Chapter 5 Communication Connections
Ethernet Host Name
Micro800 controllers implement unique host names for each controller, to be used to identify
the controller on the network. The default host name is comprised of two parts: product type
and MAC address, separated by a hyphen. For example: 2080-LC50-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where
xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC address.
The user can change the host name using the CIP Service Set Attribute Single when the
controller is in Program/Remote Program mode.
Configure CIP Serial Driver 1. Open your Connected Components Workbench project. On the device configuration tree,
go to the Controller properties. Click Serial Port.
2. Select CIP Serial from the Driver field.
3. Specify a baud rate. Select a communication rate that all devices in your system
support. Configure all devices in the system for the same communication rate. Default
baud rate is set @ 38,400 bps.
4. In most cases, parity and station address should be left at default settings.
5. Click Advanced Settings and set Advanced parameters.
