Telnet PLC Session

Hello,

I want to establish a connexion with my PLC through telnet but it didn't work.

First, I activated Telnet then I did this command:

telnet 192.168.1.20 502

but I Had this error:

command not valid
 
Hi salwa1215,

What PLC (Brand and type) you are trying to connect using telnet? Is your PLC configured as a Telnet server and supported Open Socket
Functionality/application, and are you already know what is port number?

Please more details.

From your Telnet command format, I guess you are trying to test the
connection from your PC to PLC that act as a Modbus Server which is usually use port no 502.

If your are failed and get message such as Telnet is not a valid command, you will need to enable in your Windows:

Step 1: Click on Start Button, then on Control Panel. In Control Panel click on Programs.

Step 2: On the next screen, choose "Turn Windows Features On or Off"

Step 3: On Windows Features list, scroll down until you find Telnet Client. Check Telnet Client and hit OK

If you are failed and got message such as "Could not open connection to the host, on port 502: Connect failed", please check if your network cabling is fine, or if there is a firewall on your computer which is blocking calls on port 502, or if there is a Modbus server with port 502 running on your PLC

Hope this help
Ikhtiander

Try adding a ":" after the IP address and before Port of 502, no spaces 20:502.
