How to change the CPU IP Address pragmatically

[curtharrington1]

Hello,

   I would like to change the CPU IP Address via code, not HMI.  It looks like General.CPU IP Address is the only way to view the address but it is read-only.  Is there a way to accomplish this or should I be using Panel IP instead?

IP addresses in UniStream generally are not something you can change from ladder code.  I'd send this question to support@unitronics.com.

Hi @curtharrington1 and @Joe Tauser,

You can use the "Load INI Config" ladder element to set IP and communication settings of the PLCs, please follow the Help Example.

I am not able to get the "Load INI Config" to work. Could someone provide a working project that uses this element. I have tried every combination of Folder and Filename parameters I could think of and it returns either "-2: Internal error - contact support" or "-3: .ini file not found". The file is on the SD card and I've tried several different folders on the SD.

UPDATE: Looks like it's the "Config.ini file". Now I'm getting "-27 = Network syntax error". Can I get the network syntax documentation. The file I have made currently giving this error is:

[Version=100]
[NETWORK_PANEL]IPAddress=192.168.1.123

Hi SamProg,
Syntax is:

[Version=100]
[NETWORK_PANEL]IpAddress=10.1.30.23
