4.2.1 Connecting Your SPA with Intelli-Motion
The SPA with Intelli-Motion utilizes a static IP address for EthernetIP connections. The static IP address can be
configured with the
Configurator
. Following the connection instructions in
, connect the SPA with
Intelli-Motion to the
Configurator
. After connecting, an Ethernet tab will appear in the
Configurator
for Ethernet models
(iSPAXXXX-X-XX-E or -ES). Set the appropriate IP address and subnet mask for your application. IP addresses and subnet
masks that are incompatible with the intended host will prevent the SPA with Intelli-Motion from appearing on the
network. An example setup, to be used with a PLC having an IP address of 169.254.181.15, appears in the image below.
Click the “Send to Actuator” button to save the new network parameters.
Note that the gateway address can be left at 0.0.0.0 for most applications and that THE UNIT MUST BE REBOOTED FOR
THE NEW NETWORK PARAMETERS TO TAKE EFFECT.
After power-cycling the unit, use the appropriate cable to connect the SPA with Intelli-Motion to a computer or controller.
