6AC30 EtherNet IP OptionConfigurationThe option requires configuration of the device address and mappingof the process data to the master. The Producer Assembly instancenumber and Consumer Assembly instance number may be changedfrom the defaults if required. Note that some communicationparameters only become active after the AC30 leaves theconfiguration state.The 0044 Comms Required parameter must be set to ETHERNETIP.AddressThere are three methods to set the IP address, subnet mask andgateway address of the device: the slave sets its own address, theaddress is set externally, say be a PLC, or the address is set by aDHCP server. The parameter 0199 Address Assignment is used tochoose the method.If the IP address is set by the slave (Address Assignment = FIXED)then three further parameters must be set. These are:0200 Fixed IP Address0201 Fixed Subnet Mask0202 Fixed Gateway AddressProducing / Consuming Instance NumbersThe Producing Instance Number may be changed from its default of0064h if required using the parameter 0226 ENET Producing InstThe Consuming Instance Number may be changed from its default of0096h if required using the parameter 0227 ENET Consuming InstThe Configuration Instance Number is fixed as 0005h.Process DataThe cyclic I/O data is configured by using the read and write processdata mapping tables in the AC30. These tables are two parameterarrays in which AC30 parameter numbers may be added.At least one AC30 parameter must be mapped to the process data.String-type parameters may not be mapped.Read MappingThe read process data represents cyclic data sent from the PLC to theAC30. Only writable AC30 parameters, that are not configurationparameters, may be added to the read process data.
