Determining an unknown IP address

If the IP address of a connected SIWAREX module is unknown, it can be determined using
the program "Primary Setup Tool". The program is included in the configuration package
(Page 213).
Install the program "Primary Setup Tool". When started, the program can determine the
Siemens devices present in the network.
The MAC (Media Access Control) address can be read on the front of the SIWAREX
module. Every device has an MAC address which is unique worldwide.
The IP address can be determined from the identified MAC address. The Primary Setup Tool
also allows the IP address of a SIWAREX module to be set/changed.
Additional information on the Primary Setup Tool can be found in the associated manual.

Setting up a network

Several SIWAREX modules can be connected together in a network via a switch. Via the

connect a common Operator Panel.

Online parameter assignment

To switch to online mode, connect the PC to the SIWAREX module using an Ethernet cable.
Set the IP address of the SIWAREX module in the communication menu.
You can change all parameters in the SIWAREX module in online mode. The message
window shows the current contents of the message buffer of the SIWAREX module. The
current process values are displayed in the "Online" column.
For test purposes, you can send various commands to the SIWAREX module. Differences
between the online/offline data are marked in red by SIWATOOL. This affects both the
associated data record and the individual parameter.
