Start Up Chapter 1
Establishing A Connection With
EtherNet/IP There are three methods for configuring the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter’s IP
address:
• Adapter Rotary Switches – Use the switches when working on a simple,
isolated network (for example, 192.168.1.xxx) that has other products
with switches to set their IP addresses, does not need to be accessed from
outside the network, and you prefer a simplified node addressing method.
The three adapter switches are read when the drive powers up, and
represent three decimal digits from top to bottom (see
Figure 2 ). If set to a
valid address (001-254), the adapter will use that value as the lower octet of
its IP address (192.168.1.xxx, where xxx = rotary switch settings), along
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and there will be no gateway
configured. Also, the setting for adapter P36 [BOOTP] is automatically
ignored.
See Figure 2 and its accompanying table for all possible switch settings and
their related descriptions.
• BOOTP Server – Use BOOTP if you prefer to control the IP addresses of
devices using a server. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses
will then be provided by the BOOTP server.
• Adapter Parameters – Use adapter parameters when you want more
flexibility in setting up the IP address, or need to communicate outside the
control network using a gateway. The IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway addresses will then come from the adapter parameters you set.
IMPORTANT The Status Indicator LEDs on the HIM cradle do not indicate the current status of an
installed Communication Adapter option. If an optional Communication Adapter is
installed, refer to that option’s user manual for a description of LED location and
indication.
IMPORTANT When using the adapter rotary switches, set the IP address before power is applied
because the adapter uses the IP address it detects when it first receives power.
IMPORTANT Regardless of the method used to set the adapter’s IP address, each node on the
EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To change an IP address, you
must set the new value and then remove and reapply power to (or reset) the adapter.
