Finding IP Address of our sensors and controllers

Hi this is Pedro Velasco from Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today we want to show you how to find the IP address for ARIS sensors or web guide controls are equipped with the Ethernet IP connectivity option. As an example today we're going to use the WPS 440 IR which is a most recent additions to the ARIS WPS sensor lines and this one has an inner router to access the network so that we can monitor this later on. So first we're going to connect an ethernet cable to the M12 connector which is on the side port of the ARIS the WPS 440 IR and then the other side of the connector we're going to connect it to the router in the rj45 Ethernet connector jack Once it is connected, then we go ahead and connect the power to the sensor and then we verify that the connection is correct by looking at the blinking light on the router.

Now after this has been achieved then we can go ahead and proceed to a computer to actually go and find out the IP address for this particular sensor. So by default the router will assign an IP address to the device and this will be a dynamic IP address. Now to find the address you will need to access the Internet through any computer from which you will monitor the device in this case we searched online for Anybus.com and then we look at the support so we hit the support tab. Then we go to the selected product icon and from the select your product Icon you go to the Anybus IC icon and you click on it.

Then you go to the Ethernet IP and here you have a list of software so you're going to download on the software section when the one that says IP configuration utility for module TCP IP configuration. Now you go through the whole process of downloading the this software but once you download then you hit your Start button on your screen and just go to the HMS as you see here and open that up and then you see the IP configuration. When you click on it, it will automatically open this this window right here. Of course, sometimes when you're doing the first time this will not show up so you hit scan and it will scan for anything, any IP addresses are available.

So in this case here you have access to your IP address. Ok, so let's say for example you want, this is a dynamic address, but you want to establish a static address so all you have to do is just right click on the on the line and then you see the configuration tab. Just hit configuration and then you can actually set your static IP address on this window right here. So we mentioned before how to find an IP address for one of our sensors or web guide controls.

It's a very simple procedure as we showed and we hope that this can be of help to you when you are using our products on your operations so again thank you very much and just keep on looking for other videos. Thank you
