Engineering large plants
The ACS790 software is recommended to engineer large plants, as it can be used
to set all necessary addresses and configuration values.
1. Addressing of area/line couplers and IP router.
2. Set device addresses at bus devices.
3. Additional settings for the IP network in the IP router via ACS790
(see below).
If the area/line couplers and IP routers are addressed before the bus devices, the
bus devices are ready to receive the "area" and "line" components of the address.
To keep communication to a minimum, filter setting "Normal (route)" should be
retained.
IP routers are factory-set to obtain their IP address from a DHCP
1)
server.
ACS allows for manual assignment of the IP address.
1)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
DHCP is a client-server protocol that reduces the
time and effort required to assign IP addresses.
Other IP settings in ACS:
IP routing, multicast addresses
IP subnet mask
IP standard gateway
