Configuring One PC and Controller With User-Assigned IP Address To create the network shown above, complete the following steps: 1. Disconnect power from the controller. If needed, install the Omron Adept-supplied CompactFlash that was included with the controller. See the SmartController User's Guide for details. 2. Verify that the controller DIP switch (located on the front of the SmartController chassis) is set to the following: SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 OFF OFF OFF OFF 3. Connect the Omron Adept controller and your PC using the Omron Adept-supplied crossover cable. Optionally, you can connect the PC to the controller using a network hub and two Ethernet cables. NOTE:
DO NOT use the crossover cable with a network hub. 4. Install the ACE software on the PC. See Installing the Software on page 28 for details. 5. Determine the IP address and subnet mask of your PC by looking at the TCP/IP properties of Net- work Settings in the Windows Control Panel. Alternatively, you can determine the IP address of your PC by using the "ipconfig" command in the Windows Command Prompt window. See your Windows operating system documentation for details. 6. Based on the PC’s IP address and subnet mask determined above, define a controller IP address, which will be configured in the next step.:
If the PC’s IP address is 192.9.225.80 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the common network number is 192.9.225.xxx. In this case, the con- troller’s IP address should be defined as 192.9.225.xxx, where xxx is a number between 0 and 255 that defines a unique IP address on the network. The subnet mask must be defined as 255.255.255.0. NOTE: If your controller will be connected to your corporate network, you may need to contact your network administrator to obtain a controller IP address. 7. Start the ACE software by selecting Start > Programs > Omron > ACE > ACE from the Win- dows task bar; or, double-clicking the ACE icon on the Windows desktop. The ACE Startup dialog box opens. 8.
On the ACE Startup dialog box, click the Search ( ) icon. The Controller IP Address Configuration dialog box opens. ACE User's Guide, 3.6.x, 18316-000 Rev A Page 33
