I am setting up a Ethernet Network with several PLC's a HMI and a Yaskawa/Motoman DX200/MH24. I need to use IP addresses similar to those I already use in the plant. I have been trying to find where in the DX200 I can change the IP address but so far have only been able to view the ip address (192.168.255.001). It is probably in a setup screen or parameter I am overlooking. I would appreciate it if someone could please help me figure out how to make this change.

Didn't you get the CD with the info ?
Search internet for DX200 Instructions for internet function1) turn on controller holding the main menu key
2) system, security and enter 99999999 or 00000000 ( i never remember) to go to Maintenance mode
3) setup, option function then select network, detail
4) i think the rest is obvious
5) when you are , press enter, then the controller is going to ask to modify, it might ask you few time
6) reboot -

Thanks Fabian and Maximus
I tried the procedure you outlined and it worked great. I looked through the collection of CDs that came with my robot and didn't find a DX200 OPTION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ETHERNET FUNCTION CD. I have the DX200 HS ETHERNET SERVER FUNCTION OPTION CD because I purchased that option to be able to interface with a PROFACE HMI but the procedure for changing the IP is not in that manual. Does the DX200 OPTION FOR ETHERNET FUNCTION CD usually come with a DX200 or do you have to order a Ethernet Function Option to get it.Thanks Again
