Editing IP addresses and communication connections

5.15.6.1

Overview

This section describes how you can, from your HMI device, change the IP addresses of
controllers and other HMI devices in the subnet of your HMI device and adapt the associated
communication connections accordingly. This gives you the ability to create a project,
transfer it to multiple HMI devices and then adapt the respective controller connections
without changing the project.
If you change the IP addresses of other devices in the subnet of your HMI device, the
following steps are required:
● Update IP address and device name; see section
"Assigning IP address and device name (Page 160)"
● Update communication connection; see section
"Configuring a communication connection (Page 162)".
The following functions are also available:
● A scan function to list the HMI devices and PLC in the subnet.
● Filter function for the scan results
● Check assignment of IP addresses and device names for HMI devices and PLCs.
● Project IP addresses and device names for HMI devices and PLCs can be restored.
