4.3.1
IP Address mode
The IP mode determines how the drive IP settings are set. If a DHCP server is selected, then the
drive will try to retrieve its IP settings from the DHCP server connected to the local network. If the
drive is unable to retrieve its IP settings, it will set a link-local address as the current IP address
after about one minute (for example 169.x.x.x).
If "Fixed IP" is set as IP mode, the settings from submenu "Fixed IP settings" are used.
In PROFINET network IP settings are usually set by the PLC via DCP protocol during connection
process. When this is happens, IP mode is set to fixed and given settings are stored to "Fixed IP set-
tings".
4.3.2
Active IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
This value cannot be changed. If IP mode is "fixed" then it will display same value as in Fixed IP ad-
dress. If mode is "DHCP", the value is 0.0.0.0 when DHCP is retrieving IP settings or 169.x.x.x if it
could not retrieve an address. Otherwise it shows currently active IP address.
Exception to above is that if IP settings were set from PLC via DCP protocol and PLC set the settings
with flag "temporary", then IP settings are reset during drive startup to "0.0.0.0" and IP mode is still
"Fixed".
4.3.3
MAC address
The MAC address of the control board. MAC address (Media Access Control) is a unique address
given to each network host. It is not editable.
