4.4. Rotary Switch Settings
4.4.1. Rotary Switches Default Setting
By default, the value on the three rotary switches are set to 000.
4.4.2. Set a Node Address with Rotary Switches
About the Rotary Switch Settings
TIP
Use Windows Calculator (or similar application) to convert between hexadecimal
(hex) and decimal (dec).
- The default node address setting is 000.
- The node address values are set in hexadecimal (hex).
- Minimum value is 00.
- Each node address may only occur once in the network.
- The node address is read from the center rotary switch x16 to the front rotary switch x1.
- The rear rotary switch is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the Communicator is disconnected from power.
Procedure
Use a screwdriver to change the rotary switch position.
Ensure that the rotary switches engage correctly.
Example 1. To set the node address 12 hex = 18 dec
To Do Next
Connect the Communicator to power. See Connect to Power (page 13).
Result
The set node address is active as soon as the Communicator is powered on.
NOTE
Changing the address settings on the rotary switches during operation is
ignored. For a new address to take effect, power cycle the Communicator.
4.5. Connect to Power
CAUTION
Ensure that the power supply is turned off before connecting it to the
equipment.
IMPORTANT
Using the wrong type of power supply can damage the equipment. Ensure that the
power supply is connected properly and of the recommended type.
Power port
4.6. Security Switch
When the security switch is in its locked position, the Communicator built-in
web interface can not be accessed and the Communicator can not be configured
using the built- in web interface. Network specific parameters, configured via
the PLC is still available.
To Lock and Unlock the Security Switch
Use a pointed object, such as a ballpoint pen.
- To lock the security switch, push the toggle towards the Communicator front.
- To unlock the security switch, push the toggle towards the Communicator back.
Security Switch Status LED
When the security switch is in its:
- locked position, the security switch status LED turn solid green.
- unlocked position, the security switch status LED is turned off.
4.7. Lock the Cables
To strain relieve the cables, place a cable tie in the holder and lock the cables.
4.8. DIN Rail Demount
Before You Begin
IMPORTANT
Be careful when removing the Communicator from the DIN-rail. If not removed
properly, the DIN rail locking mechanism and the product cover can break.
Have a flat-blade screwdriver, size 5.5 mm, available.
Procedure
Remove the Communicator from the DIN Rail:
-
Insert the screwdriver into the Communicator DIN rail locking mechanism.
-
To unlock the Communicator DIN rail locking mechanism, turn the screwdriver clockwise.
-
Hold the screwdriver in the DIN rail locking mechanism while you unhook the Communicator from the DIN rail.
Configuration
5.1. Connect to PC and Power 
- Connect an Ethernet cable between the Communicator configuration port and your PC.
- Connect the Communicator to a power supply.
5.2. Find the Communicator on Your PC
The Communicator default IP address is 192.168.0.10.
To be able to access the Communicator built-in web interface.
On the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface, set a static IP
address within the same IP address range as the Communicator IP address.
To access the Communicator built-in web interface, ensure that port Port 80
TCP is open in your PC Windows Firewall.
Note that when you change to a static IP address on your PC, internet access
is lost.
Option 2 | Change the IP address on the Communicator configuration
port
Use the software application HMS IPconfig to find and change the IP address on
the Communicator configuration port, to one within the same IP address range
as the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface.
