2.2
Configure Network Settings
It is generally preferable to configure the network settings last, after all other
settings have been configured. Enabling N04 Net Config will disable local user
configuration access to other settings. Consider using the 'Input' menu to
configure a digital input as 'Local' to allow for local override.
Configure the Smartstart® 6000 network settings before connecting it to a live network as incorrect
settings could disrupt network communications. Use the console buttons to access the 'Network' menu.
Set and review parameters as per the check list. Press [ESC] to exit the menu system. Settings changes
take effect after menu exit and motor off.
2.3
Connect to Network
Before connecting the Smartstart® 6000 to a network, make sure the requirements for shielding,
twisted pairs, signal common, line termination and line polarisation are understood (see section 8
Network Protocol Specifications). The Smartstart® 6000 provides following network terminals.
Smartstart®

17: SCREEN
22: RS485 DATA+
23: RS485 DATA-
24: RS485 COM
Common
ETHERNET PORT
Procedure:
1. Inform system control of task activity (e.g. possible alarms or disruptions)
2. Isolate Smartstart® 6000 (control and power circuits)
3. Wire network cabling to Smartstart® 6000 terminals per above table (Notes 2 and 3)
4. Turn Smartstart® 6000 on and check 'Net' status on the time/date screen (e.g. 'Live')
5. Inform system control of task completion (e.g. ready to provision for new Smartstart®)
Notes:
1. Incorrect configuration can disrupt the network (e.g. address must be unique).
2. Some vendors use A/B naming opposite to the EIA-485 standard.
3. Unplugging the Modbus RS485 connector also breaks the motor thermistor circuit.
2.4
Provision System for new Starter
The Smartstart® 6000 is provisioned into a system by programming and configuring the network client
(e.g. PLC). Information is this guide is provided to assist this process. Once provisioned, check the
time/date screen to confirm Smartstart® 6000 is communicating correctly (e.g. Net status shows
'RxOk').
After the starter is correctly provisioned on the network, it is possible for a
network client to automatically identify and configure the Smartstart® 6000 to
suit the site and application. See chapter 6 for more information.
