CompactLogix – Why Does Its IP Address Keep Changing? (qa230221)

Automation Q & A from the Morning Show dated 02/21/23:

A reader recently asked why does his CompactLogix’s IP Address keep  reverting back to the old value every time he cycles power, and I share my thoughts on that in today’s Automation Q&A.

NOTE: You’ll find the articles mentioned in this episode here and here.

NOTE: If you need to learn how to program, use, and troubleshoot CompactLogix, check out my Compact Basics online course. It comes with support and never expires.

Until next time, Peace ✌️
