DXMR90-4K IO-Link Master
3.2.2 Configuring the DXMR90-4K Controller
This section will walk you through the method of setting up the DXM Configuration Software and communicating with a
connected DXM device. Version 4 of the DXM Configuration Software supports multiple DXM device models, each of which
incorporates different features.
As soon as a DXM model is connected to your computer, the software automatically detects the correct model and loads the
appropriate screens. You may also manually select which model of DXM you are configuring if you intend to create a
configuration file without connecting a device. This ensures that the interface and the configuration file use the correct
features.
Not all screens are available for all models. To change to another model of DXM, go to the Select Mode screen and use the
drop-down list to select another model. If the active configuration is incompatible with the selected model, you will be
prompted to either proceed and wipe out the active configuration or cancel the model change and preserve the configuration.
When the Select DXM Model drop-down is set to DXMR90-4K, a new network discovery table is displayed. Click Scan
Network for DXMs to detect DXM devices on the host computer's network. Discovered DXMs are listed in the network
discovery table. Double-click any row entry to connect to that DXM. If the DXM's IP address is already known, the standard
TCP connection option is available below the network discovery table.
The default IP address of the DXMR90-4K is 192.168.0.1. To connect to the device, you need to be on the same subnet. You
can do this by accessing the control panel on your PC and accessing your Network Connections properties. It is important to
ensure that the adaptor you are connected to is within the 192.168.0.* subnet when you first connect to the DXMR90-4K IO-
link master.
