IPCP 505 • SIS Programming and Control 50
SIS Programming
and Control
This section covers the following topics:
• Host-to-IPCP Communications
• Commands and Responses
The IPCP 505 can be remotely controlled via a host computer, touchpanel, or other device
(such as a control system) attached to a shared network.
The IPCP must be configured before use. As shipped, the controller/processor cannot
control any other devices or interact with a touchpanel until it has been configured. Set up
the IPCP or control it by using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or Global Configurator
software (version 3.2 or higher) via an Ethernet LAN connection. See page 13 in the
“Hardware Features and Installation” section for
pin assignments and protocol . For
information on the software and the embedded web pages, see Software-based
Configuration and Control starting on page 18 and see the help files for the software.
IPCP 505 LAN port defaults:
• IP address: 192.168.254.254
• Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
• DHCP: off
Host-to-IPCP Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the IPCP determines that a
command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All
responses from the IPCP to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]),
which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
IPCP 505-initiated Messages
If you are communicating with the IPCP via a verbose Telnet connection, when a local
event such as a selection via a touchpanel takes place, the IPCP responds by sending a
message to the host. No response is required from the host. The IPCP-initiated messages
are listed here.

The IPCP 505 sends the boot and copyright messages when you first open a Telnet
connection to the IPCP. The day of the week, date, and time are displayed if the unit is
connected via Telnet. If you use a Telnet connection, the copyright message, date, and time
may be followed by a password prompt.
