1. Connecting power and the PC

power wiring a power supply means working with mains power take all required local regulations and safety precautions in mind these voltages are lethal and should not be operated on by unqualified personnel the {{controller name}} needs a 24 volt dc power supply the controller itself will use up to {{controller current consumption}} without any peripherals connected it is crucial to use a power supply of sufficient capacity keep in mind that all connected peripherals may consume additional power, we therefore recommend using at least a 24v 1a power supply to protect the {{controller name}} and the peripherals connected to it, it is important to place a fuse between the 24v power supply and the {{controller name}} in most cases, a 1a fuse is enough if you expect the fuse to be blown, you can measure the continuity or resistance of the fuse to do this, remove the fuse from its holder and, using a multimeter, measure from each end of the fuse in continuity mode, the multimeter will beep and in resistance mode, the resistance should be very low (under 1ω) there is no on/off button on the {{controller name}} so the device will power up when power is applied this is indicated by the power indicator being illuminated connection to the pc connection the {{controller name}} needs an ethernet connection to the pc running the user interface this connection this connection must be a direct connection between the pc and the {{controller name}} an unmanaged network switch may be present between the pc and the controller the resulting network may only be used for controlling the machine and its supported accessory devices, this means that the connection may not be shared with internet data a wired internet connection can only be established using a different network port on the pc configuration the default ip address for the {{controller name}} is {{default controller ip}} and the default ip address for the pc is {{default pc ip}} go to the windows network settings, press the windows key + x, then choose network connections in the window that appears select ethernet select change adapter options under the related settings double click the adapter to which the machine is connected, it can be recognized because it shows unidentified network a new window containing more detailed information about the ethernet port appears select properties and deselect all items except internet protocol version 4 (tcp/ipv4) select internet protocol version 4 (tcp/ipv4) , click on properties , and enter the following in the window that opens testing to verify that the applied changes are correct, a simple test can be performed it can be tested using the ping command in windows open a command prompt by clicking the windows icon or pressing the windows logo on the keyboard and typing command prompt type ping {{default controller ip}} and press enter in case the machine has its ip configured differently, change the ip to that address in this command the command should return as displayed below when the setup was unsuccessful, the command will respond similarly to the image below troubleshooting there are several reasons that the above test failed first, try to go through the setup process again to make sure nothing was missed if this still fails, try the steps below is the controller powered? consult the 1 connecting power and the pc docid\ b2tcgjoonspomg7ssprwa instruction to see what indicators need to be illuminated to signal power to the controller is the machine connected to the pc using a cross cable? the cable to the machine must be a cross type is the controller online? check the link and activity indicators on the controller is the controller active? check if the status indicator is flashing in the next step , the e stop switch will be connected and set up this step is not optional on the {{controller name}} as the outputs will not work when this step is skipped
