Objectives:
Set Wago PLC IP addresses using Wago BootP and Internet
Explorer.
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.
- Obtain the MAC identification codes from each PLC in the system.
- Locate the MAC identification numbers from the side of each processor and record them in a spreadsheet.
- Modify the IP address of the laptop for connection to the network.
- Open Network Connections from the Control Panel.
- Right click on Local Area Connections and choose Properties.
- Double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
- 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.
- Edit the BootP text file with the MAC information.
- Open the Wago BootP Server.
- Click on the Bootptab button. This will open the text file.
- 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:
MAC ID: 00:30:DE:00:E3:56
IP Address: 192.168.31.110
- Save settings, select File>Save.
- Close the file, File>Exit.
4. Connect
the laptop.
- Connect the laptop to the network switch using a CAT-5 straight cable if a network is available.
- Connect
the laptop to the PLC processor using a CAT-5 crossover cable if a
network is not available.
- Start the BootP server.
- Click the Start button on the BootP server.
- Apply power to the PLC and allow the BootP server to assign the IP address.
- Apply power to the PLC and allow the PLC to boot.
- 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:
- Click on the Stop button.
Continue only if the IP address is to be saved in the PLC if
the power is cycled.
- Open Internet Explorer and browse to the PLC homepage.
- Start Internet Explorer and type the PLC address in the address bar.
Example: http://192.168.31.110
- Configure the PLC to not accept BootP commands, this will cause the IP address to be retained after the power is cycled.
- Enter “admin” as the username and “wago” as the password and click the OK button.
- Uncheck the BootP check box as shown below and click the Submit button.
- Close Internet Explorer.
- Set the Real Time Clock.
- Select Clock from the webpage window.
- Enter the Time in the format shown and click on the Submit button.
- Enter the Date in the format shown and click on the Submit button.
- Test the IP settings.
- Cycle power on the PLC.
- Open Command Prompt. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
- Type the ping command and Enter.
d. If the settings have been successfully saved, the PLC will reply as in the figure below.
