Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation Chapter 4
Use the SD Card to Set the IP Address of the Controller
You can use an SD card to set the IP address for a CompactLogix 5370 controller.
Using the SD card to set the IP address eliminates the need for software to
complete this task.
These requirements apply when using the SD card to set the IP address on a
CompactLogix 5370 controller:
• A project must be stored on the SD card.
• The project that is stored on the SD card is configured with the Load
Image parameter set to On Power Up.
For more information on using the SD card, see Chapter 12, Use a Secure Digital
Card on page 297.
To set the IP address from an SD card, software is not required during the
power-up process. However, you must have previously saved the project to the
SD card.
The IP address of the CompactLogix 5370 controller is automatically configured
at power-up as long as you have configured an IP address, stored the program
onto a controller, and set the SD card to the Load Image parameter set to On
Power Up.
The option to set the IP address of a CompactLogix 5370 controller via an SD
card at power-up is only one part of the process to load an entire project to the
controller from the SD card.
Use this option carefully. For example, the SD card can contain a desirable IP
address as part of an undesirable project, for example, a project that is older
than the project currently used on the controller.
