Configure Basics
Configuration Startup
To show parameter values in U.S. units, make sure the language "English US" is selected in
the Language (20) menu.
To access to the configuration menus:
• Select "Yes" in the Show more menus menu (18).
• If the password function is in use, enter the password instead.
Configure I/O-module Communication
Communication between the I/O-module and the operator panel must be set up.
Before using this function
• Obtain MAC address. (Reference: Bar code on I/O-module housing).
• If the I/O-module is connected to an intranet, obtain two consecutive IP-addresses
from the network administrator.
Bar code with MAC address
The MAC address is the last 9 digits of the bar code.
Example:
Bar code
10.255.240.017
MAC address 255.240.017
Type of communication
The operator panel and I/O-module can be connected in two ways:
• Local network: direct connection with cable.
• Intranet: both modules are connected to an intranet.
Types of IP addresses
The RTU uses two consecutive IP addresses:
• First address is called BaseIPaddress. It is used by the operator panel.
• Second address is derived from the first. It is used by the I/O-module.
Local network
In this case, the default Base IP address is sufficient. If desired, any of the following free
addresses can be used instead:
• 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Configure I/O module communication
Specify the MAC address in the I/O-module MAC addr. menu (17_6_2).
1. If necessary, specify the first of the two consecutive IP addresses in the Base IP
address menu (17_6_1).
Keep in mind: If the modules form a local network, the default Base IP address is
sufficient.
2. If necessary, specify a new IP communication timeout in the IP timeout menu
(17_6_3).
Keep in mind: the default value is appropriate for most installations.
