Chapter 6 Configure Integrated Motion Using a PowerFlex 527 Drive
Set the Network
Configuration
You can set the network configuration by using the LCD display and drive
keypad.
1. When the LCD display is showing the Device/Axis state, use the keypad
to navigate to SETTINGS -> NETWORK. Then choose either
STATIC IP or DHCP.
The default setting is STATIC IP.
2. If you chose STATIC IP, then you must configure the following settings:
• IP address
•Gateway
•Subnet mask
If you chose DHCP, the DHCP server automatically configures the
three previously listed settings.
Settings are stored in nonvolatile memory. The IP address can also be changed
through the Module Configuration dialog box in RSLinx® Classic software.
Changes to the IP address take effect after power is cycled or reset. The drive is
programmed from the factory to a static IP address of 192.168.1.180.
After setting the network configuration, you can view the drive status
information in Studio 5000 Logix Designer® or RSLinx Classic and use it in
your Logix Designer application.
