Introduction to OndoControl

After connecting the sensor to your computer and entering its IP address in your browser’s address bar, the OndoControl user interface will appear as shown below.

If the page does not load, check your PC’s ethernet settings:

Direct connection: Set the LAN port to an IP address in the 10.10.42.xx subnetwork (No DHCP!) and use the default IP 10.10.42.2 in the address bar to access OndoControl.
Via PLC network: Assign an IP address that matches your PLC network.
