Setting IP address on X20CP3684

[Hashmith_Rajcoomar]

Good day,

I have just received a brand new X20CP3684. I am trying to set the IP address but I cant seem to find the device when I got to online and setting and start the search. NB : the PLC does have a CF card but I have turned it to onboard for now.

I have tried setting my adapter properties to 192.168.0.250 and subnet to 255.255.255.0 . As I have seen a YouTube video and it worked there.

Can anyone advise as to where I might be going off.

Kind regards

Hi @Hashmith_Rajcoomar ,

I have seen a YouTube video and it worked there.

Thanks Valerio

Regarding your question everything matches the above except for the AR version mines is 6.0.2.

Hi,

if possible you should update to the latest version of Automation Studio (6.7) which includes the latest version of PVI (the “online communication driver” for Automation Studio).
Because as I remember, there have been some issues with “browse for PLCs” under certain circumstances in the early versions of 6.x, but I’m not sure in what versions they were fixed and if these are really the cause of your topic (demo license is okay, online communication works with that type of license).
Anyway, to avoid already known topics, please update to the most actual versions.

In addition, he’re the two help links about:

• installation scenarios of PLCs: B&R Online Help
• establishing connection to the target system: B&R Online Help

Best regards!

Hi @Hashmith_Rajcoomar ,
I helped a customer few days ago with similar issue, just different X20CP.

1. You don’t have CF, your project is stored on the internal memory, be sure the selection is on “ONBOARD”:

2. Download the latest AS 6.7, in your case I think you have AS evaluation license so you can’t connect directly to the upgrades online from AS.
   Download the file: V6.0 AR Upgrade (6.7.6_X20CPx68x) | B&R Industrial Automation

3. Install the upgrade:
   Tools > Upgrade … > Local and select the folder with the upgrade:

4. Select the new AR in your prj:

5. Configure Ethernet interface: example with fixed IP at the first step

6. Put your CPU in BOOT mode

Follow this sequence:

7. Build your prj

8. Connect to the CPU:

9. Right click on that and change manually IP address

10. Now transfer your prj

@Note: in case you have other issues, I can’t answer you immediately my flight is almost ready time to leave.
