5.5.2 Configuring Ethernet addresses in HW Config
Requirement
For configuration using Industrial Ethernet, SIMOTION D4x5-2 must be provided with an IP
address, the subnet mask, and the router address.
Note
Only one router may be configured.
Procedure
To configure and transfer Ethernet addresses to the D4x5-2, proceed as follows:
1. Open your project.
2. Open HW Config. Double-click the interface to be configured (e.g. X127) to open the
"Properties" dialog box.
3. On the "General" tab, click the "Properties" button of the Ethernet interface. The
"Properties - Ethernet Interface" dialog is displayed.
4. Click the "New" button. The "New Industrial Ethernet" subnet dialog is displayed. In this
dialog box, you can change the name of the new subnet or confirm the default setting
with "OK".
5. The newly created Ethernet subnet is now displayed under "Subnet" in the "Properties -
Ethernet Interface" dialog box and must be selected.
6. In this dialog box, enter the required addresses for "IP Address" and "Subnet". Under
"Router", choose whether a router is to be used. If using a router, enter the router
address.
7. Confirm this dialog box with "OK".
8. Close the "Properties" dialog by clicking "OK".
9. To configure another Ethernet interface, open the "Properties" dialog box of the other
interface and repeat Steps 3 to 7.
10. Save and compile the modified hardware configuration.
11. Load the new hardware configuration to the SIMOTION D4x5-2.
