If you know the subnet, you can use IP Scanner tool to search. Or if you have a system with the same subnet, just check it out from RNRP status.
If you don't know which subnet it belongs to, there is no way.
HyperTerminal can also extract controller information including IPaddress.
Download and run it on PC which has comport.The other end should connect on controller CN4 port.

jobinissac: To connect to controller with HyperTerminal/PuTTY, you still need the TK212 :)
monitor the network traffic on the port that is connected to controller using wireshark. you will find the ABB controller's mac ID and associated IP.
There is nothing special about the TK212. Cisco Switch programming lead does a nice job of replacing it and rolls up nicer, then put in COM4 and log with putty / terminal emulator. Otherwise you're left with scanning all IP addresses
In RNRP monitor you may find the IP address of all the controllers. Please give a try. It will help if u know the IP address of other controllers in the same network.

Hi BolBol,
just in case:
1) AC800M OPC server might still show the IP address
2) CBM might still have the IP address in the HW settings
3) The OpenSource tool "Angry IP Scanner" (http://angryip.org/) does a very nice job
