1.3 Wiring Instructions
(1) Wire
VC-eNET mainly extends the main module of VC1 series to the left, and can provide one channel of Ethernet communication function. In order to
ensure that your communication is normal, it is recommended to use shielded network cable for network data transmission, without short circuit,

dislocation and poor contact; The length of the cable should not exceed 100m, otherwise the signal will be attenuated and normal communication will
be affected. The following specifications are recommended, and the network cables are shown in Table 1-1:

Instruction
Signal indicator
PWR power indicator: When the main module is correctly connected, the indicator remains on;
RUN: Running indicator: the indicator flashes when the system connection is normal;
ERR: Error indicator light: the light is on when the communication is abnormal;
Expansion module interface
Expansion module interface, does not support hot plug
3 Module Features
1. VC-eNET is mainly used for VC1 series main module to expand one channel of Ethernet communication port.
2. VC-eNET only supports slave station, and supports up to four master stations to communicate with the module.
3. As the left expansion communication module of VC1 series, the VC-eNET module can be connected to at most one module on the
left of the PLC main unit.
4 Communication configuration
VC-eNET extended communication module parameter configuration needs to be configured in AutoStudio programming software. Such as IP address,
subnet mask, gateway address, etc.
Programming software configuration tutorial
1) New project, in the Project managerCommunication configEthernet
Configure Ethernet as required. This example is the default IP address.

Figure 4-1 Ethernet Configuration
2) After clicking the configuration, click "OK" to complete the communication parameter configuration.
3) The VC-eNET extended Ethernet module is only a slave station, and the IP address can be configured according to the needs.
