Native Ethernet 
Communication
All PowerMonitor™ 5000 units are equipped with a native EtherNet/IP™ 100 
BaseT communication port. This section describes EtherNet/IP communication 
and the available protocols to use for your application.
The Ethernet communication port allows communication with your power 
monitor by using a local area network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet port to 
view the internal web page of the unit.
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit communicates through Ethernet or 
EtherNet/IP drivers in RSLinx® Classic software, and through explicit messages 
from Rockwell Automation® controllers that communicate via an EtherNet/IP 
network.
Setup
Setup parameters for the Ethernet native communication port are found in the 
Configuration.Comunications_Native table. Addresses in this list are expressed 
as A.B.C.D where A is the first octet of the IP address or subnet mask, for 
example, 192.168.200.101.
IP_Address_Obtain
Selects the IP Address at startup. These values are for this parameter:
0 = Static IP
1 = DHCP (default) 
The semantics for these parameters:
This table displays the setup parameters for the native Ethernet port whether 
Static or DHCP is selected. If Static is selected, the value of parameters in this 
table defines the port settings.
IP_Address_A
IP_Address_B
IP_Address_C
IP_Address_D
Ethernet port Internet Protocol (IP) address.
