POINT I/O Dual Port EtherNet/IP Adapter
Publication 1734-IN041F-EN-P - May 2019
Set the Chassis Size
The I/O adapters for EtherNet/IP require configuration of their chassis size before you
can make any I/O connections. The factory default setting for the chassis size is one slot,
which represents the adapter by itself.
You must set the chassis size to a number equaling one slot for the adapter plus one slot for
each I/O module present in the backplane of the adapter. For example, if your system
consists of one adapter and four I/O modules, set the chassis size to 5.
Refer to the POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT® I/O Dual Port EtherNet/IP Adapter User
Manual, publication
for instructions on how to set the chassis size.
Set the Network Address
The adapter ships with the pen push thumbwheel switches set to 999 and DHCP enabled.
You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address in the following ways:
•
Use the pen push thumbwheel switches on the adapter.
•
Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell
Automation BootP/DHCP.
•
Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.
The adapter reads the thumbwheel switches first to determine if the switches are set to a
valid number. You set the node address using the 3-position pen push thumbwheel switch
using a pen tip. Press the + or - buttons with a pen tip to change the number.
ATTENTION:
Check the Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC)
to verify the compatibility between your POINT I/O module and the POINT I/O
adapter.
TIP
Press a pen tip into the center of the button cross, perpendicular to
the button. You only need a small amount of force to press the button
(approximately 2 N).
WARNING:
When you change switch settings while power is on, an electrical
arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
