DHCP
The drives EtherNet/IP communication supports DHCP for
easier network configuration. Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that is used to
configure network devices so that they can communicate
on an IP network. As a DHCP client, EtherNet/IP negotiates
with the DHCP server to determine its IP address and
obtain any other initial configuration details it needs for
network operation.
IP address
IP is divided into four parts. (Part = Octet) Default Static
IPAddress is 192.168.1.254
Communication timeout
Defines how much time can pass from the last received
message from the client device before fieldbus fault is
generated. Default communication timeout is 10seconds.
ote: N If the network cable is broken from the EtherNet/IP
slot, a fieldbus error is generated immediately.
Static IP address
In most cases the user may want to establish a Static IP
Address for the drives EtherNet/IP based on their network
configuration. Static IP address default configurations
are as defined in “EtherNet/IP network settings” table,
provided in “Connections and Wiring” section. The user can
manually define the network address for the EtherNet/IP
as long as all units connected to the network are given the
same network portion of the address. In these situations
the user will need to manually set the IP Address in the
drive by using the drive keypad. Be aware that overlapping
IP addresses can cause conflicts between devices on
the network. For more information about selecting IP
addresses, contact your network administrator.
