In this dialog, you can modify the network settings of the selected device and enter an IP address
manually:
1. Highlight the CPX-CEC-... root module in the PLC configuration and select the "Network configuration"
tab.
Click the "Search network" button. An automatic search for compatible devices is then run. Located
devices are displayed in the list on the "Network configuration" tab.
2. Highlight the device whose network configuration you would like to modify on the "Network
configuration" tab.
3. Now undertake the network settings: open the "Network Configuration" dialog using the "Change
settings" button.

Check "Enable DHCP" if you are using a DHCP server.
–
Otherwise, enter the desired IP address, netmask and gateway address manually (see example
–
below).
4. Then click "OK".
The DHCP server assigns the IP address in the network and the modified settings are transferred to
the device. The CPX-CEC-... then reboots automatically.
5. Click the "Search network" button again. The device with the new network settings is detected again
and displayed in the list on the "Network configuration" tab.
6. Select the required CPX-CEC-... from the list and click the "Set as active PLC" button.
The IP address is adopted in the CoDeSys communication settings.
Example of possible settings:
IP address of the PC: 192.168.2.1
–
Netmask: 255.255.255.0.
–
IP address of the first Festo CoDeSys controller: 192.168.2.50 (default)
–
IP address of the second Festo CoDeSys controller: e.g. 192.168.2.51 (must be configured)
–
If the search for the CPX-CEC-... within the network is unsuccessful (e.g. if the device is located in a
remote subnet e.g. VPN, remote maintenance, etc.), the CPX-CEC-... can be added manually. The only
requirements are that the IP address of the device is known and that communication with the device is
actually possible via TCP/IP.
