Shutdown Connected Components Workbench and RSLinx Classic software.Note: Controller must be in PROG mode and you cannot be online to apply settings change. To establish communications with a controller configured to use a random default address follow this procedure: This allows someone to direct connect a PC Ethernet port to the Micro820 or 850 Ethernet port, browse for the Micro820 or Micro850 and connect using Connected Components Workbench™. If a DHCP server doesn’t respond with an IP address within 15 seconds, then the controller will assign itself a random IP address (like a Windows PC). The out of box configuration for the Ethernet port is for DHCP (no BOOTP support).
The steps below discuss how this is done, and how to connect to it using the temporary IP address. Upon power-up of a new Micro820, the controller will assign itself an IP address if a DHCP server is not present. The Micro820 does not have a USB port to connect to, so connecting to it straight out of the box may not seem possible without knowing the IP address. RSLinx will automatically, populate the driver (“Facility, Ethernet”) and the device under it.This Tech Files post answers how to assign an IP address to a Micro820® controller when it is new out of the box. If you do not see your device, right click on your driver (for our example it is “Facility, Ethernet”), and select “Remove” from the context menu. If you are successful (and if you have the correct EDI files installed), you will see your device (as shown below). Note that Station 63 is reserved for Driver.įor this demo, we will be adding one device with IP address of 110.14.11.50. If you have more than one device to add, click on “Add New” button to add more stations. ofr our example, our driver is call “Facility, Ethernet”.Įnter the IP address of your device (PLC, Panelview, etc.), and once you are done, click on “Apply”. Right-click on your driver and select Configure Driver from the context menu. I have a RSLinx Classic Lite but this procedure works for all version of RSLinx. This article will show you how to do just that. That is when you have to manually intervene and enter the IP address. However, it is common (sometimes) that not all devices are detected (automatically) due to older EDI driver or for what ever “temperamental” issue RSLinx might be having at that time. After you add a new driver and close the add driver popup window, the RSLinx will automatically start populating the “device” in a tree on the left-hand side of the RSLinx application.
