Installation 4-44
AC30 series Variable Speed Inverter
Setting the IP Address
The inverter’s 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 inverter will obtain an address from this.
Auto-IP
If the network has no DHCP server or if connecting the inverter directly to a PC then the IP address will be chosen randomly by the inverter from
the link-local address range 169.254.*.*. Note that when connecting the inverter directly to a PC it may take 1 – 2 minutes for the PC to obtain a
link-local address.
Manual
The IP address may be fixed if required. The DHCP and Auto-IP must both be disabled.
The current IP address of the inverter may be monitored using the following parameters 0926 IP Address, 0927 Subnet Mask, 0928 Gateway
Address, found in menu: Parameters::Base Comms::Ethernet
The state of the Ethernet may be monitored using the parameter 0919 Ethernet State and from the Ethernet icon on the GKP status bar.
More Information
For more information on customizing and troubleshooting the inverter’s Ethernet see Chapter 12 – Ethernet.
Accessing the inverter’s web page is also described in Chapter 12 and information on using the Modbus TCP server can be found in Appendix A
