Theo Posted Thursday at 02:10 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:10 PM I am unable to access my plc over internal network because I have the wrong PLC name. Everything else is fine. I have a V280-18-B20B, with O/S V5.04 (B13). I can enter the plc set up mode, but not sure where to find the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM When I enter Info mode, I get the following main menu options: System, Function Block, Hardware Configuration, Signature Log, TCP/IP and Data Type. I'm thinking I have a different software revision level. Which one of these menus will get me to the screen that shows the PLC name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted Friday at 02:17 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 02:17 PM So whoever is in the same bind that I was, here is how you find the PLC name. Go into Info mode (press and hold i button, enter 1111 for password) Use the up/down arrow keys to find the menu "Data Types" and press "Enter" key Scroll down until you get to "System Dwords" and press "Enter" key Using the up/down arrow keys, go to address 9 The value at this address is your PLC name. In my case it was 10 numbers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted Friday at 03:27 PM MVP 2023 Report Share Posted Friday at 03:27 PM That's actually the unique PLC ID, not the name. The name is where Cam says it is. Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
