Configure and Start up the Kinetix 350 Drive System Chapter 5
Configure the IP Address Automatically (Dynamic Address)
When connecting a Kinetix 350 drive to a network domain with a DHCP
enabled server, the IP address of the Kinetix 350 drive is assigned automatically.
To have the address that is assigned automatically, the drive must have its
DHCP mode enabled. Follow these steps by using the drive keypad and
display.
1. Press .
2. Use the to access parameter DHCP.
3. Check that this parameter is set to 1.
4. If the DHCP parameter is set to 0, use and to set the parameter
to 1.
5. Cycle power to the drive to make this change take effect.
When the Kinetix 350 drive is waiting for an IP address to be assigned to it by
the server it displays ‘----‘ in each of the four octet parameters (IP_1, IP_2,
IP_3, and IP_4) on its display. Once the address is assigned by the server, it
appears in these parameters. If this parameter continues to display ‘----‘, then it
is likely that a connection between the drive and server has not been
established, or the server is not DHCP enabled.
DHCP can be enabled through the Logix Designer application. If you choose
to configure the drive by using a manual (static) IP address, you can switch over
to an automatic (dynamic) address once configuration is complete. See Obtain
the Kinetix 350 Drives’ Current Ethernet Settings on page 81 for information
on how to enable the DHCP from within the Logix Designer application.
TIP A useful feature of the Logix Designer application and communication
interface to the Kinetix 350 drive is the ability to assign the drive a name
(text string). This name can then be used to discover the drive’s IP address
and is useful when the drive has its IP address that is assigned automatically
by the server for easy connection.
