IOLM Hardware Installation
Use the following subsections to install the hardware and verify operation.
•
Setting the Rotary Switch (Section 2.1.1)
•
Connecting to the Network (Section 2.1.2)
•
Connecting the Power (Section 2.1.3)

Mounting the IOLM (Section 2.1.4)
Note: Refer to Section 5.2
for information about connecting IO-Link or digital
devices to the ports after you program the network information using the next section.
2.1.1
Setting the Rotary Switch
You can use the rotary switches under the configuration window on the IOLM to set the lower 3-digits
(8 bits) of the static IP address (192.168.11.XXX).
For example, the default IP address is 192.168.11.202. When the rotary switches are set to 000, the
final segment of the IP address will remain at 250. However, if the rotary switches are changed to 022,
then the IOLM module will obtain the IP address 192.168.11.22
If the rotary switches are set to a non-default position, the upper 9-digits (24 bits) of the IP address are
then taken from the static network address. The switches only take effect during startup, but the
current position is always shown on the Help | SUPPORT page.
Using the rotary switches to set the IP address may be useful in the following situations:
•
A permanent method to assign IP addresses while setting machines for a special application
where a PC or laptop is not available.
•
A temporary method to assign IP addresses to several IOLMs so that they do not have
duplicate addresses, making IP address configuration easier when using the web page. After
using the web page to change the IP address, reset the rotary switches back to 000.
•
An emergency method to reset the IOLM to factory defaults, so that software can be used to
program the appropriate IP address, and then reset the switches to 000.
Note: If you set the network address using the rotary switches, the rotary switch setting overrides the
network settings in the web interface when the IOLM is initially powered on or after cycling the power.
Note: The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
Changing the Default Rotary Switch Settings
Use the following steps if you want to change the default rotary switch settings.
1.
With a small flathead screwdriver, gently pop open the configuration window.
2.
Gently swing open the switch window from the top to the bottom, allowing it to pivot on the
hinge on the bottom of the window.
