Fieldbus Controller 750-841 • 87Starting up an ETHERNET TCP/IP fieldbus nodeWAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750ETHERNET TCP/IPFig. 3-13 Dialog Window of the WAGO BootP Server with Messages P012909d10. Now it is important to restart the controller by resetting the hardware. Todo this, cycle power to the fieldbus controller for approximately 2 secondsor press the operating mode switch down, which is located behind theconfiguration interface flap on the front of the controller.Following this, you should see a reply from the PFC stating that the IPaddress has been accepted (no errors).
