Trying to connect to second Ethernet port on Controller

  • Hello,


    I have a R-30ib controller and I am trying to connect to the second Ethernet port with my laptop but am having difficulty. The connection is just between my laptop and the controller. I am able to connect to the first port no problem but now the first port has a plc connected to it so I have to use the second port. Could someone possibly help explain what I am missing here and why it is not working?


    Thanks,

  • Having you been cycling power or doing the INIT anytime you make changes? If you don't do one or the other after a change it wont recognize the change. To get to INIT just press next on the screen where you go to change the address then IIRC F3 will be INIT, press it and then select YES when you get they yellow pop-up box. Its a lot quicker doing this than cycling power everytime.

    FYI, I have found on numerous occasions, that the "init" does not work and a power cycle was still needed
