We have a machine that use a Bosch PPC-R22.1 (with firmware GPP-10V44). Has anyone had experience with establishing communication with this device? It does have a built in ethernet port, which i am unsure what the IP address is configured as (if configured at all, i do not have VisualMotion software for this unfortunately). The manual does specify that is supports Ethernet/IP. So the root of my question(s): Is there software available (for download) that can configure the ethernet interface? If i get the interface configured, how do you setup the coms with ignition? ---

I did find that the display (H1) on the controller will show the configured IP address, unfortunately it is showing XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX which i assume means the interface is not configured. ---

If you can get me any manuals or an EDS file, I could review its possible compatibility with my [EtherNet/IP Class 1](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-ethernetip-class-1-communications) driver. ---

I believe there is an EDS for this device in existence, I'll see if I can dig that up. ---

It appears they only had EDS's for ControlNet & DeviceNet. I did however find a manual. [https://www.lsa-control.com/pub/media/pdf/Pool/30632501v01\_rexroth\_visualmotion\_10\_multi\_axis\_machine\_control\_volume\_1\_dok\_vismot\_vm\_10vrs\_fk01\_indramat.pdf](https://www.lsa-control.com/pub/media/pdf/Pool/30632501v01_rexroth_visualmotion_10_multi_axis_machine_control_volume_1_dok_vismot_vm_10vrs_fk01_indramat.pdf) Starting on 7-114 may be useful information. ---

Yes, pretty nice interface. The cyclic functionality would be straightforward to support with my driver's scanner functionality ("Premium" in the V1 driver). The non-cyclic would have to be scripted (also through the scanner mode of the driver) for now. In the future, arbitrary class/instance/attribute access will be easily available in the V2 client mode driver. ---

Sounds good, i have been eyeballing your class 1 driver anyway. Now to try and get the interface configured.. Thank You ---

Hello Jacob. Were you able to find the IP address via the S1/menus? If so, I would like to know how. I'm at a disadvantage since I'm trying to figure this out remotely. ---

If I recall correctly, pressing S1 should scroll through a few displays, one of them being the IP address. I believe it will show even if the interface is not configured (mine showed 0.0.0.0).
