6.2.1.3 Configuring the IP Address Automatically (Dynamic Address)
When connecting a PositionServo drive onto a network domain with a DHCP enabled server (where all
devices have dynamic IP addresses assigned by the server) the IP address of the PositionServo drive can
also be assigned automatically by the server.
To have the address assigned automatically the drive must have its DHCP mode enabled. This can be done
by using the drive keypad and display. Press the ‘mode’ button on the display and use the “UP” and “DOWN”
buttons to access parameter ‘DHCP’. Check this parameter is set to a value of ‘1’. If the DHCP parameter is
set to ‘0’ then use the ‘mode’ and up arrow to set to ‘1’ and then cycle power to the drive in order for this
change to take effect.
When the PositionServo drive is waiting for an IP address to be assigned to it by the server it will display
‘----‘ in each of the four octet parameters (IP_1, IP_2, IP_3, and IP_4) on its display. Once the address is
assigned by the server it will appear in these parameters. If this parameters continue to display ‘----‘ then
it is likely that a connection between the drive and server has not been established, or the server is not
DHCP enabled.
DHCP can be enabled through the MotionView software for convenience should the operator wish to
configure the drive using a manual (static) IP address and switch over to an automatic (dynamic) address
once configuration is complete. See section 6.2.1.1 for information on enabling DHCP from within the
MotionView software.
NOTE
A useful feature of the MotionView software and communications interface to the
PositionServo drive is the ability to assign the drive a name (text string). This name can
then be used to discover the drive’s IP address and is useful when the drive has its IP
address assigned automatically by the server for easy connection. Refer to section on
MotionView connection window, below.
6.2.2 Configuring the PC IP Address (Windows XP)
NOTE
This section of the manual gives some guidance on how to configure the Ethernet
communications setting on a PC to communicate with a PositionServo drive. Additional
material for other operating systems/platforms may be available from the website or
as an appendix to existing drive documentation. If the drive and PC are both assigned
automatic IP addresses from a DHCP enabled server then configuration of the PC port
should not be necessary.
The following is a step by step guide to configure the PC IP address in Windows XP using either the classic
or category viewing mode.
