BUG-O Systems Piper-Plus - Manual (Page 29)

Important Safety Info: If you are going to network systems together, it is absolutely critical
that the IP addresses and subnet masks are configured properly. Improper configuration
could lead to a machine controlling the wrong power source, potentially resulting in injury or
death. Bug-O cannot assist you in networking a pipeline. Bug-O Systems cannot tell you what
networking equipment to purchase, how to configure it, or how to run a Production Monitoring
server. Bug-O Systems cannot be held responsible for issues caused by networking equipment.
Bug-O Systems can only support connecting the control box directly to the power source with
the default addresses. It is highly recommended that you do not make any network changes
while any system on the network is running. You must carefully assess the risks, benefits, and
technical challenges of networking multiple machines together.
By default, the address of the control box is 89.0.0.222 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the Power
Wave ® S350’s address must be 89.0.0.221, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If you purchased a complete
system from Bug-O, the Power Wave ® S350’s address will already be configured. If you did not
purchase a complete system, you must configure the Power Wave ® S350 with a computer using
Lincoln Electric’s Power Wave ® Manager Software.
It is possible to change the control box’s IP address and the address of the power source it is supposed
to control on the Global Config screen. To change the target power source address, simply enter the
new address. To change the control box’s address, click Set Piper IP, double click PCI-E100CE1, and
then enter the new IP Address and subnet mask. Click OK, and then close the window. It is highly
recommended that you carefully label the machines with their IP addresses. There is a crossover
network cable adapter located inside the control box. To connect the control box to a switch, your
switch must be smart enough to detect a crossover cable. Alternatively you can use another crossover
adapter to convert the cable back into a normal cable.
