Parameters
7. Closing the Network Configurator
Exit from the Network Configurator.
The next steps are wiring the network and connecting the Network Configura-
tor to the network.
Wire the network, install the actual devices, and set the devices' IP
addresses.
8. Clearing the Devices' Various Parameters
Clear the various parameters stored in the new devices that will be used in
the system.
Refer to ???7-2-10 Clearing Device Parameters.
Before connecting newly added devices to the network, clear the parameters
set in the devices. The EtherNet/IP Unit will restart automatically when the
Unit's device parameters are cleared (reset) from the Network Configurator.
The Unit must restart in order to enable the cleared parameter settings
(default settings). Clear (reset) the device parameters only after verifying that
restarting the Unit will not cause any problems in the system.
9. Changing the Devices' IP Addresses
Set the actual devices' IP addresses. Any of the following methods can be
used to set the EtherNet/IP Unit's local IP address.
• If you want to connect the EtherNet/IP Unit immediately, the default IP
address is 192.168.250.node address. (The node address is set with
the Node Address Setting Switches on the front of the Unit.)
• If you want to set a particular IP address and set (store) that local IP
address in the CPU Unit, set it with the CPU Unit's allocated DM Area
words.
• If you want to set a particular IP address and set (store) that local IP
address in the EtherNet/IP Unit, set the TCP/IP with the Network Con-
figurator.
Refer to ???4-8 TCP/IP Settings.
(1) Before connecting a device to the network, set a suitable IP address for
the device.
(2) When setting the EtherNet/IP Unit's local IP address with the Network
Configurator, connect the Units one at a time, and download the TCP/IP
setting parameters.
The EtherNet/IP Unit will restart automatically when the TCP/IP setting
parameters are downloaded to the Unit from the Network Configurator.
The Unit must restart in order to enable the parameter settings. Download
the TCP/IP setting parameters only after verifying that restarting the Unit
will not cause any problems in the system.
10. Starting the Network Configurator
Start the Network Configurator.
Refer to ???7-2-1 Starting and Network Configurator.
11. Reading the Network Configuration File
Read the network configuration file, which was saved with the completed
design, into the Network Configurator.
Refer to ???7-2-12 Reading the Network Configuration File.
