Software Configuration
Editing the Configuration File
The 3000/06 Node Processor must be configured correctly, before the user application program is fully
deployed. The 3000/06 Node Processor is shipped either with a default IP address (89.89.89.89) or as
marked on the chassis.
1. Ensure that redundant Node Processors are turned off.
2. Use the Project Tag Database Manager (PTDBM.exe) and configure the default IP or the factory
configured IP address(es).
3.
Ensure that the PC’s network interface is configured in the same IP domain as the 3000/06 Node
Processor. Issue a ping command from the PC to the configured IP address to verify connectivity.
If there is no response from the controller, set DIP SW2-1 (or DIP SW2-3) on the Node Processor
card (see Figure 2) in the ON position; remove Ethernet cables on ports J2, J3 and J4; and turn on
the Node Processor. This will put the 3000/06 Node Processor into Bootloader mode, which stops
executing any user application logic and communicates for configuration changes over the default
IP address 89.89.89.89.
4. Run the Node Configuration program (RTPNC.exe) and select the device created in step 1.
5. Right click on the file name VIK2K1.CFG and select Upload from the pull-down menu. (Uploads
and downloads are password protected, so you will need the download password to upload the
configuration file. The default password is “rtp”.):
6. Configure the Node Processor parameters and click the Download button to write the configuration
to the Node Processor. Enter the password when prompted (Uploads and downloads are
password protected, so you will need the download password to download the configuration file.
The default password is “rtp”.).
