ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS
The AC30V comes with built-in Ethernet providing communications with the PDQ, a Modbus TCP server and a web server.
Connecting the Ethernet Cable
See Chapter 12 Ethernet for full cable information.
Diagram showing how to insert the Ethernet cable.
Setting the IP Address
The AC30V Ethernet requires an IP address to participate in communications. The factory default is set so that an IP address is selected
automatically depending on the network on which it is connected. It may obtain an IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP.
DHCP
If the network has a DHCP (Dynamic Host Communications Protocol) server, then the AC30V will obtain an address from this.
Auto-IP
If the network has no DHCP server or if connecting the AC30V directly to a PC then, after a timeout period, the IP address will be chosen
randomly by the AC30V from the link-local address range 169.254.*.*. Note that when connecting the AC30V directly to a PC it may take 1 – 2
minutes for the PC to obtain a link-local address.
Disconnecting the Ethernet Cable
To remove the cable first remove the GKP and then insert a
screwdriver to release the catch on the Ethernet clip.
