The "DHCP" protocol (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is activated as the default
setting for the DFE33B protocol. This means that the DFE33B option card expects its IP
address parameters from a DHCP server.
TIP
Rockwell Automation provides a DHCP server free-of-charge on their homepage.
The tool is known as "BOOTP Utility" and can be downloaded at the link below:
http://www.ab.com/networks/bootp.html.
Once the DHCP server has been configured and the settings have been made for the
subnetwork screen and the standard gateway, the DFE33B must be inserted in the
assignment list of the DHCP server. In doing so, the MAC ID of the DFE33B option is
allocated a valid IP address.
TIP
The configured IP address parameters are adopted permanently by the parameter set
when DHCP is deactivated after the IP address has been assigned.
If the DFE33B was started using a valid IP address, you can also access the IP address
parameters via the Ethernet interface.
The following options are available for changing the IP address parameters via Ethernet:
•
Via the homepage of DFE33B (see section "Integrated Web Server")
•
Using the MOVITOOLS
®
"MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio via Ethernet")
•
Using the EtherNet/IP TCP/IP interface object (see section "EtherNet/IP CIP object
directory")
You can also change the IP address parameters via the serial interface of the gateway
®
or MOVIDRIVE
MDX61B or using the DBG60B keypad (in MOVIDRIVE
If the IP address parameters are assigned to the option DFE33B via a DHCP server, you
can only change the parameters by adjusting the settings of the DHCP server.
The options listed above for changing the IP address parameters only come into effect
once the supply voltages (mains and DC 24 V) have been switched off and back on
again.
