Raspberry Pi Setting Static IP Address
8K views · Oct 12, 2022 accautomation.ca
There are two ways to set a static IP address for our Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. The first is to use the MAC (Media Access Control) address value and set the IP address using your router software. The MAC address can be found by using the ifconfig in terminal mode and press enter. Here is a video on this procedure. https://youtu.be/tz0XaHKdaNI The second method to set the IP address is to use the DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd). sudo service dhcpcd status This command will show you if the dhcpcd is running. If not then use the following commands to start and run the service at startup. sudo service dhcpcd start sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd Edit the DHCP Client Daemon by using the following command: sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf Add the following lines to the configuration file. interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.134/24 static routers=192.168.1.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 Note: /24 represents the mask of 255.255.255.0 Save the changes with ‘Ctrl + O’ and then press the enter key. Close the configuration file with ‘Ctrl + X’.

Node-RED will be used on the Raspberry Pi 4 to communicate Modbus RTU to a Solo process temperature controller and Click PLC using twisted pair RS485. This will be done on the same serial network so the devices will be daisy chained together on the two wires. We will be reading the PV (present value) and SV (set value) of the Solo temperature controller and then writing these values into the Click PLC. A SV value will then be read from the Click PLC and if it has changed, the value will be written to the SV of the Solo controller. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website.
