CTI 2572-A Installation and Operation Guide V1.3

Other EEPROM Update Methods

In addition to the manual methods of updating EEPROM, it is automatically updated when one of the
following occurs:

•

New parameters are obtained from the PLC using the PLC Start option,

•

New parameters are obtained from a DHCP server using DHCP startup option.

2.11. Module Checkout

If functioning properly, the 2572-A will respond to an ICMP Echo Request message known as a

ping.

Using a PC on the local network, open the Command Prompt window and type:

PING

IPaddress

where

IPaddress

is the IP address of the module in dotted decimal format.

For example, PING 192.168.177.55 would be used to ping a module with the IP address shown
above. If the module does not reply, refer to CHAPTER 8. TROUBLESHOOTING.
