● Setting of Write Protect Switch
The write protect function is to prevent the overwriting of
parameters.
Write protection can be carried out using either the write
protection switch (SW1-2) (See Figure 6.3.1) or software
function with parameter setting. If either of these items is
activated, the overwriting of parameters will be prohibited.

NOTE
• If the hardware switch is set to “ON”, the condition
of preventing parameter overwriting kept until the
switch is set to “OFF”.
• For the software write protect, read the user’s
manual of applicable communication type as listed
in Table 1.1.
● Setting of Address Switch (ADDRESS)
The device IP address can be set using either the
address switch (ADDRESS) (See Figure 6.3.2) or
software parameters.
The Address Switch (ADDRESS) is used to set the 4
th
octet (8 bits) of the IP address. The 1
st
, 2
nd
and 3
rd
octets
of the IP address are set by software parameters. The
4
th
octet of the address which is set by this switch
(ADDRESS) is enabled when the Enable hardware
switch (SW3-1) is set to ON. When the Enable hardware
switch (SW3-1) is set to OFF, the 4
th
octet of the IP
address set by this switch (ADDRESS) is disabled, and
the 4th octet of the address set by software parameter is
enabled.

Setting range: 1 to 244
If all switches are set to “OFF” or “ON”,
the device IP address (4th octet) is
automatically converted to 210.
Setting example:
If only the address switch “position 7” is set to 1, the
device IP address (4
th
octet) is 128.

● Setting DHCP Switch (SW3-2)
The DHCP switch (See Figure 6.3.4) is used to enable or
disable DHCP function. The DHCP function is enabled
or disabled by this switch when Enable hardware switch
(SW3-1) is set to ON. When the Enable hardware
switch (SW3-1) is set to OFF, the setting by this switch
is disabled and DHCP function is enabled or disabled by
software parameter.
