Step 8: Install Remote HMIs.

See Installing and configuring remote HMI software on page 25.

Step 9: Verify communication between Remote HMI and CPUs.

See Chapter 5.2. [dk: there is no section 5.2?]

6.1 Setting IP addresses for remote communication

66.1.1 HMI IP address

To change the HMI IP address

1.For the HMI touchscreen computer, login to the Operating System as Administrator. See Administrator access to the operating system on page 61 for details.

2.Open the Control Panel, and then open the Network Connections dialog box.

3.Double-click the Local Area Connection 1.

4.In the TCP/IP Properties tab, set the new Local HMI IP address. Set the subnet mask to a value compatible with the segment on which it resides.

By default the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0. The default touchscreen HMI IP address is 192.168.1.1 as delivered. The default IP address for each additional touchscreen HMI is incremented by 1 in the right-most address.

6.1.2 CPU IP address

To change the CPU IP addresses

1.On the Main Menu, click User Settings.

2.Click HMI Preferences.

3.Click Communication.

4.Select either CPU A or CPU B by clicking the appropriate button.

5.Enter the new IP address. The IP address format is X.X.X.X where X is from 0 to 255.
