Chapter 2 PointMax Adapter Power Requirements Backplane Power (BP) The backplane power is generated from module power by the adapter and expansion power . It internally powers the I/O modules in the system. Rockwell Automation, Inc. Publication 5034-UM001A-EN-P - April 2025...
DHCP each time that power is cycled. PointMax adapters support the following methods to set/change the network address: Rotary Switches • FactoryTalk® Linx Software • BOOTP/DHCP utility • Ethernet/IP commissioning tool • Secure web server • Publication 5034-UM001A-EN-P - April 2025 Rockwell Automation, Inc.
IMPORTANT: To use the BOOTP/DHCP tool, you must know the Ethernet hardware address (MAC ID) of your module. Rockwell Automation assigns each module a unique 48-bit hardware address at the factory. The address is printed on a label on the side of your module. It consists of six hexadecimal digits that are separated by colons. This address is fixed by the hardware and cannot be changed.
The PointMax EtherNet/IP adapter supports two types of network redundancy: DLR (Device Level Ring) • PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) • In these modes, all EtherNet/IP ports of the adapter are used to provide redundant network paths. Publication 5034-UM001A-EN-P - April 2025 Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Page 19
IMPORTANT: You cannot switch the network redundancy mode while the adapter is running. A minor recoverable fault occurs to warn about the unintentional change to the network redundancy mode. Rockwell Automation, Inc. Publication 5034-UM001A-EN-P - April 2025...
