29 of 40 Connect to the weld control via the serial network
NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS
The DEP-300s can connect to a weld timer via three separate networks:
Local EtherNet, Global EtherNet and Serial Network.
LOCAL ETHERNET (F2)
In the Local EtherNet mode, the DEP is programmed to communicate
directly with the “local” weld timer that it is physically connected to. In
this mode, the DEP will only communicate to a local timer with an IP
Address of 89.89.200.250. For more information, see Changing the
Local EtherNet IP Address via the Serial Network.
B
Press the LOCAL ETHERNET [F2] key. The DEP will attempt to
connect to the weld timer.
NOTE:
For instructions on how to physically connect the DEP-300s to a weld
timer using Local EtherNet communications, see
“Physical Connections”
on page 11
NOTE:
When the LOCAL ETHERNET [F2] key is pressed, the DEP temporarily
changes its IP Address to 89.89.200.250. This guarantees
communication with the local timer on the network, which has its IP
Address set to 89.89.200.250.
