Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation Chapter 5
Set the IP Address of a
Controller
You must set the IP address of a CompactLogix 5370 controller when the
controller powers up for the first time, that is, when commissioning the
controller for the first time. You are not required to set an IP address each time
the controller cycles power.
You can use these tools to set the IP address of a CompactLogix 5370
controller:
• Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
• RSLinx Classic software
• Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application
•SD card
Figure 7
describes how to set the IP address of your CompactLogix 5370
controller on a power cycle during initial installation or after operation has
begun.
IMPORTANT Each tool has connection requirements to set the IP address of the controller
via that tool. For example, your computer must be connected to the
controller via a USB cable to set the initial IP address of the controller with
RSLinx Classic software or the application.
