3.4 Configuring the Embedded Ethernet Interface
Before you can use the embedded Ethernet Interface, you must configure it using the programming
software. To configure the embedded Ethernet interface:
1) In the Project tab of the Navigator, expand
your PACSystems Target, the hardware
configuration, and the main rack (Rack 0).
2) Expand the CPU slot (Slot 1). The Ethernet
Interface daughterboard is displayed as
Ethernet.
3) Right click the daughterboard slot and choose
Configure. The Parameter Editor window
displays the Ethernet Interface parameters.
Ethernet interface configuration includes the following additional procedures. For details on completing
these steps, refer to the PACSystems RX7i, RX3i and RSTi-EP TCP/IP Ethernet Communications User
Manual, GFK-2224.
â–ª Assigning an IP Address for initial network operation, such as connecting the programmer to
download the hardware configuration, using the Set Temporary IP Address utility (refer to Setting a
Temporary IP Address) or by downloading a hardware configuration through a serial connection.
â–ª Configuring the characteristics of the Ethernet interface.
â–ª Configuring Ethernet Global Data, if used.
â–ª (Optional, not required for most systems). Setting up the RS-232 port for Local Station Manager
Operation. This is part of the basic Ethernet Interface configuration.
â–ª (Optional, not required for most systems). Configuring advanced user parameters. This requires
creating a separate ASCII parameter file that is stored to the Controller with the hardware
configuration. The Ethernet Interface has a set of default Advanced User Parameter values that
should be changed only in exceptional circumstances by experienced users.
â–ª (Optional) Setting up the Controller for Modbus/TCP Server operation.
Note: Whenever a CPE310 is configured as a CPU310, Ethernet properties cannot be configured.
The embedded Ethernet interface is not supported when CPE310 is configured as a CPU310 and
the Ethernet port should not be connected to any network because it may have adverse effects
on the network and/or operation of the CPU.
Note: Whenever a CPE330 is configured as a CPU320, Ethernet properties cannot be configured.
However, the embedded Ethernet ports may be used with their default IP Addresses.
