Yaskawa Sigma 5 with Mp2600iec Controller

[wolverine1981]

Hello

I have a new Yaskawa Sigma 5 with Mp2600 controller. I am attempting to go online with the controller. I set the config and E-init dip switches on, In the demo version I have the settings of the I/P address in hardware coniguration of 192.168.1.1 also the samed in the TCP/IP settings. I then go to Online > Controller Configuration and receive an error of being unable to connect to controller. Any ideas apperciated.

Have A Good Night

What is IP address of your PC/laptop? You must change it to match 192.168.1.x subnet pattern.

Hello
Thanks for quick reply LadderLogic.
The laptop is set to the same address.

If it is set to the same address, i.e. 192.168.1.1, it is not going to work. Set laptop to a different unused IP addrsss on the same subnet, say, 192.168.1.100.

I can't believe that the simplest possible problem did not cross my mind Good old Mr. Occam...

I hope you realize that these troubles (correct IP address and correct cable type) were not specific to this make and model but rather are generic for any Ethernet-based communication system.
