Hello The computer does not find the plc. I gave the IP by changing the adapter options in the network and internet settings, although I checked and changed the cable, I searched for the plc in the settings area, but it did not find it. ---

The PLC (and any other device on the Ethernet network) can only be accessed if they are visible to each other. “Ping” is a good command to prove this. ---
