Required PLC reset at download software when IP settings different

[leen]

Hi,

We using the same software at several machines.

When we have an update we download this remotely.

Then the IP which default in the software will be downloaded into the machine.

While this is not needed, because the machines all have different IP addresses, when can de-select the overwrite.

But still the PLC is reset even when the IP is not changed.

This means in my situation at every upgrade the PLC is reset what gives my some stress while every machine has to be stopped before the update.

 

Why is it not possible to upgrade the software i.e. by using the “only Logic download” where the PLC communication settings are not changed, or you can de-select these before is checking if a reset is required.

 

I hope I do something wrong and someone can help me to download the software on a good way, or otherwise please change this because at other PLC software, i.e. Codesys this is not a case.

 

Thanks  

Leen

I suggest to change the IP address in the software, before downloading, to match the IP address of the unit being upgraded.
