Enova DGX 100 Series and Enova DGX 8/16/32/64: Differences
The Enova DGX 100 Series has incorporated a number of technological advancements which resulted in changes that
may be of interest to users of previous Enova DGX products. In order to assist these users, we have included the table
below which captures some of the main system differences (highlighted cells represent changes that may affect
programming code in existing systems).

Possible timing differences (depends on program
variables)
PRD mode
Settable via DIP switch on CPU board inside
enclosure
Settable via DIP switch on CPU faceplate
Device Binding, Addressing, and Network Options
Binding devices to the DGX
Master
Traditional binding only (defaults to NDP)
• Defaults to Auto-setup automatic binding of each
device on the Private LAN (page 28)
• Traditional binding supported if Auto-setup is
disabled in the System Configuration interface Status
page
Device Addressing
Device name given via NDP or specified by
user
• In Auto-setup, endpoints are given an address per
I/O channel (see page 28)
• With Auto-setup disabled, traditional device address
rules apply
Network addressing
• The DGX Master and each endpoint
device consumes an IP address on the
Public LAN
• Endpoint ICSLAN ports pass Public IP
• In Auto-setup, the DGX Master consumes a single
Public IP address but all endpoints are given
predefined Private LAN addresses (see page 28)
• With Auto-setup disabled, each endpoint gets a
Public IP address
• Endpoint ICS LAN ports ONLY pass Public IP
• The Master and switcher always have Private LAN
addresses:
• DGX Master: 198.18.0.1
• DGX Switcher: 198.18.128.1
WARNING: The master Public IP must NEVER use a
198.18.x.x subnet. Doing so will prevent the 5002
device from coming online.
Telnet to Endpoints
Telnet to any point on the Public LAN as long
as the PC is on the Public LAN
In Auto-setup, can ONLY telnet to endpoints when
connected directly to the endpoint’s ICS LAN port so
that your PC receives an IP address on the Private LAN
Internet Protocol Versions and
Network Security
IPv4 only
• IPv4 and IPv6
• Wired 802.1x security for protected networks
