Device Configuration
NOTE
The Error LED flashes whenever the device is receiving power but is not
connected to a network. The Error LED will flash occasionally during the
configuration process.
4.1
Overview
The Modbus TCP Interface is configured with a static IP address as default. To avoid IP
address conflicts and to ensure successful deployment, we recommend that the device
is connected directly to a PC or laptop to configure the IP address, before connecting
to the network.
4.2
Configuration Methods
•
Ethernet attributes can be configured directly in the device using the on-board web
server. The default address for a new Modbus TCP Interface is 192.168.0.1. The
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The web server will only accept connections
from within the same subnet domain.
Changes made via the on-board web server are stored permanently in the device.
•
If the subnet domain of the device is different from the controller, or if the IP
address has been changed and is no longer known, use the Ethernet Device
Configuration Tool to scan the network and identify the device. Changes made via
the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool cannot be stored permanently in the device
and will be lost when control power is cycled.
4.3
On-board Web Server
To configure settings using the on-board web server, the module must be installed on
a soft starter, control power must be available, and the device and computer must be
connected to each other or to the same Ethernet network.
To configure the device using the on-board web server:
1.
Start a browser on the PC and enter the device address, followed by /ipconfig.
The default address for a new Modbus TCP Interface is 192.168.0.1.
