Objectives:

Set Wago PLC IP addresses using Wago BootP and Internet Explorer.

 

Tools:

Laptop with MS Internet Explorer and Wago BootP Server installed.

Straight CAT-5 Ethernet cable (if networked via a hub or switch)

Crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable (if direct connection to the PC)

List of PLC MAC identification codes

List of PLC IP addresses for the project

 

Overview:

This document is intended to be used as a guideline for setting the IP address of one or more Wago PLCs either individually or networked in a system.

 

Procedure:

1. Obtain the MAC identification codes from each PLC in the system.
1. Locate the MAC identification numbers from the side of each processor and record them in a spreadsheet.

2. Modify the IP address of the laptop for connection to the network.
1. Open Network Connections from the Control Panel.
2. Right click on Local Area Connections and choose Properties.
3. Double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

 

 

4. Select “Use the following IP address” and modify the IP address and Subnet mask as in the following figure.

 

e.       Click on the OK button.

f.       Click on the Close button in the “Local Area Connection Properties” window.

 

3. Edit the BootP text file with the MAC information.
1. Open the Wago BootP Server.
2. Click on the Bootptab button. This will open the text file.

3. Edit the lines of the text file that will assign the IP addresses. Refer to the list of IP addresses specific to the project for the PLC names and IP addresses. 

Below is an example:

 MCC1:ht=1:ha=0030DE00E356:ip=192.168.31.110:

 PLC name:      PLC1

MAC ID:        00:30:DE:00:E3:56

IP Address:     192.168.31.110

 

4. Save settings, select File>Save.
5. Close the file, File>Exit.

    4.  Connect the laptop.

1. Connect the laptop to the network switch using a CAT-5 straight cable if a network is available.
2. Connect the laptop to the PLC processor using a CAT-5 crossover cable if a network is not available. 

5. Start the BootP server.
1. Click the Start button on the BootP server.

6. Apply power to the PLC and allow the BootP server to assign the IP address.
1. Apply power to the PLC and allow the PLC to boot.
2. After the BootP server has recognized the PLC MAC ID, the server will assign the IP address and the server window will appear as follows:

 

3. Click on the Stop button.

 NOTE:

Continue only if the IP address is to be saved in the PLC if the power is cycled.

 

7. Open Internet Explorer and browse to the PLC homepage.
1. Start Internet Explorer and type the PLC address in the address bar.

Example:   http://192.168.31.110

 

8. Configure the PLC to not accept BootP commands, this will cause the IP address to be retained after the power is cycled.
1. Select Port on the homepage. This will cause a login screen to open.

 

2. Enter “admin” as the username and “wago” as the password and click the OK button.
3. Uncheck the BootP check box as shown below and click the Submit button.

 

 

4. Close Internet Explorer.

9. Set the Real Time Clock.
1. Select Clock from the webpage window.
2. Enter the Time in the format shown and click on the Submit button.
3. Enter the Date in the format shown and click on the Submit button.

10. Test the IP settings.
1. Cycle power on the PLC.
2. Open Command Prompt. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
3. Type the ping command and Enter.

               Example:   “ping 192.168.31.110”.

               d. If the settings have been successfully saved, the PLC will reply as in the figure below.
