New to Automation Direct systems. Have a EA9-RHMI (with EA-ECOM module for extra ethernet port on RHMI) and a CLICK PLC. How do I connect these and development PC?

    If all of the devices in question are Ethernet devices then use a switch.

    Make sure the IP Addresses on each of the intended interfaced devices are on the same subnet.

    The EA-ECOM and the C-More built-in Ethernet should be on DIFFERENT subnets. Therefore, only one of these ports should be on the same subnet as the PLC.

    Finding the valid IP Address range for your subnet can be found easily on an online subnet calculator.
