The next section of the object defines the parameters of the WATTCP.CFG file.
The following table describes the structure of this object.
Name Data Type Description
My_IP INT[4] IP address for module

255.255.255.0)
Gateway INT[4] IP address for gateway
GNetwork INT[4] Network IP address for the gateway

Each member of this object is an IP address specified in four words. Each word
represents a single digit of a dotted IP address. For example, the My_IP member
four words could be set to 192, 168, 0, 100. This corresponds to IP address
192.168.0.100. Care must be taken in assigning the values set for the members.
If the parameters are not set correctly, you may be unable to communicate with
the module. Check with your network administrator if you do not understand or
know the values to enter in this object.
After completely filling in the GECConfig object, use ladder logic to request that
the files be formed. Example ladder logic is provided in this documentation.
