 Topic: CM043

The following devices support Do-more Ethernet Symbolic Addressing driver (all Do-more PLC require OS ver. 2.0.2 or later):

  • H2-DM1E
  • H2-DM1 with H2-ECOM1-- (ver. 4.0.1808) communications module
  • T1H-DM1E
  • BX-DM1E
  • BX-DM with the BX-P-ECOMLT communication module

C-more Protocol Manager Settings

  1. Do one of the following:
  • Click the Protocol Manager button on the Home tab
    — or —
  • Click the Protocol Manager button on the Setup tab
    — or —
  • from the Navigation window, click the Function tab, click Setup and then select Protocol Manager.

  1. From the Protocol Manager window, click the Device name on the tree to the left.
  • The Device Setup window opens.
  1. In the PLC Protocol field, select AutomationDirect Do-more Ethernet Symbolic Addressing (Full Memory).

When you select a different PLC Protocol than the one currently in use, the warning Message shown below appears.

  • Click Yes to accept.
 

Note: Connection through another panel is not available when using the Do-more driver.

Panel Manager
Field Description
PLC IP Address The DO-more CPU network IP address. To find the IP address for the Do-more PLC, use the NetEdit software utility or the Do-more Designer software to scan the network for Do-more PLC. Both are discussed below.
Password If the Do-more CPU is configured to use a password, the C-more project needs to store this password to communicate with the Do-more. It is necessary to enter the password into this field.
Entries (0-10) The C-more panel sends a request to the Do-more CPU. If the CPU does not reply within the specified "Timeout Time," the C-more panelsends the request again. Once the retry count (specified in this field) is reached, the C-more panel displays a PLC Timeout error on the screen.
ACK Timeout Time (1-255) (in 100ms units: The amount of time (in 100ms units) that the panel waits for an ACK reply after sending a request. The ACK simply says that the Do-more CPU received the request and is processing it. After the Timeout Timer expires, it retries.
Command Timout Time (1-255) (in 100ms units) The amount of time (in 100ms units) that the panel waits on the Command reply after sending a request. After the Timeout Timer expires, it retries.
Poll Time (0-30000 msec) The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the panel waits in between each request.
 

Note: You must configure the Do-more password to allow access privileges for other devices. These privileges at a minimum must have at least Read Data — RD and Write Data — WD selected to work correctly with C-more. See the image below.

Find the Do-more Network IP Address

You need the IP address of the Do-more to enter into the C-more project. To find the IP address for the Do-more PLC, use the NetEdit software utility or the Do-more Designer software to scan the network for Do-more PLC.

NetEdit Software Method to Find the Network IP Address

After you download and install NetEdit (it is also installed with the Do-more Designer software), open the software and browse the network. The Do-more CPU and IP address are here as shown below. Use this IP address in the C-more Panel Manager Device configuration show later.

Do-more Designer Software Method to Find the Network IP Address

Once you connect to the Do-more CPU with the Do-more Designer software, click the PLC drop-down menu and select System Information or click the Info button on the toolbar.

  • The System Information window opens displaying the IP address settings at the bottom of the Info window.
