Initial Operation and User Interface
51/121
Operating Manual dryve D1, ST-, DC-, EC/BLDC-Motor Control System - V2.4
5.6 Communication
Configuration of the different communication forms with a web browser and higher-level automation controllers.
5.6.1 Ethernet TCP/IP
Configuration of Ethernet TCP/IP communication.
The IP address can be assigned automatically or manually.
The following methods are available for automatic assignment of the IP address.
•
Zeroconf method (direct connection of a laptop to the dryve)
•
DHCP (connection of PC to the dryve via router)
If the IP address is assigned manually, you must specify an IP address,
subnet mask and a standard gateway that match your network.
"Automatic IP" has been preselected as the standard
Setting
Description
Automatic IP / Manual IP
Selection of IP address assignment method
IP Address
Specification of the manual IP Address, e.g. 169.254.0.10
Subnetwork Mask
Specification of the subnet mask, e.g. 255.255.255.0
Standard Gateway
Specification of the standard gateway, e.g. 169.254.0.1
Host Name
Specification of the plain-text designation of the dryve D1 control system. Used as an
alternative to the IP Address (a router with DNS server required).
Ethernet Settings Adoption
A reboot causes the made Ethernet Communication changes to be activated. For this
purpose, it is necessary that DI 7 "Enable" has been revoked. In the case of
"Automatic IP", an address change can occur. This depends on the connected PC or
router.
NOTE
In the case of automatic IP address assignment, it is possible that another IP address will be specified for the dryve
whenever the dryve is restarted or a new connection with a network is established.
This is due to the settings of your computer or your router/network.
NOTE
A reboot of the dryve D1 is only possible if DI 7 "Enable" has been revoked.
NOTE
The IP address is displayed anew after the ethernet connector is plugged out and in again
NOTE
If you encounter any problems when configuring the Ethernet TCP/IP settings, please contact your network administrator to
clarify whether the configuration used by you is compatible with the available networks.
NOTE
If HTTP is used for communication, the password is transmitted unsecured. This can lead to many and/or periodic
connection losses in combination with certain anti-virus and firewall software. This issue can be solved by adopting/configure
said software.
