Assigning the IP address for the controller

The procedure for assigning the IP address is essentially the same in PC Worx and
PC Worx Express for all Inline controllers described in this user manual.
By default, the Inline controller has no preset IP address. Initial setting of the IP address can
be carried out with the PC Worx/PC Worx Express software manually via the serial inter-
face, using the DCP protocol, or by means of a BootP server. The IP address can be
changed later with the PC Worx/PC Worx Express software via the serial connection, Ether-
net, or the DCP protocol.

Dynamic Configuration Protocol (DCP)

The Inline controllers support the DCP protocol from firmware version 4.20 or later and
from PC Worx version 6.30.767 or later (part of the AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite
1.81 including AddOn V1).
The IP address is assigned via the DCP protocol in the PC Worx/PC Worx Express software
via the "Device Details" window:
• Select the "IP Settings" tab.
• Enter the IP address of the Inline controller.

vices.
