don’t work, you could try assigning the required IP address to the PLC using the direct cable connection, and then switch to WiFi for programming. For (2), please check: - the correct adapter is selected in the drop-down list in the Project → Online Controllers window. - The IP address of the PC’s WiFi adapter is in the same subnet as the PLC. For (3), please check: - The IP address of the PC’s WiFi adapter is in the same subnet as the PLC.
