Allen-Bradley HMIs
Optional Ethernet Communications
Powermonitor 3000 units with a catalog number ending in "-ENT" are
equipped with an optional Ethernet 10BaseT communication port and
a native RS-485 port in a dual-port configuration that allows
simultaneous operation of the ports. You must configure the
communications parameters before you connect your Powermonitor
3000 to an Ethernet network. Use the Display Module under the
PROGRAM > OPTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS menu. See your
network administrator for assistance in setting the communications
options.
Configuration parameters include:
• IP (Internet Protocol) address
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway IP address
• Keep-alive Time (Series A only)
• Protocol Select (Series A only)
The IP Address uniquely identifies your Powermonitor 3000 on the
network. You configure the unit's IP address the way it is most
commonly expressed, as four decimal numbers connected by decimal
points: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. You may set each number (also called byte
or octet) within the range of 0 to 255 decimal. The default IP address
is 128.1.1.x, where x is the factory-assigned Unit ID number. A
Powermonitor 3000 (Series A, only) with an IP address of 0.0.0.0 will
get its operating IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address from
a bootp server on power-up. An IP address of 255.255.255.255 is not
permitted.
The IP address for your Powermonitor 3000 must not
IMPORTANT
conflict with the IP address of any other device on
the network. Contact your network administrator to
obtain a unique IP address for your unit.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary number, which consists of the
network address ("NetID") and the machine address ("HostID"). The
Subnet Mask defines the boundary between the NetID and HostID in
the IP address. Each "1" bit in the subnet mask represents the NetID
and each "0" represents the HostID. Here is an example:
