UFS8000 Ethernet 69
14. Ethernet
Attention ! This chapter only applies to control unit type UFS8x1x-xxxx.
The controller is suitable for communicating via Ethernet. The web server on the controller allows
information to be exchanged with the controller via a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) (see
also § 22 “Internet” on page 91).
In order to adapt the controller the Ethernet connection has to be set correctly.
This chapter will explain how the Ethernet
connection can be set.
The Ethernet menu is located in the main
menu.
14.1. Configuration
14.1.1. DHCP function
The controller has a “DHCP” function. This function is enabled when option “Autom.IP (DHCP)” has
been activated. When the controller starts up, a check is made for roughly 5 seconds to see if a
DHCP server is available on the network and if an IP address is automatically assigned. If there is no
DHCP server the set IP address is used (see § 14.1.2 “IP address” on page 69). In that case the
“Autom.IP (DHCP)” option should be turned off.
If the IP address is automatically assigned via an DHCP server, the IP address is read off via the
information menu (see § 10.10 “Ethernet” on page 62).
14.1.2. IP address
The IP address is the controller's address within the network to which the controller is connected.
The first 3 numbers are normally the same for all connected components on the network.
The final number has to be unique within the network.
In the window the IP address is entered after “IP”.
The controller also has a DHCP function (see § 14.1.1
“DHCP function” on page 69) to check if the controller is
automatically assigned an IP address from a DHCP-server (in
a router, for example).
If this is the case, the IP address set here is not used. The automatically assigned number can be
read off in the information menu (see § 10.10 “Ethernet” on page 62).
