Chapter 3 Configuring the Option Module
Using the PowerFlex 20-HIM-
A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM to
Access Parameters If your drive has an enhanced PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, it
can be used to access parameters in the option module.
1. Display the Status screen, which is shown on HIM powerup.
2. Use the or key to scroll to the Port in which the option
module is installed.
3. Press the PAR# soft key to display the Jump to Param # entry pop-up box.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired parameter number, or use the
or soft key to scroll to the desired parameter number.
For details on viewing and editing parameters, see the PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6/-
C6S HIM (Human Interface Module) User Manual, publication
20HIM-
UM001 .
Setting the Option Module
Node Address When the Node Address switches ( Figure 2 on page 21 ) are set to a value other
than 001…254 or 888, Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] determines the
source for the option module node address. By default, the Node Address
switches are set to 999 and
Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] is set to “3”
(DHCP). This combination selects a DHCP server as the source for the node
address. To use a BOOTP or DHCP server to set the node address, see the
subsection below. To use option module parameters, see
Using Option Module
Parameters on page 36 .
Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server
There is a variety of BOOTP or DHCP servers available. The instructions below
use Rockwell Automation’s BOOTP/DHCP Server, version 2.3 or later, a
free
standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP and
DHCP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from
www.ab.com/
networks/bootp.html . See the Readme file and online Help for directions and
more information.
TIP If the PowerFlex 750-Series drive is connected to a Stratix 6000 or Stratix 8000
managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set for BOOTP mode, the ‘dynamic IP
address assignment by port’ (Stratix 6000) or ‘DHCP persistence’ (Stratix 8000)
feature will set the IP address for the drive. For more details, see the Stratix
6000 Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual, publication
1783-UM001 , or the
Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual,
publication
1783-UM003 .
TIP If you prefer to configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address
using option module parameters, set Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel]
to “1” (Parameters). Then use the appropriate option module parameters. For
details, see
Using Option Module Parameters on page 36 .
