This project needs to be made aware of the new hardware, along with the Stuga software false en Beckhoff_C6015.jpg none Take care to ensure all cables are replaced in the same relative positions Power on Teamviewer in to the new beckhoff PLC ("BE") Set * IP Address * Subnet Mask * Default Gateway These addresses should be stored in the DDRIVE of the front end PC in IP.mul This is done using the TwinCAT Visual Studio interface. The location of the Visual Studio project will depend on the setup and age of the machine. Generally this is one of 3 places, to find out, use teamviewer database to list the computers associated with the machine # If the PC has a "VM" virtual machine installed (2023 onwards), a project will be set up on this desktop - use Teamviewer to connect # If the PC has a "C" camera machine (only selected customers and older TwinCAT2 machines) # On the main front end PC (operator desktop) See [[Archiving a TwinCAT Project]] This step programs the project with the Mac address of the ethernet port for the system to use as the connection to the TwinCAT system. There are two ports on the front of the Beckhoff unit, Ethernet (Yellow cable) plugs in one, EtherCAT(green cable) in the other. # Double click devices # Adapter tab # Click Search # Select the "EtherCAT" Port (This may not be named correctly, one port is used for EtherCAT, the other for Ethernet) # Click ok Ensure all devices are in OP mode Click Apply Username is Administrator and password is the standard Stuga one This step tells the front end the AMS net Id of the backend. The AMS net Id should be different for every Beckhoff PLC created Two parameters need to be set amsNetId=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].1.1 twinCATAddress=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].1.1 <br/> Shut down all the pcs, saving projects, etc and perform a full power cycle Replace the PC hardware Set up the customer related network settings Open the PLC Project Backup (Archive) the current project Set the route to the new PLC Change the Device Activate the configuration Check the EtherCAT network Set Boot Settings to Run Mode Ensure the params.saw Net ids updated Set the route for the front end to the back end PLC Log in both Tc3Multi and PLC_Reset Projects Full shutdown and restart to check 2023-10-02T09:12:20Z 2460219.8835648 Replacing Beckhoff PC 0 false false 0 0 0 1 plainlist 3 [[:Dokit:DocOptions]] [[DokitEPIEnable::yes]] Replacing Beckhoff PC# QUERYee7a61aae48f1c3f91d8e4d7736360be
