9.19.4 Setting the IP Address AKD-B, AKD-P, AKD-T
The IP address can be flashed across the LED display if the B1 button is pressed.
You can use the rotary switches to set the IP address of the AKD. For CANopen and some
other fieldbuses, the rotary switches also set the node address of the drive for that specific
network.
Rotary Switch Setting Drive IP Address
00
DHCP/AutoIP address. The IP address of the drive is obtained
from the DHCP server on your network. If no DHCP server is
found the IP addresses is an AutoIP address (it is internally gen-
erated following the AutoIP protocol and will be of the form
169.254.xx.xx).
01 to 99
Static IP Address. The IP address is 192.168.0.nn, where nn is the
number from the rotary switch. This setting generates addresses in
a range from 192.168.0.
1
to 192.168.0.
99
. Example:if S1 is set to 2
and S2 is set to 5 – the IP address is 192.168.0.25
The PC subnet mask must be set to 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.255.128
When connecting the AKD directly to a PC, use static IP addressing (not 00).
Static IP addressing
When connecting the drive directly to a PC, static IP addressing must be used. Set rotary
switches S1 and S2 to a number different from 00 (see table above).
Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP and Auto-IP)
With S1 and S2 both set to 0, the drive is in DHCP mode. The drive will acquire its IP
address from an external DHCP server if present in the network. If a DHCP server is not
present, the drive will assume an Automatic Private IP Address of the form 169.254.x.x.
If your PC is directly connected to the drive, and set to obtain an IP address automatically in
the TCP/IP settings, a connection will be established with both devices using compatible
automatically generated addresses. It can take up to 60 seconds for a PC to configure an
Automatic Private IP Address (169.254.x.x).
Changing the IP address
If the switches are altered while 24 V Logic power is supplied to the drive, you must switch
off and then switch on again the 24 V supply voltage. This action will reset the address.
