Modify NJ/NX Controller IP Address

8. Modify NJ/NX Controller IP Address

8.1.

In the Multiview Explorer, expand "Configurations and Setup", expand the "Controller Setup", and

double-click "Built-in EtherNet/IP Port Settings". The IP address will be shown for the current project,

as shown below.

8.2.

Change the controller to the desired IP address. Be sure that the controller IP address is on the same

subnet as the ID-40 readers.

8.3.

The controller IP address will not be changed until SYSMAC Studio goes online with the controller and

the project is synchronized (downloaded). The project download will be covered in the upcoming

section, Download Project to Controller.

ID-40 EtherNet/IP Data in NJ/NX Controller

Storing ID-40 EtherNet/IP Data in NJ/NX Controller

To establish communications between an EtherNet/IP device and the controller, a global variable needs to be

created to store the data in the ID-40 EtherNet/IP Input and Output assemblies. A custom data type formats the

data into smaller logical groups to make the data easier to use.

There are no user tasks in the following two sections, "Custom Data Types" and "Global Variables", as these items

are already included in the project. These sections are included to provide conceptual information you can apply

to other projects using EtherNet/IP to communicate with ID-40 readers.
