Troubleshooting G120 Driver Error After IP Address Change

Question:

Greetings! My G120 driver was functioning well until an IP address change occurred, resulting in an error. Despite having a connection to the PLC network, the program is unable to detect the driver. Could you please provide insights into the possible reasons for this issue?

Did you successfully update the settings on the drive and perform a hardware download to the PLC? Also, are you unsure which IP address is the correct one in the screenshot? Make sure to input the right IP address for seamless connectivity and functioning.

Hey there! An IP address change can disrupt the communication of your G120 driver with your network. It sounds like your software might not necessarily be recognizing the updated IP address. Make sure your driver's IP settings are correctly configured to match your new network settings. Alternatively, it could also be an issue of firewall settings blocking the driver from being detected, so I'd check that too. Also, remember to reboot your system after changes, sometimes it needs a fresh start to adjust to new settings. Hope this helps!

Hey there! It sounds like your issue could be a result of firewalls or router configurations blocking the communication after the IP change. I'd suggest checking your firewall settings, as well as ensuring your new IP is correctly configured in your PLC and router. Another possibility could be the need for a firmware update on your driver after the IP change. Hope this helps!

It seems like your G120 driver might not be recognizing the new IP address post-change, hence the issue, despite having a PLC network connection. I'd suggest checking the driver settings to ensure it's configured properly to communicate using the new IP. Additionally, you might want to look into resetting the driver or updating its firmware if hasn't been done yet. Make sure your firewall settings are not blocking this interaction as well. Best of luck!
