The IP Address menu item is a display of the current IP Address, IP Address Mask, and the IP Address Gateway of the 9215 controller. Each of these is divided into four octets when displayed on the screen. For example, IP Address 1 represents the first octet of the IP Address. IP Address 4 represents the fourth octet of the IP Address. The IP Address is made up of all four octets.

Please consult your Systems Administrator before changing this value as it can affect communications to the 9215 controller, communications between the controller and the PLC, communications between the controller and other devices on the network, or to data collection systems. 

The range for each section (octet) of the three addresses is 0 to 255.  Note – If the IP address of the controller is changed, then the IP address will have to be changed in the System Settings menu option - .  Once the IP address has been changed, the communications will eventually go bad and stay bad until the settings have been updated.

NOTE: The IP address is not typically used for communications from the touch screen to the controller, but for communications between the controller to SuperDATA modules, PLCs, etc.
