Configurable functions
The AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP is configured with the aid of automation software
(e.g. Rockwell RSLogix) via explicit messaging. Explicit messaging is used in EtherNet/IP
for communication that does
not
need to take place in real time. Explicit messaging uses
TCP.
EDS file
The EDS file (electronic data sheet) contains all the information related to the parameters
as well as the operating modes of the AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP. The EDS file is integra-
ted using the EtherNet/IP network configuration tool to be able to configure and place in
operation the AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP.
3.5.1
IP address
For identification of the AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP in the EtherNet/IP, the IP address is
required. This address is acquired for the encoder from a DHCP server or a fixed entry
made using the decade switches.
Acquiring the IP address from a DHCP server
The AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP is set from the factory to obtain the IP address from a
DHCP server. For this purpose the three decade switches under the screw cover on the
AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP (see Fig. 13 on page 37) must be set to 255 … 887 or to
889 … 999.
Setting the IP address
If the IP address is configured fix, only the least significant byte (1 … 254) can be con-
figured. 192.168.1.xxx is preset permanently. The subnet mask is then also fixed at
255.255.255.0, the gateway address 0.0.0.0.
To set a fixed address use the three decade switches (see Fig. 12). The decade switches
are located under the screw cover of the AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP (see Fig. 13 on
page 37).
Set the hundreds for the address using the left decade switch.
Set the decades for the address using the center decade switch.
Set the units for the address using the right decade switch.
Do not set the address to 888 or 000, this setting will reset the encoder to the factory
settings or the last settings saved in the non-volatile memory (see section 3.5.12 on
page 37).
