Introduction - Vacon NX OPTCP User Manual

Introduction

INTRODUCTION
1.
Vacon NX frequency converters can be connected to Ethernet using an Ethernet fieldbus board
OPTCP.
The OPTCP can be installed in board slots D or E.
Every appliance connected to an Ethernet network has two identifiers; a MAC address and an IP ad-
dress. The MAC address (Address format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ) is unique to the appliance and cannot be
changed. The Ethernet board's MAC address can be found on the sticker attached to the board or by
using the Vacon IP tool software NCIPConfig. You can find the software installation at
www.vacon.com
In a local network, IP addresses can be defined by the user as long as all units connected to the net-
work are given the same network portion of the address. For more information about IP addresses,
contact your Network Administrator. Overlapping IP addresses cause conflicts between appliances.
For more information about setting IP addresses, see Section 3, Installation.
Internal components and circuit boards are at high potential when the frequency
converter is connected to the power source. This voltage is extremely dangerous
and may cause death or severe injury if you come into contact with it.
