Detect and clear a duplicated IP address

Use the Ethernet configuration page to configure the Internet Protocol settings in the
FactoryTalk Design Workbench
 project.
TIP:
  • A duplicated IP address occurs when the IP address is configured manually. To avoid duplicated IP addresses, use DHCP to automatically obtain the UP address.
  • When a duplicated IP address is detected, the controller ends all Ethernet communications.
  • Use the
    Detect duplicate IP address
     checkbox to turn on or turn off duplicated IP address detection.
Prerequisites
  • The controller is in
    Remote program
     mode.
