V570 DHCP?

[lesmar96]

Good Day,
From my experience, it looks like the V570 only supports static ip addressing. I was hoping to switch our to DHCP since they do not need a static ip for anything.

But it doesn't look like the V570 supports DHCP. Is that correct or am I missing it?

If you need advanced network functions for this type of PLC, you should probably pay attention to the new service from Unitronics - Unicloud.

And the new product from Unitronics UCR router

you can use DHCP on v570, there is an example that I've used before, and works great, however, I don't recommend DHCP on industrial Networks,  usually, you set the ips for specific devices and you don't want that an automatic IP assignment could break your network.

Where I can I find this example? I'd appreciate it.

Yes, I certainly understand your concern. But we are planning to provide static addresses from the DHCP server rather than on the plc itself.

Thanks so much! I will check that out.

I looked in the examples in visilogic, but hadn't found this site.

I know.... I wouldn't say that Unitronics is the best at maintaining proper documentation.

But to be fare that happens a lot with other brands too, "application notes", "expert knowledge" or however everyone chooses to name  that hidden section with useful information 😂😂
