Chapter 3 Configuring the Adapter
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 adapter.
1. Display the Status screen, which is shown on HIM powerup.
2. Use the or key to scroll to the Port in which the embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter resides (always Port 13).
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 Adapter IP
Address
When the adapter IP Address switches (Figure 1 on page 19) are set to a value
other than 001…254 or 888, Parameter 36 - [BOOTP] determines the source
for the adapter node address. By default, the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is
configured to set its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address by using a
BOOTP server. To use a BOOTP server to set the node address, see the
procedure in Using a BOOTP Server
. To use adapter parameters, see Using
Adapter Parameters on page 30.
Using a BOOTP Server
There is a variety of BOOTP servers available. The following instructions 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 http://
www.software.rockwell.com/support/download/detail.cfm?ID=3390. See the
Readme file and online Help for directions and more information.
If the PowerFlex 755 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
.
If you prefer to configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address
using adapter parameters, set adapter Parameter 36 - [BOOTP] to ‘0’
(disabled). For details, see Using Adapter Parameters
on page 30.
