Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation
Chapter 4
Set the IP Address of a
Controller
You must set the IP address of a CompactLogix 5370 controller when the
controller powers up for the first time, that is, when commissioning the controller
for the first time. You are not required to set an IP address each time that power is
cycled to the controller.
You can use these tools to
set
the IP address of a CompactLogix 5370 controller:
•
Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server
•
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
•
RSLinx Classic software
•
Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application
•
SD card
describes how to set the IP address of your CompactLogix 5370
controller on a power cycle during initial installation or after operation has
begun.
IMPORTANT
Each tool has connection requirements to set the IP address of the controller
via that tool. For example, your computer must be connected to the controller
via a USB cable to set the initial IP address of the controller with RSLinx Classic
software or the application.
