10.2.5.1
IP address and subnet mask
The MC6 motion controller is factory-set to DHCP server at network jack 0. If a DHCP server
cannot be found on the network, after some time, the device switches to the alternative network
setting with the following, fixed IP address:
§
IP address: 192.168.3.10
§
Subnet mask: 122.255.255.0
If you want to disable the search for a DHCP server on the network upon startup, configure a
fixed IP address. This makes it faster to connect to the motion controller through
AutomationControlSuite after a restart.
Two batch files are stored on the desktop of the target system and enable you to change easily
between the DHCP server and a fixed IP address. The batch files contain the "Commit and
Restart" command required for this. The configuration can be individually adjusted.
