Communications Installation - Connecting the HC900 Controller to a PC with the Designer Software
Revision 19 HC900 Process Controller Installation and User Guide 141
06/14
Step Procedure
9 You may now access any controller on the network for configuration access by assigning Network as
the Port and the respective IP Address as the Address of the controller.
ATTENTION: When multiple controllers are on the network, be careful to check for the correct
IP address of the destination controller prior to download of a new configuration or when
downloading edits to a configuration while in RUN mode. Otherwise, you may inadvertently
download a configuration to the wrong controller.
Setting Up the Controller Network Parameters
See the Designer Software Users Guide, Doc. # 51-52-25-110 or respective HC Designer Help Files for
setting up following network parameters:
• IP Address, Subnet Mask (optional), Default Gateway IP Address (optional)
• Network Name (optionally used in Peer Data Exchange)
• Local Name (optional, user identifier for controller)
• E-mail Server IP Address (required if e-mail alarms are configured)
ATTENTION
This setup will require the controller to be placed temporarily in the Program mode.
After the new network parameters have been downloaded, the controller will conduct
a Cold Start in its transition to RUN. This will cause an initialization if there is a
current configuration in the controller.
