Ethernet Serial Encapsulation Communications Setup
Ethernet Serial Encapsulation
Communications Setup
This topic contains Ethernet Serial Encapsulation communications setup information.
For a typical Ethernet Serial Encapsulation application:
l
Ethernet Serial Encapsulation requires the Class 6 "–EIP" SmartMotor model. Verify that
you have the correct motor.
l
Verify the type of motor addressing being used. Note the following:
l
For dynamic IP (DHCP) addressing (SmartMotor default), there is no need to set
an IP address on the motor.
l
For static IP addressing, you will need to set a static IP address on the motor. For
more details, see Setting the IP Address on page 18.
l
There is no need to open the Ethernet Serial Encapsulation port, it is already open by
default (using TCP port 10001). Therefore, no special program is needed.
l
There is no need for a node ID—the IP address serves as the motor's identification.
Note that the Node ID is typically assumed to be "0" in Ethernet Serial Encapsulation.
