Moli (Customer) asked a question.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Productivity PLC. I'm trying to set the IP as shown in the attachment, but as soon as I click ok, the error window pops up. I use 10.20 IP's and the same gateway almost all the equipment in the plant, never have this issue before. Could someone suggest what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Moli (Customer)
Have you tried to "ping" the address to ensure it is not used?
Just a thought,

Hi Gary, I'm sure that IP is not beeing used. And the cable is directly plugged into the PLC from my PC, which is not connected to the network.
Entering an IP Address reserved for specific functions will cause an error dialogue box to be displayed upon project compile. The CPU's IP Address must be between 1.0.0.1 and 223.255.255.254 (Excluding 10.20.x.x, which is used for the Remote I/O network). This applies to all Productivity CPUs with dual Ethernet ports. Productivity CPUs with a single Ethernet port, like the P1-540 and P3-530, do not have this restriction. This is discussed in Help Topics P192, P250, P270, P282, and P299.
