S5-LAN++ Short Instruction
S5-LAN++ Short Instruction
Hardware
The S5-LAN++-module will be plugged direct on the S5-PG-port and will use the +24V of the PLC.
If the PLC don’t have +24V (for e.g. S5-90/95/100U) the device will be usable with external +24V
with the green connector.
The both square LED’s in the Ethernet-Connector shows the user the link-state of the network.
Green LED: 100 Mbit/s
Amber-coloured LED: 10 Mbit/s
S5-LAN-Manager
After pressing the button „search in local network“ the user can see in the table all found S5-LAN-
modules.
Hint:
When there is no module found, please deactivate the „windows firewall“ on your PC and repeat the search. The
modules have by factory-setting DHCP and when there is no DHCP-server in the network, the modules gives
them itself an ip-address from the 169.xxx.xxx.xxx-range. These ip-address-range is often blocked by the
„windows firewall“.
Configuration of the device
Select an entry of the table and press the button „settings“. Then you got following dialog:
After pressing the “OK”-button, the data will be stored in the S5-LAN++-module and the module is
restarting up.
Reset
If the user has configured a wrong ip address and is not able to reconfig the module with the S5-
LAN-manager, so the module can be set to the factory default. For this, you have to press with a
straighten paper clip through the whole on the switch for 2 seconds. After this 2 seconds the LED
begins for a fast flashing. Now you can brake pressing the switch. The module makes an restart and
will start up with the configuration “DHCP/auto id” and “auto subnet”. After lighting of the round
green LED the modul is ready for working.
Driver PLC-VCom
For the communication with a Step5-programming software a virtual com-port is needed. This com-
port is called PLCVCom. You have to install it on your PC. When you communicate with this
virtual com-port, the selected product will be driven.
The virtual com-port is only then visible, configurable and usable, when the state of the
PLCVCom is “connected”. This means, a usable product is responsive.

Please make sure to update your drivers before using our products.
You have to work with more PLC-devices, but no pleasure to switch on/off? No problem,
you connect a device of the AG-Switch-family to the PLC-devices and your PD/PC and
you will be able to communicate to both PLCs. The selection which PLC you make for
AG-Switch-I via toggle switch and for the AG-Switch-II via 24V-controll input.
