Setting a user-defined IP address (optional)

INFORMATION

If necessary, switching between default address and user-defined IP address is performed via the integrated DIP switch.

The MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER reads the IP addresses to be used for communication from the SewPlcIp.xml file. This file is located on the OMH memory card in the "System" directory.

To change the IP addresses, do the following:

  1. Access the file system on the MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER via the engineering interface or using a card reader and navigate to the "System" directory.
  2. Open the SewPlcIp.Example.xml file for editing in an editor.
  3. In the file, replace the currently specified IP addresses with the ones you require.
  4. Save the file and close the editor.
  5. Rename the edited file into SewPlcIp.xml.
  • The new values are applied and used the next time the MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER is started up.
  • After the first start-up after editing, the file can be deleted or renamed back to SewPlcIp.Example.xml.
    INFORMATION: When the file is deleted, the default address (192.168.10.4) is not set again automatically.
