Vision 1210 default ip on power cycle

[jfinn]

Hello,

I have a V1210 which defaults to 127.0.0.1 ip address on power cycle. The project settings ip is 192.168.1.4 and the ip in the card init block is 192.168.1.4. I've tried downloading using serial connection to make the parameters stick, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have ideas?

Regards,

Justin

Can you post a copy of the program??

Is the IP set from directly or indirectly (from MI's)in the ladder??

Any chance that the battery needs to be changed??

We need to see your program in order to offer any help. At the very least we'll need to see a screen capture of the relevant ladder rung with the Ethernet Card Initialization FB and with it opened up to see the details.

FYI - the project settings in VisiLogic have no effect on the PLC.

+1 to both Cam & Flex's suggestions, especially Flex's FYI.  IP setting is not obvious at first in Help...you might be thinking as Flex says.  Use the Search tab in Help to find TCP\IP: Socket Init and other mentions. These will steer you in the right direction to having the socket set in your program.

cheers, Aus

Hi,

It is not recommended to use power-up IP configuration (without Ladder configuration). It may be wrong for many reasons.

Preferred to set configuration from Ladder. This will warrant right configuration.

By the way, in PLC Tools & Applications there is support for DHCP for Enhanced Vision  controllers.
