4.3 Configuration EtherNet/IP stations
Several steps are required in order to produce an operational EtherNet/IP interface.
We recommend the following procedure:
1. Parameterisation and commissioning with the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT).
2. In addition, the following settings on the fieldbus page:
– Automatic assignment via DHCP or IP address, gateway and subnetwork mask and, in the Port
Configuration tab, automatic detection or speed and duplex mode.
– Optional use of FPC and FHPP+ (FHPP+ Editor tab)
3. Linking of the EDS file into the project planning software.
4.3.1 Parameterisation of the Ethernet/IP interface
With the help of the FCT, settings of the EtherNet/IP interface can be read and parameterised. The goal
is to configure the EtherNet/IP interface through the FCT in such a way that the EMCA can build up
EtherNet/IP communication with an EtherNet/IP controller.
The settings of the EtherNet/IP interface can be parameterised in the FCT.
Note
The FCT settings are taken over into the permanent memory of the EMCA only after
“Download”, “Save” and “Restart controller”.
4.3.2 Commissioning with the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT)
Notes on commissioning with the Festo Configuration Tool can be found in the Help for
the device-specific FCT plug-in.
4.3.3 Setting the IP address
A unique IP address must be assigned to each device in the network.
Assignment of already used IP addresses can result in temporary overloading of your
network.
You may need to contact your network administrator for manual assignment of a permiss­
ible IP address.
