?What happens?
VisiWinNET cannot establish a connection to the PLC running on the same controller.
The "ipconfig" Microsoft Windows command displays the IP address 0.0.0.0 in the p300.
When does this behaviour occur?
The above-described behaviour will occur if it has been selected in the VisiWinNET project settings that the PLC is to be accessed via the fixed IP address of the p300 controller and the p300 is not connected to an Ethernet network.
The connection between VisiWinNET and PLC will be reestablished as soon as the p300 will be reconnected to an Ethernet network. In this case, the "ipconfig" command will display the fixed IP address.
Which products are affected?
L-force p300 controller V3.8 and higher
Short-term measures:
Go to the PLC connection settings in the VisiWinNET project and set the "PLC is local" parameter to TRUE.
Evaluation/recommendations:
The function restriction affects the visualisation with VisiWinNET if the p300 controller on which the visualisation is running is not connected to an Ethernet network.
