Chapter 3 – Configuration
Install NetEdit3 Software
NetEdit3 Software is provided on the CD-R enclosed with the SJ-EN option board. This software is required to
configure the board. It can also be used to update the SJ-EN firmware in the event of a future update. NetEdit3
® ®
is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows NT4.
In Windows, run the program "SetupNE3.exe" on the CD-R to install the program. Follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the installation.
Configuration of the SJ-EN Board
Ensure that the SJ-EN is properly installed as described in Chapter 2. Attach a standard Ethernet Crossover cable
to the RJ45 connector on the SJ-EN. Connect the other end to the RJ45 port of a Windows PC with an Ethernet
adapter installed. If connecting the SJ-EN to a hub, switch or router, use a patch (straight-through) cable instead.
For best results, use Category 5, commercial quality cables rated for 10BaseT applications.
There are 8 DIP-switches on the SJ-EN board (see Figure 2-1). Switches 6 and 7 are not used. Switches 0 to 5
may be used to set a 6-bit binary number representing 000001 to 111111 binary or 1 to 63 in decimal, for a
device (module) ID. However, for normal Modbus/TCP use, switches 0-5 should all be set to ZERO (off). When
configured that way, the device ID is obtained from board's FLASH memory. The value will be programmed
into the SJ-EN flash memory by means of the NetEdit3 software; this ID can be any 32-bit binary value (i.e. 0 to
4,294,967,295 decimal).
Make sure that all wiring is secure in the inverter, and that the power connections are free and clear. Be sure to
separate power wiring from control wiring. If they have to be crossed, be sure that they cross at a right angle.
Connect the inverter to the PC Ethernet port, and that the PC is started and running Windows. Power up the
inverter, and observe the LEDs on the SJ-EN board. The STATUS LED should be illuminated, and the LINK,
ACTIVITY, RXD and TXD LEDs should be blinking (may appear as though ON continuously, due to high blink
rate). The red ERROR LED should NOT be illuminated. See Chapter 4 for detailed description of LED
functions. If the LED conditions are not correct, proceed to Chapter 5 for Troubleshooting. If you power up the
inverter before powering up the PC, an error code may appear. After powering up the PC and properly
connecting the cable, you should be able to clear the error with the STOP/RESET key on the inverter keypad.
If the LEDs are correct, power down the inverter again. After the inverter CHARGE LED has extinguished,
replace the covers on the inverter and reinstall the keypad. Then you can power up the inverter and continue
with the configuration.
Set Up the SJ-EN with NetEdit3
With the inverter powered up and the Ethernet cable connected from the SJ-EN to your PC, launch the NetEdit3
program. Figure 3-1 shows the initial screen on program start-up. Should an error code appear on the inverter
display at power-up, simply press the STOP/RESET key on the keypad to clear it.
