Ethernet 

With the Ethernet connection, the internal web pages can be used and the controller can be linked 
to VASP. In order to use the Ethernet connection, an IP address must be assigned to the controller. 
This IP address must be unique on the Ethernet to which the controller is connected. The standard 
IP address for the controller is 192.168.250.1. 

5.1

 

Define IP address 

The IP address can be changed using "VDH IP configurator" (VDH_Conf), which is available on the 
VDH website: 

www.vdhproducts.nl

 

This program can search for connected MC2 and MC3 controllers. The MAC address can be used to 
find the MC2 controller. 

Start the program and select the relevant Ethernet interface. Press 

Scan

 to search for the available 

MC2 and MC3 controllers. All MC2 and MC3 controllers that are found are displayed in a list. Both the 
MAC address and the IP address are displayed. 

 

The  MAC  address  of  the  controller  is  printed  on  a  sticker  on  the  connecting  terminals.  The MAC 
address can be used to select the controller from the list.
