▶ Select "EA_Network", "POUs", "Configure local ethernet interface",
"NET_SetIPConfig".
▶ Enter the port, the IP address, and the subnet mask as the correspon-
ding parameters.
networkconfig
If you are unable to establish a connection to the device (because you do not
know the IP address, for example), you can use the "networkconfig.templ"
file with a MicroSD memory card or a USB device to set a new IP address for
the XControl's Ethernet interfaces.
Setting the IP address for Ethernet interface ETHx:
Prerequisites: The NW_UPDATE_FROM_USB or NW_UPDATE_FROM_SD
tag must be set to "1".
In the case of XC-104-… and XC-204-… modular PLCs, the device's Ethernet
interface must additionally be activated – please refer to → Section “14.4.3
USB interface activation”, page 141.
▶ Save the "networkconfig.templ" file in a directory on your PC. On the
MFD-Titan, the file will be found in the “
ome“ directory
▶ Edit the file.
▶ Assign a valid IPv4 IP address and subnet mask
For example: ETH1_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.137.248 and
ETH1_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
Notes:
▶ Save the "networkconfig.templ" file as a file named "networkconfig".
▶ Copy the file to the "XC303/update" directory on the MicroSD memory
card/USB device.
▶ Insert the MicroSD memory card into the XControl.
▶ Reboot the XControl and then delete the file from the MicroSD memory
card/USB device.

If the properties for an Ethernet adapter change, all the
parameters need to be completely entered into the file
even if they match the corresponding default settings.
