Setting Up the Controller IP Address for AADvance Workbench Communications
The AADvance controller stores a resource number and IP address information.
These details have to match those defined in the AADvance Workbench for the
application. After you have configured these details the AADvance Workbench can
communicate with the controller. You use the AADvanceDiscover utility to set up
the controller for AADvance Workbench communications.
Controller IP Address Setting
The AADvanceDiscover Utilility uses a discovery and configuration protocol
(proprietary to Rockwell Automation) to set the controller IP address within the
AADvance Workbench and to scan the broadcast domain for other AADvance
controllers. The utility locates each controller by its unique MAC Address. Having
located a particular controller to be configured, the utility lets you configure the
resource number and IP Address to be stored in the controller; after you have done
this, the AADvance Workbench can communicate with the other controller.
AADvanceDiscover Utility
The AADvanceDiscover utility is installed when you install the AADvance
Workbench, and appears on the Start menu of the computer. Click on AADvance
Discover to start the AADvanceDiscover utility.
The AADvanceDiscover utility displays a list of the AADvance controllers on the
broadcast network, and reports a status for each one:
 Configurable
 Locked
 No response
