2.2 PC and an Internet Browser
Although a PC is not technically required to show EtherNet/IP communication with this demo, it is a
perfect opportunity to demonstrate the EtherNet/IP card’s webpage. Looking at the webpage also
confirms that the card is properly functioning.
Configure the PC’s IP address to be compatible with the EtherNet/IP card (use 192.168.1.19 as
instructed). Please make sure to write down the existing IP settings so you can properly re-connect to
your home/office network. You will have to return your PC’s IP settings to their original settings after the
EtherNet/IP demonstration.
Direct any Internet browser to the card by directly typing 192.168.1.20 into the search bar. The card’s web
page should pull up indicating a properly functioning PC and EtherNet/IP card.
Note: Do not re-configure the EtherNet/IP card. You should show the customer the configuration tab,
but do not make changes. If changes are made, please reset the card.
While leaving the Internet browser connection open, launch DriveWizard
® Industrial as this contains the
latest features pertaining to Internet connections.
2.3 EtherNet/IP Demo Case
The EtherNet/IP demo case is designed to be very easy to operate. Make sure the drive demo is powered
and its Cat-5 EtherNet cable is connected to the EtherNet/IP demo case. After power is applied to the
EtherNet/IP demo case, the demo will need several minutes for the PLC and HMI touch screen to
complete their boot-up routines. After boot-up is complete, the HMI touch screen should have no errors
(should display “Drive Ready”) and show several buttons: Start, Stop, FWD/REV, Running Status, and 3
Monitors. Section 3 of this manual will discuss the manipulation of the EtherNet/IP demo. Specific
discussion points regarding EtherNet/IP will be discussed in section 4 of this manual.
3.0 Demonstrating EtherNet Connectivity
Use the HMI touch screen to set a frequency reference by tapping on the frequency reference numeric
display. This will bring up a numeric keypad. Use the CLR button to zero out the existing reference. Next set a
frequency reference between 2.0 and 60.0 Hz. Finish by tapping the ENT key.
You should now be able to start, stop and change the direction of the motor using the appropriate buttons on
the touch screen. The monitors should reflect your actions. The customer needs to understand that the HMI is
communicating your actions to the PLC using the EtherNet/IP protocol over standard EtherNet hardware
(switch, CAT-5 cable, etc.). The PLC in turn is communicating your actions to the drive using the EtherNet/IP
protocol.
While you are using the touch screen to control the drive, pull up the drive’s webpage on the PC. Select the
“Drive Diagnostics” button to display 15 of the drive’s monitors. These monitors should reflect your actions of
starting, stopping, and reversing the drive.
The latest rev of DriveWizard
® Industrial software can also be opened up on your PC and connected to one of
the four ports on the demo to demonstrate remote access as well. This ability to control and monitor remotely
from multiple sources is radically different from all non-EtherNet interfaces. For the first time, it is practical
(and relatively easy) to monitor drives located around the globe from a single office.
