Problems setting IP address in Modbus I/O server

Hello, I purchased a company and all the software came with it, so now I need to get one of them working without in depth knowledge of the program itself. (fun!)

 

The problem I have is that the program is trying to access my slaves on a different IP address than what is set in the project explorer window (each slave has it's own IP, 6 of them)

When I go into the DSM and look at the IP address for each slave there is comes up with 192.168.111.51-56, I need them to be 192.168.1.51-56. If I set them in the DSm they just revert back once the program is run.

I have written a few programs in Labview in the past but nothing this complex. any idea where I can search to find out what is keeping the IP's at the old address?

btw if I change the slaves to 192.168.111.51-56 then everything runs smoothly, but the IP's need to get set to what the customer desires not what they are at now.

 

Thanks

A text search on one of the IP addresses should quickly show all the hard-coded values.  If the program is saving the info to file, you'll need to search for file i/o or follow the data paths.  Should be a pretty quick thing.  I'd be happy to take a quick look if you want to email me your code.

I did a text search already and came up with nothing.

 

The program is pretty big and complex, 3.5MB and 90 files. don't know if I could attach it.

You can Zip the files into one.  Size shouldn't be a problem.
