TCP/IP Software Configuration

You can configure TCP/IP settings for the controller in a SPEL+ program using the SetNet command. You can also configure settings from the [TCP/IP] tab on the [Setup]-[System Configuration] dialog.

To configure a TCP/IP port

  1. Select the TCP/IP port you want to configure from [Setup]-[System Configuration]-[Controller]-[TCP/IP].

  2. Enter the IP address for the controller or PC that you want this controller to communicate with.

    The controller does not support DNS. You must specify an IP address for the host you are communicating with. You cannot specify a name for the host.

  3. Enter the TCP/IP port number. This must be the same port number that is used on the host device. It must be different from any of the other TCP/IP port numbers used for the other TCP/IP ports.

  4. Change the other settings as desired.

  5. Click the [Apply] button. The new settings are saved.

  6. Click the [Close] button.
