About the H0-ECOM
The H0-ECOM Ethernet Communications module is designed for use on a 10/100 BaseT (twisted pair, copper wire) Ethernet network. The H0-ECOM Ethernet Communications module connects to the network using standard RJ45 modular connectors.
Use the H0-ECOM Ethernet Communications module to share data between two or more DirectLOGIC PLCs or between DirectLOGIC PLCs and a laptop, desktop, or other device. The H0-ECOM Ethernet Communications module provides a low-cost, high-speed Ethernet link for DL05 series, DL06 series, and DL405 series PLC devices.
The front of the H0-ECOM Ethernet Communications module provides status indicators.
OK The H0-ECOM is powered up and functional.
LINK When green, the module is properly connected to the network.
ACT Red or flashing red indicates active network data.
ERR When red, or flashing red, a fatal error has occurred.
You can use a laptop, desktop, or other device with a 10/100BaseT network adapter card installed and NetEdit3 software to configure the H0-ECOM module over the network. You can also use the NetEdit3 software for troubleshooting some communication problems.
The NetEdit3 software utility can be used to set network identifiers (Module ID or IP Address) and upgrade the firmware in the H0-ECOM module.
You can also assign a module ID using the DIP switches on the module. Use the DIP switches if you want the ability to install or change modules without using a laptop, desktop, or other device to set the Module ID.
