ControlCare Field Controller: Commissioning and Configuration

Hauser
IP Address
Field Controller is normally configured from a workstation connected into the control system
backbone. You will require a unique IP address to set it up.
Warning
The use of IP addresses is strictly controlled. Usually your system administrator will be authorised
to allocate unique addresses. Assigning an unauthorised address to a Field Controller may result in
conflicts within your system and the failure of the associated devices!
Since the system can be accessed and manipulated through the various Field Contoller tools, it is
advisable to control access both to the workstation and the folders in which the configuration is
stored. Always make a back-up of the project.
Technical improvement
Hauser reserves the right to make technical improvements to its software and equipment
at any time and without prior notification. Where such improvements have no effect on the
operation of the equipment, they are not documentated. If the improvements effect operation, a
new version of the operating instructions is normally issued.
