iMAC2 CONTROLLER ETHERNET/IP COMMUNICATIONS2
OVERVIEW
The iMAC2 Controller is equipped with an Ethernet port and a serial communication port. This manual
details the use of the Ethernet port. For information pertaining to the use of the serial communications
port, refer to the IMACB153 iMAC Controller Serial Communications Manual.
NOTE
The Ethernet port is a read only communications port. The iMAC2
Controller has been manufactured in this way to maintain the SIL
“Proven in Use” statistics of the previous iMAC Controller.

Connecting to the Ethernet Port for the First Time2.2
The iMAC2 Controller’s factory default Ethernet IPv4 settings are as follows:
Table 2: Default Ethernet Communications Port Settings
Default Ethernet IPv4 Settings
IP Address
10.1.1.10
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
If the Controller’s IPv4 settings have been changed, they can be restored to the factory default settings by
pressing the iMAC2 Controller’s Ethernet Reset button for 4 seconds (The internal iMAC2 Controller status
LED will turn on solid while the reset button is depressed, after 4 seconds the LED will change to a fast flash
to indicate settings have been reset to default, after which the button can then be released).

The iMAC2 Controller’s Ethernet port settings are not configurable via the HMI; they must be altered using
the iMAC2 Web Interface. The Controller’s web server can be accessed using a one-to-one Ethernet
connection with an Ethernet enabled device. Temporarily configure your device’s Ethernet port as follows:
Figure 3: Updating the Ethernet Port Settings of the Connectable Device
Once the network adaptor of the external device has been configured as shown in Figure 3, connect the
iMAC2 Controller’s Ethernet port directly to your device’s Ethernet port, the iMAC2 Controller should then be
able to be pinged at 10.1.1.10. Once a successful ping has been performed, open a web browser (Chrome
recommended) and enter the iMAC2 Controller’s IP address into the address bar: http://10.1.1.10; the
iMAC2 Controller web pages should load within a few seconds.
