This following guide is to setup the legacy -MBT addon module. Please see CM1-T User Guide to setup the CM1-T. |
The user will want to setup the network settings for the Modbus TCP motor. This could include setting a static/dynamic IP and/or a password.
To configure a CM1 with Modbus TCP you should have the following
Two main network settings can be changed
When you logon to the Modbus TCP web configuration page there are other Modbus related settings. These should be left as they are. If you reset the module to defaults please refer to the Configuring Modbus section at the bottom of this page.
When logging onto the configuration page for the first time there is no password. Follow the steps below to logon.
The motor comes standard with a dynamic IP looking for a DHCP server. If no server is found the module will assign itself and address in the 169.254 range. If the module is plugged directly into a computer it will typically get set in this manner. To assign a static IP use the following step-by-step guide.
To set back to DHCP or another configuration for a dynamic IP select the "Obtain IP address automatically" radio button.
The web configuration can be protected with a password.
There is no way to reset the password if it is forgotten without returning the module to the factory. |
This section is relevant if a user has clicked "Apply Defaults" on the web interface. The module will have arrived with the correct Modbus TCP settings. Do not change Modbus settings unless instructed to my a Myostat engineer. |
The Modbus TCP module has now been set to correctly communicate with the motor.
