Hello,

I am sorry but I do not really understand your inquiry.

Did you upgrade the firmware of the buscontroller ?

Why did you try to access it via ModbusTCP ? The X20BC0088 is an EthernetIP buscontroller which is a totally different protocol

Could you please clearify what you did and what you would like to do ?

hello ,

when i try to access it through ip address directly , i access the web page but everything is blank . so i found the web page to upgade the firmware saying the same thing , an to be able to access the configuration you need to use ModbusTCP. I tryied also with automation studio to acces the data but still did not fiind the way.

my need :

  • change ip adress/ port
  • acces the modules parameter spacially the X20DO4529 (i have one relay that goes down for no reason every 2months ) I looked inside the documentation that they might be a parameter to change to be able to save the last state and keep the relay close (last state)

How can i do to be able to access the data / configuration?

I did : 0#FE to reset and then 0#FF to have configuration in default .

Adress is ok

First you should update the firmware. This can be done via the webserver or a so called "service tool” which you will get at your responsible B&R office

This tool upgrades the firmware without any webserver or similar.

After this the webserver should be accessable and it then shows the attached IO modules, etc…

ok , i’m going to try that.

thanks a lot .

Just to re-iterate what Oliver is writing, although I am a bit later getting to this topic.

You won’t connect to the X20BC0088 and view/edit configuration with the ModbusTCP toolbox. The goal of using the ModbusTCP Toolbox on the BC0088 is to update the firmware without using the webpages (which is broken with very old firmware). Once you update the firmware, then you can use the webpages for configuration of the BC0088 as described in the User’s Manual. The instructions to update the firmware are in my post (linked in your original post).

Thanks, yes, i updated the firmware and now i have access to the webserver, But seems that i did not find what i was looking for >> be able to access the configuration of the modules i wanted. So i wrote an other topic : X20DO4529 configuration on X20BC0088 bus controler - Ask Questions / Controls & Vision - B&R Community.
