If you want to know the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, select Start…All
Programs…Accessories…Command Prompt. Then type “ipconfig” and press Enter. You should see something
like this:
If your PC’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, a common setting known as a Class C subnet mask, then your
machine can only talk to another network device whose IP address matches yours in the first three octets.
(The numbers between the dots in an IP address are called an octet.) For example, if your PC is on a Class C
subnet and has an IP address of 192.168.0.20, it can talk to a device at 192.168.0.40, but not one at
192.168.1.40. If you change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 (Class B) you can talk to any device whose first
two octets match yours. Be sure to ask your system administrator before doing this. You network may be
segmented for a reason.
Your drive includes a 16 position rotary switch for setting its IP address. The factory default address for each
switch setting is shown in the table below.
Rotary Switch IP Address
0 10.10.10.10
1 192.168.1.10
2 192.168.1.20
3 192.168.1.30
4 192.168.0.40
5 192.168.0.50
6 192.168.0.60
7 192.168.0.70
8 192.168.0.80
9 192.168.0.90
A 192.168.0.100
B 192.168.0.110
C 192.168.0.120
D 192.168.0.130
E 192.168.0.140
F DHCP
Settings 1 through E can be changed using the ST Configurator software (use Quick Tuner for servo drives).
Setting 0 is always “10.10.10.10”, the universal recovery address. If someone were to change the other
settings and not write it down or tell anyone (I’m not naming names here, but you know who I’m talking
about) then you will not be able to communicate with your drive. The only way to “recover” it is to use the
universal recovery address.
