To add an explicit node to the list:
1. Press Add Node ( Figure 21 ).
Figure 21 - Configuration Node
2. Enter the IP Address of the HMI Interface Board module to be discovered.
The Default Name is the name that will be associated with the Drive Icon
if the Drive cannot be discovered, thus using the name from the drive.
3. Click OK to add this drive node to the list.
Nodes are removed or edited by selecting the desired node from the list and
pressing the appropriate push button.
IP Setup
The IP Setup from the maintenance menu opens the dialog of Figure 22 . It works
similar to the IP Setup of the Drive Menu, except this dialog performs a discovery
process to find all HMI Interface Board modules on the local network. The
MAC Address of all modules are presented in a drop down list from which the
desired module can be selected.
This method is useful when configuring HMI Interface Board modules on a
network for the first time. These modules may not be correctly configured with
an IP Address for the network, but are still detectable via the MAC Address via
this method.
