Hi,
I wonder if someone has done this already?
We are trying to change the IP address of a Generic Ethernet-Module dynamically using code in Run mode. We have two different data sources and the remote system (Gods Knows what it is) will tell us where to get data from by sending us the Source IP address. The Logix PLC (1756-L71) will set the new IP address for the generic Ethernet-Module and start receiving same data from different physical source.
The idea is Duty/Standby system...if one system is down the PLC will then receive data from standby system. The other option may be to configure Generic Ethernet Module for both data sources and use which ever is valid.
BUT
This will leave one module in connection fault all the time and will require extra work around to display correct status on SCADA for correct module and keep the name of module same etc.
