In case of connection through an ordinary network switch the controller will receive an
unknown IP and will be «lost» in the network – the selection field will remain empty when
“Refresh” button is pressed. The way out is using the «Default address» button. The button
restores factory network settings to all THC devices in the network. If it is required to assign
the THC a different address from the factory setting, then it is necessary to select «Fixed
address» position of the switch.
In «IP-address» field enter 192.168.10.XX (xx – address different from the PC’s and PLCM
controller’s address), subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The field «Default gateway» may be left
blank. After pressing the button «Set address» the controller will store the changed settings.
Then press Refresh button. The module to be connected to the network will be determined in
the device selection field.
In PUMOTIX CNC system the IP address changing is done in the THC controller selection
menu.
