5.5.3 Reading out IP and MAC address
Requirement
To read out the IP and MAC addresses, the following requirements must be met:
● SIMOTION D4x5-2 is wired.
● You have assigned the communication parameters.
● You are online.
Procedure
The IP addresses and MAC addresses of SIMOTION D4x5-2 can be displayed as follows via
SIMOTION SCOUT.
1. Right-click the module.
2. Select "Target device" > "Device diagnostics" in the context menu.
The addresses are displayed as follows, e.g. for SIMOTION D4x5-2 DP/PN:
X127 P1 (PN/IE)
● Active MAC Address: 08-00-06-73-25-3E
● IP address: 169.254.11.22
● Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
● Standard gateway: No router used
X130 P1 (PN/IE-NET)
● Active MAC address: 08-00-06-73-25-3F
● IP address: 192.168.2.1

As an alternative, you can determine the IP address as follows:
● By selecting "Project" > "Accessible nodes" in SIMOTION SCOUT or
● By calling "Target system" > "Ethernet" > "Edit Ethernet node..." in HW Config and
browsing to "Online accessible nodes"
● Using the system function _getIpConfig
Note
The MAC address is listed on the nameplate on the front of the module.
