I'm attempting to write a default.CR6 file for a datalogger that makes sure the ethernet power will turn on after a remote OS update. I've tried EthernetPower(-1), as well as the IPNetPower commands but not seeming to have any luck. I also tried the SetStatus("EthernetPower", "1") commands with no luck (manual is a bit vague and says values range 0-4 with 4 off so tried 0-3).
I've been testing using device config, and just changing all the settings through there and checking the program correctly sets the datalogger back up. This works for the IP stuff but if I disable ethernet power it won't come back. Any ideas?
My program...
BeginProg
EthernetPower(-1)
SetStatus ("PakBusAddress", "154")
SetStatus ("StationName", Station)
SetStatus ("IPAddressEth", "x.x.x.x")
SetStatus ("IPGateway", "x.x.x.x")
SetStatus ("IPMaskEth", "x.x.x.x")
Scan (1,Sec,0,0)
NextScan
EndProg
Hi,
I used the same configuration as Jonny did and the result is the same. The IP address, Mask and Gateway are OK using SetSettings or SetStatus but ethernet interface always remains to OFF
Try
SetSetting("EthernetEnable", True) (on) and SetSetting("EthernetEnable", False) (off)
Also EthernetPower takes Booleans.
EthernetPower(True) (on) and EthernetPower(False) (off).
Also the help you are looking at is for setting EthernetPower not the instruction EthernetPOwer(). SetSetting("EthernetPower", 0) (always on), SetSetting("EthernetPower", 2) (1 minute), and SetSetting("EthernetPower", 4) (Always Off).
Thanks Gary,
I tried with the instruction SetSetting("EthernetEnable, True) and everything is working fine.
But I am wondering where this EthernethEnable comes from. I didn't see this instruction neither in the manual nor help.
But anyway it's working
If you go to the following website (https://www.campbellsci.com/downloads?c=9999&d=324), download the executable, then run it on the PC you are running the CRBasic Editor on, it will update the help for the CRBasic Editor as well as copy the latest OS for the CR6 to your computer's hard drive for later use.
