Setting up communication
1. Ri
ght-click on the Ethernet icon and select the New Module… command.
✓
The Select Module Type dialog box opens.
2. Select the SIG200 on the Catalog index card.
✓
The Module Properties [module name] dialog box opens.
3. Enter a name (freely selectable) in the Name field and the IP address defined for
the SIG200 in the IP Address field.
✓
In the Module Definition area, the default connection Exclusive Owner (100) is shown
as Connections. This is instance 100 of the assembly object.
Changing the instance of the assembly object
1. Click on Change... if you would like to change this instance.
2. Select e.g. Exclusive Owner 101.
3. Under Size, select the data format UINT-16.
Checking communication
The data received by the control from the SIG200 can be displayed in order to
check that communication between the control and the SIG200 is working cor‐
rectly.
1. In the Controller Organizer, open the Controller Test Setup, Controller Tags folder.
2. In the Name column of the Controller Tags, open the node with the name previously
entered for the SIG200wi.
7.1.1.4 IP address of the SIG200
The IP address of the SIG200 can be assigned as follows:
•
Sta
tic allocation
•
Via BOOTP
•
Via DHCP
Static allocation
Using t
he TCP/IP object, a fixed IP address can be configured via the control. To do so,
an initial connection must be established via the default address (192.168.0.1).
Assigning the IP address via BOOTP or DHCP
If your control has a BOOTP or DHCP server, you can assign an IP address to the
SIG200 via this server.
1. Start up the BOOTP/DHCP server (usually in the Start menu of your PC/notebook
under Rockwell Software, BOOTP-DHCP Server, BOOTP-DHCP Server).
✓
The SIG200 is displayed as a node in the program window of the BOOTP/DHCP
server; its MAC address is also displayed, but not its assigned IP address.
2. Double-click to open the SIG200 in the BOOTP/DHCP server.
3. In the IP Address field, enter a valid and available address and click OK.
4. Click on Clear History.
✓
After a while, the SIG200 is displayed with the entered IP address under Request
History, as well as under Relation List.
Freezing the assigned IP address
NOTE
The pr
ocedure below will allow you to ensure that the SIG200 retains the IP address
assigned via DHCP, even after a restart:
1. Deactivate the DHCP function in the SIG200, by setting attribute 3 of the TCP/IP
interface object to 0. You can do this in the Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP server, for exam‐
ple, by clicking the Disable BOOTP/DHCP button.
