Assigning Device Name and IP Address
In order to communicate with the newly-added IO-Device, it is necessary to provide it with a unique Device
Name and a unique IP Address. This is performed using the Discovery and Configuration Protocol Tool (DCP).
Figure 28: Properties of IO-Device
As shown in Figure 28, you will need to drill down to the Properties of the highlighted IO-Device. This is done by
double-clicking in the IO-Device of interest
.
Doing so produces the
Inspector
form, shown in Figure 29.
Figure 29: Inspector Form for IO-Device
Within the Inspector Form:
•
use the
Device Number
field to provide a unique Device Number for this IO-Device,
•
use the
Device Name
field to provide a unique Device Name for this IO-Device, and
•
use the
IP Address
field to provide a unique IP Address.
Place the cursor in the corresponding data entry box and key in the desired values.
Save the PME project when done.
