6 Commissioning
6.1 General
This chapter shows a configuration example of the Wachendorff EtherNet/IP encoder.
The example is carried out with the Rockwell Studio 5000 software (Ver. 32.00). The
device is in DHCP mode by default, we recommend to perform the commissioning with
the tools installed in the course of Studio 5000.
•
If you have converted a Universal Industrial Ethernet Encoder
into an EtherNet/IP device, then the device is not in DHCP
mode, but has a fixed IP address (default: 192.168.1.127).
6.2 Deactivating DHCP mode and assigning an IP address
If you have not done so yet, then you should now first of all install Studio 5000 with all
additional components.
On a free Ethernet network card, you should set a static IP address. A setting in the
address range 192.168.1.XXX is recommended, because the default IP address of the
encoder is also in this address range (192.168.1.127).
If you have done this, start the tool "BootP DHCP EtherNet/IP Commissioning Tool",
which was installed during the Studio 5000 installation. Now select the previously
selected network card. After a short waiting time the encoder will appear in the upper
window.
