Setting of redundant IP for AC 800M PLC
I need to set redundant IP address for AC800M PLC. I followed the steps given in the manual. So far i didnt arrive at the result. Is there any special setting to be made while doing 'IPConfig'. I checked with RNRP where it said secondary network address is not available. Please let me know on how to set secondary IP address for AC800M PLC.
Thanks,

Hi
Your question seems not very clear to me...You are asking two questions:
- Setting the IP address of the AC800M Backup controller
- Enabling of the Redundant Network to be visible in RNRP Monitor.
Setting the IP address of the AC800M Backup controller
- When using IP Config to set the IP address of the controller,
- IPCONFIG - Settings - Set Backup IP address. You can use the default rule or you can give one as per manual.
Enabling of the Redundant Network to be visible in RNRP Monitor.
- This you have to enable it from Settings tab of the controler in CBM
-1.Expand Controllers
2.Find your controller
3.Expand Hardware AC 800M
4.Expand the processor unit
5.Click the Ethernet channel (for both Ethernet Channels)
- Then just warm start by pressing INIT button for < 2 seconds.
- You should see SEND as well as Receive LEDs flashing for redundant network also.

Hi,
Sunny Khatri is right.. I'm editing his point to be more clear and easy.
Setting the IP address of the AC800M Backup controller
- When using IP Config to set the IP address of the controller,
1. Try having both Primary and Redundant controller online.
a. First give the Primary Ethernet IP-address, Primary Ethernet Subnet mask and store this by clicking STORE.
b. Immediately after that, IPCONFIG - Settings - Set Backup IP address. Use the default rule option.
If this does'nt work out, do the same procedure to both the controllers seperately. Both steps a and b has to be carried out for both controller individually.
This was a work around which I tried and worked when normal procedure did'nt work for one of my controller.

2.Find your controller
3.Expand Hardware AC 800M
4.Expand the processor unit
5.Click the Ethernet channel (for secondary Ethernet Channel)
Set Enable ethernet channel to true.
- Then just warm start by pressing INIT button for < 2 seconds for both controllers at the same time.
- You should now see SEND as well as Receive LEDs flashing for redundant network when controller come up.

If i understood correctly then you want to set Control network 2 IP address in a AC800M Controller.
If yes, then you need to set true for Etnernet at position 2 under the AC800M Controller Hardware and enter the IP address for the same.
Hope this will help you.
