A
second
way
to
change
the
IP
address
is
to
use
the
G-API
command
G_COMMON_ETHERNET_IPADDRESS_SET. The new IP address is effective after a restart.
It is necessary to change the static IP address if you want to operate several
G CAR 6282
Multibus Con-
trollers or other
GÖPEL electronic
devices (such as
basicCAN 61xx
) in the same network. In this case,
always connect only the device whose IP address is to be changed and change it. Make a note of the new
IP addresses and the associated serial numbers if you need this information again later. If all devices
have different IP addresses, they can be operated together on the same network.

•
Download the latest firmware update file from

Open the
GÖPEL electronic Hardware Explorer

Change of the Transceiver
If it is necessary to replace a transceiver, observe the general rules for avoiding electrostatic charge. A
correctly positioned plugging in the transceiver must be realized.
Please make sure that
all
hardware installation work is done while the system is off! The power supply
should be disconnected.
To change your transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the four screws on the underside of the device and carefully remove the bottom plate. You now have
direct access to the transceiver slots.
2. Then pull the appropriate transceiver away from the motherboard without tilting it.
