Figure 66 Setup Tcp/Ip Communication Over Ethernet - ABB XSeriesG4 User Manual

Click Entry from the toolbar. When the Entry screen displays, the connection over Ethernet is successful.
Click Close to exit connection or continue to use the Ethernet connection for further configuration of the XFC.
5.4.3 Enable and configure Ethernet for network connection with hosts
Connecting the XFC to a network requires the configuration of valid IP parameters, such as the IP address, gateway and subnet
mask. IP parameter configuration is either manual (static addressing) or automatic (dynamic addressing):
— For manual configuration, obtain IP parameters (static addresses) from your IT administrator and type the values in the
required fields. Static addresses are permanent and remain in the device unless configuration is changed. The IP address
must be unique (reserved for the device).
— For automatic configuration, enable DHCP. The XFC auto-populates the values in the required fields. This addressing
mechanism requires that the network connection is active and that a DHCP server on the corporate network is active. If the
flow computer is unable to connect to a DHCP server, it will not be able to configure its IP address and hosts will not be
able to connect to the XFC.
To enable and configure Ethernet:
Establish a local connection to the Entry screen as described in section 5.3, Establishing Initial Local Communication.
Connect the XFC Ethernet port to the network equipment (switch) with the Ethernet cable.
Select Communications> Network tab from the navigation tree. The Network screen displays with options to
configure the Ethernet port or Network Adaptor.
In the Network ID field, type a name that helps to identify the device uniquely (Figure 67).
Set Network Adaptor to Enable (Figure 67).
