AC30 series Variable Speed Inverters
Ethernet Setup
CONFIGURATION
To enable communications over the Ethernet an IP address must be set. With the default setting, an attempt at automatically obtaining an IP
address will be made.
Note: The IP address will be obtained or modified when an Ethernet cable is connected or the inverter is powered-up.
For the AC30P or AC30D if one port is already connected to a network, the IP address of the inverter will not be modified when the other port is
connected to a network.
The state of the Ethernet can be monitored using the parameter 0919 Ethernet State and from the Ethernet icon on the GKP status bar.
The current IP settings of the inverter can be monitored using the following parameters:
0926 IP Address
0927 Subnet Mask
0928 Gateway Address
The MAC address of the Ethernet port is fixed at the factory and can be read using the parameter 0945 MAC Address
ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
The IP address on the inverter may be set using the following methods:

Manually to a fixed address

Automatically by a DHCP server connected on the network

Automatically by the inverter to a link-local address using Auto-IP (also known as Automatic Private IP Addressing)
The parameters 0929 DHCP and 0930 Auto IP are used to determine how the IP address is set. The default of these two parameters is TRUE.
The parameter 0936 Setting Lock , when set to TRUE, prevents a configuration tool from modifying the IP settings.
