INFORMATION
The VACON
®
AC drives can be connected to the Ethernet networks using the VACON
®
OPTEA
Advanced Dual Port Ethernet fieldbus option board (OPTEA) and the VACON
®
OPTE9 Dual Port
Ethernet fieldbus option board (OPTE9). The drives can be daisy chained by utilizing two Ethernet
ports. The option boards support PROFINET IO, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP and Modbus UDP fieldbus
protocols. The Advanced Dual Port Ethernet board (OPTEA) also supports PROFINET IO with
PROFIsafe in combination with OPTBL/OPTBM/OPTBN option board. In addition, OPTEA also
supports advanced features such as PROFINET System Redundancy "S2". OPTEA can be used alone
as PROFINET IO device, but PROFIsafe always requires OPTBL/OPTBM/OPTBN option board and
VACON
®
NXP control too. The following network topologies are supported. See details in
Chapter 4.4 "Connections and wiring".

Every appliance connected to an Ethernet network has two identifiers: a MAC address and an IP
address. The MAC address (Address format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) is unique for each appliance and
cannot be changed.The Ethernet board’s MAC address can be found on the sticker attached to the
board. “EtherNet/IP

is a trademark of ODVA, Inc.
In a local network, IP addresses can be defined by the user as long as all the units connected to the
network are given the same network portion of the address. Overlapping IP addresses cause
conflicts between appliances. For more information about setting IP addresses, see Chapter 6
"Commissioning".

Abbreviation
Explanation
ACD
Address Conflict Detection
CRC
Cyclic Redundancy Check is an error-detecting code commonly used in
fieldbusses to detect accidental changes to raw data.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used for dynamical resolving of net-
work configuration parameters like an IP address.

Modbus TCP /
Modbus UDP
Simple and vendor-neutral communication protocol intended for monitoring
and controlling of field devices.
PDI

Profinet IO
Profinet is a standard for industrial automation in Ethernet network. Profi-
net IO describes the exchange of data between controllers and field devices.
