Set the IP Address with
Rotary Switches
This graphic shows the rotary switches on a 1756 EtherNet/IP communication
module. The three rotary switches at the bottom of the module, labeled X, Y,
and Z, can be used for setting the IP address. The rotary switch in the upper
left corner of the module is reserved for future configuration.
At powerup, the module reads the rotary switches to determine if they are set
to a valid number for the last portion of the IP address. Valid numbers range
from 001…254.
