General Information

Note

BoX2 pro motion is only partly covered in this manual. For more information on configuring the BoX2 pro motion, see the BoX2 pro motion and BSD Start up manual (KI00390).

Important

When updating the system image through “Make recovery SD card” an SD card formatted with FAT16/FAT32 and maximum 32 GB must be used.

Default IP Addresses

These are the default IP addresses for the BoX2 devices:

	BoX2 base v2, extreme (incl. SC), pro (incl. SC)	BoX2 pro motion
LAN A	192.168.1.1	None (EtherCAT)
LAN B	DHCP	192.168.1.1

Note

Devices with 2 Ethernet ports MUST NOT have IP addresses in the same subnet.

Communication drivers may use either dynamic or static ports, depending on the specific driver. Some drivers operate with fixed ports, while others do not. For detailed information, consult the documentation for the driver in question.

LED Indication

BoX2 uses three colors for LED indication; Red, Purple and Blue.

Red

State	Description
Constant on	Unit is busy booting, or updating image through recovery SD card.
Every 2 seconds on/off	Unit is in standby/update mode. If image recovery has been run, then this indicates it has finished, eject SD card and reboot unit.
Fast flashing	Eject USB/SD card. Note Fast flashing continues for a couple of seconds after ejecting the USB/SD card.

Purple

State	Description
Constant on	Operating system is booting up.
Every 0.5 seconds on/off	The unit is on standby and no iX Runtime or CODESYS project is running.
Fast flashing for 5 seconds	USB/SD card project (iX or CODESYS) update successful.

Blue

State	Description
Every 0.5 seconds on/off	The iX project is running.
Every 0.5 seconds, short flash	CODESYS project is running.
Every 0.5 seconds, alternately short and long flash	Both iX and CODESYS running.

Note

If the LED alternatively flashes Red to Blue to Purple, the wrong image type is installed. Please reinstall correct image.
