Chapter 5 Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation
Use the SD Card to Set the IP Address of the Controller
You can use an SD card to set the IP address for a CompactLogix 5370
controller. If you use the SD card to set the IP address, it eliminates the need
for software to complete this task.
These requirements apply when using the SD card to set the IP address on a
CompactLogix 5370 controller:
• A project must be stored on the SD card.
• The project that is stored on the SD card is configured with the Load
Image parameter set to On Power Up.
For more information on how to use the SD card, see Chapter 12, Use a Secure
Digital Card on page 297.
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.
The IP address of the CompactLogix 5370 controller is automatically
configured at power-up as long as you have configured an IP address, stored
the program onto a controller, and set the SD card to the Load Image
parameter set to On Power Up.
The option to set the IP address of a CompactLogix 5370 controller via an SD
card at power-up is only one part of the process to load an entire project to
the controller from the SD card.
Use this option carefully. For example, the SD card can contain a desirable IP
address as part of an undesirable project, for example, a project that is older
than the project currently used on the controller.
