5 Configuration and startup
5.2 Reading the MAC addresses
Install the EDS file for the module variant used with the aid of the hardware
or network configuration tool of your controller manufacturer. After the
installation, the modules are available in the hardware catalogs as a “General
Purpose Discrete I/O” device.
5.2 Reading the MAC addresses
Each module has a unique MAC address assigned by the manufacturer that
cannot be changed by the user. The MAC address is printed on the front of
the module.
5.3 Setting the network parameters
The 3 rotary encoding switches on the front of the LioN-P modules allow you
to set the operating mode for using or maintaining network parameters such
as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The LioN-P module can
be assigned a static IP address by setting the last octet through the rotary
code switches.
Alternatively, by resetting the rotary code switches, it is possible to obtain the
required network parameters through DHCP or BOOTP. In this case it should
be noted that the selected operating mode is read in only after restoration
of the power supply. If changes to the network parameters are made during
operation – using the web server, for example – it is necessary to restart the
module to apply them.
Factory setting of the static network parameters:
D
IP address: 192.168.001.001
D
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.000
D
Gateway address: 000.000.000.000
Please note that a fixed IP address is required for using QuickConnect.
Using the rotary code switches, the following settings are possible for LioN-P
modules:
