lesmar96 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 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?

Fernando Castro Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 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.

lesmar96 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thanks so much! I will check that out. I looked in the examples in visilogic, but hadn't found this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
