Step by step configuration of how to setup initial setup of a controller using WBM and SSH client.

Prepare controller for Docker installation

  1. Obtain IP address of a controller by either:

    • Connecting using USB-C cable (fixed IP: 192.168.42.42)
    • Temporary resetting IP address using reset button (refer to manual)
    • Setting up IP address using WAGO Ethernet Settings (refer to manual) and connecting using ethernet cable

  2. Type IP address into web browser with trailing '/wbm' (example: 'https://192.168.0.1/wbm')

  3. Log in using:

    • login: admin
    • password: wago

    Please note, if controller has been used before, your login details may differ.

  4. Navigate to Configuration / Networking / Routing and enable IP Forwarding through multiple interfaces image

  5. Attach an SD card (PLC has to be switched off!) and navigate to Configuration / Mass Storage to format the card.
    Select Filesystem type: Ext4 and choose a name the card directory. image

  6. Enable Docker from Configuration / Docker
    image

That concludes setup using Web-based Management page.

Move Docker to SD card

This step requires some form of SSH Client. We recommend PuTTY, downloadable here.

  1. Open PuTTY SSH Client and type in IP address of your controller.
  2. Terminal will open and if not given previously, user will be prompted for login and password. Please use:
    • login: root
    • password: wago
  3. Once logged in, type below command to stop running Docker Daemon.
    /etc/init.d/dockerd stop

  4. Copy actual docker data root folder to SD card directory
    cp -r /home/docker /media/sd/

  5. Edit daemon.json and change docker "data-root" entry
    nano /etc/docker/daemon.json
    image

  6. Start docker daemon
    /etc/init.d/dockerd start

  7. Check docker functionality
    docker info
    docker ps -a - to see all running containers
    docker images -a - to see all installed images

Enable IPV4 forwarding

Even though IPV4 forwarding has been already enabled from WBM, some customers report that only modifying configuration file enables it correctly. If that is the case, when connected using SSH Client, enter below command and modify the file:
nano /etc/sysctl.conf

image

Look for line "net.ipv4.ip_forward" and set it to net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 Press Ctrl + S to save and Ctrl + X to exit.
