dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached
devices.
Be aware that a DHCP server typically assigns a finite lease time to the offered IP
address. When 50 percent of the leased time has expired, the module will attempt
to renew its IP address with the DHCP server. The module could be assigned a
different IP address, which would cause communicating with the ControlLogix
controller to cease.
Chapter Summary and
What’s Next
In this chapter, you learned how to configure the module to communicate on
your EtherNet/IP network by providing an IP address, gateway address, and
Subnet mask. The next chapter describes an example application in which you
configure discrete I/O.
ATTENTION: To avoid unintentional control, the module must be
assigned a fixed IP address. The IP address of this module should not be
dynamically provided. If a DHCP server is used, it must be configured to
assign a fixed IP address for your module.
ATTENTION: Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended
machine motion or loss of process control.
