Change the IP Address with an SD Card
You can use an SD card to change the IP address for a Compact GuardLogix
5370 controller when the controller power is cycled. If you use the SD card to
change the IP address, then you do not need software to complete this task.
These requirements apply when using the SD card to change the IP address on
a Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller:
• A project is stored on the SD card.
• The project that is stored on the SD card includes another IP address for
the Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller than the IP address currently
in use on the physical controller that houses the SD card.
• The project that is stored on the SD card is configured with the Load
Image parameter set to On Power Up.
• Power is cycled to the controller with the SD card installed.
Additional requirements apply for safety projects. See Chapter 13
and the
GuardLogix 5570 and Compact GuardLogix 5370 Controllers Safety
Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM099
.
Load Controller Firmware
You must download the current firmware before you can use the Compact
GuardLogix 5370 controller.
To load firmware, you can use any of the following:
• ControlFLASH software that installs with Logix Designer application
• AutoFlash that launches through the application when you download a
project and the controller does not have the matching firmware revision
• SD card (catalog numbers 1784-SD1 or 1784-SD2) with an image
stored on the card
IMPORTANT To set the IP address from an SD card, software is not required during the
power-up process. However, you must have previously saved the project to
the SD card.
IMPORTANT Do not interrupt a firmware upgrade while it is in process. Firmware upgrade
interruption can cause the firmware revision of the Compact GuardLogix
controller to revert to its out-of-the-box revision level, that is, 1.xxx.
