Ping appears to work, but controller isn't viable by the PC.

I'm still at it. Got an Ethernet crossover cable and tried it. The PC would show unknown network and diagnostics said no valid IP address. Picked up a used router this morning for $4(yeah, I went over budget) and hooked it up. PC recognizes the router and shows it as a network, but the controller is...

Did you just remove the driven side vari drive pulley and reuse the existing shaft fitted with a new drive pu...

So I got my cable to connect to the PLC today. I know about 0% of how programming them works, but looking at this diagram, it looks like it activates the speed up solenoid, slow down solenoid, and spindle brake. And nothing else. Am I correct?
