Setting the IP address parameters
Initial startup
The "DHCP" protocol (

rotocol) is activated as the default
setting for the DHR41B option. This means that the DHR41B option card expects its IP
address parameters from a DHCP server.
Once the DHCP server has been configured and the settings have been made for the
subnetwork screen and the standard gateway, the DHR41B must be inserted in the as-
signment list of the DHCP server. In doing so, the MAC ID of the DHR41B option is al-
located a valid IP address.
Changing the IP
address parame-
ters after suc-
cessful initial
startup
If the DHR41B was started using a valid IP address, you can also access the IP address
parameters via the Ethernet interface.
The following options are available for changing the IP address parameters via Ethernet:
• With the MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio software via Ethernet
• With the EtherNet/IP TCP/IP interface object
You can also use the DBG60B keypad to change the IP address parameters. To do so,
connect the DBG60B keypad to the serial interface (X24) of the UOH21B compact con-
troller.
If the IP address parameters are assigned to the option DHR41B via a DHCP server,
you can only change the parameters by adjusting the settings of the DHCP server.
The options listed above for changing the IP address parameters only come into effect
once the supply voltages (mains
and
DC 24 V) have been switched off and back on
again.
NOTE
Rockwell Automation provides a DHCP server free-of-charge on their homepage. The
tool is known as "BOOTP Utility" and can be downloaded from the following website:
http://www.ab.com/networks/bootp.html.
NOTE
The configured IP address parameters are permanently adopted into the parameter
set if DHCP is deactivated after the IP address has been assigned.
