IP address assignment with DHCP server
1. Disconnect the bus coupler from the power supply UL before changing the positions of switches
S1 and S2.
2. Once you have done this, you can set the address to 0x00.
DHCP mode is active after the bus coupler has been restarted.
After you have set the address 0x00 on the bus coupler, you can assign it an IP address.
The procedure to assign an IP address to the bus coupler depends on the PLC configuration
program or your DHCP program. Please see the operating instructions for the program for more
information.
The following example is based on the Rockwell software RSLogix 5000 with BOOTP/DHCP server.
The PLC configuration and assignment of IP addresses can also be performed with a different PLC
configuration program or DHCP program.
Danger of injury if changes are made to the settings during operation.
Uncontrolled movement of the actuators is possible!
Never change the settings during operation.
The bus coupler uses its MAC address to contact the DHCP server. You can use this address to
identify the bus coupler. The MAC address of the bus coupler can be found on the rating plate.
