Signal Allocation menu (Options)

    Hello

    We bought used BX200 with E-series controller. As far as I can assume, the controller don't have any options installed.

    I plan to connect it with external PLC via Ethernet. My desire was to use the Ethernet/IP protocol, but I don't see the Aux. 0608 (Signal allocation) menu to configure it. Also when I go to Aux. 0897-6 to check it out, the Signal allocation line is there and greyed out.

    The question is: Does it means that I don't have required option for this type of connection and I have to use base TCP Client/Server feature?

    Yes, you will need to contact your local Kawasaki distributor and ask them for the option to be installed.

    They may charge you for this.

    Depending on the controller, you can choose between ethernet/ip software option (no additional hardware required - uses ethernet port no 2) or the hardware option where a 1TJ board and Anybus ethernet/ip would also be required.
