Hardware - PLCnext I/O
PLCnext I/O Introduction
CDP Studio allows you to build and run control systems on the PLCnext controllers from Phoenix Contact and use the attached I/O modules. The PLCnext is pre-integrated in CDP Studio and the different I/O modules are available by simple drag and drop; no coding is required to use the PLCnext I/O modules.
Prerequisites:
Note:
- The PLCnext controller must have the app CDPIO installed. The application is available in the PLCnext Appstore. See below for instructions on Installation and Removal of the CDPIO app.
- When pairing with the PLCnext target Device, it is important that you use root as the username. See the Deployment Manual for more information.
- The PLCnext ARMv7 32-bit Toolkit must be chosen for the target device.
- Installation, as outlined below, must be performed.
Installation and Removal
The PLCnext Axioline AXC F 2152 controller has a default IP address set to 192.168.1.10. The default user is 'admin' and the default password is printed on the side of the controller. Refer to the PLCnext documentation on how to change the IP address of the controller.
- Download the CDPIO.app from the plcnext store
- Go into the web-interface on the controller IP address and install the app
- Make sure to also start the app (the controller will now reboot)
- Log into the controller using ssh or putty
- Type
install_cdpio.sh
and follow the instructions.
- After the controller has rebooted, Pair the Device with CDP Studio
- If you later want to uninstall the CDPIO app, you must first log in to the controller using ssh or putty and type
uninstall_cdpio.sh
Note: Make sure you follow the instructions and uninstall any licensed apps before performing the uninstall. Failing to do so might cause licensing issues.
