ECShell engineering software
Manual – ECC-DFC field bus controller
Starting ECShell
If you have carried out the standard installation of ECShell, the program can be
selected using “Start\All Programs\Industrial Software\ECShell”. If you chose a
different storage location during the installation, start “ECShell.exe” from there.
When you start ECShell for the first time, a window like the following one is dis-
played, with deactivated status values and empty parameter check boxes.
Regardless of whether you have to change the IP address of the PC in order to
adapt it to the subnetwork that has already been configured, or whether you
change the auto configuration master of the subnetwork in order to adapt it to a
subnetwork address, a connection with the auto configuration master must al-
ways be established.
Use of the network help program
The “Discover” function allows the PC to search for any modules of the fieldbus
controller that are physically connected to the network, independently of the IP
address settings of the PC or the modules.
