ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller

DHCP IP Support

ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller Getting Started 19

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns

IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.

When DHCP is enabled (factory default Enabled), the unit will request its network configuration from a DHCP/BOOTP server. Any configuration received from a DHCP server will be stored in non-volatile memory.

ArmorStart EtherNet/IP will remember the last successful address if DHCP is enabled. The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP address, which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the

ControlLogix® controller.

Internal Web Server

ArmorStart Ethernet/IP internal web server allows you to view information and configure the ArmorStart via a web browser. The embedded web server is used to access configuration and status data. Security in the form of an administrative password can be set. The default Login is Administrator. There is no password

set by default.

IMPORTANT

Caution: The user should set the password to a unique value for authorized personnel. If the Login and password are lost you will need to reset the device to factory defaults losing its configuration.

To access the internal web browser, open your computers internet browser and enter the IP address of the desired ArmorStart (192.168.1.1).

Parameter Configuration

ArmorStart Ethernet/IP embedded web server provides the user the ability to view and modify the device configuration without having to access RSLogix 5000.

To view the device configuration from the web server, select the Parameters folder. For the parameter configuration, the user will login through the

Administrative Settings or when prompted.

E-mail Notification Configuration

ArmorStart Ethernet/IP internal web server will support the e-mailing of warning and trip messages via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The configuration parameters for the SMTP Server’s IP address, user login, and port number are configurable through the Administrative Settings page of the internal web server. The user will configure the device name, device description, and device trip type.

Figure 29 – E-mail Notification Configuration

Publication 280E-QS001B-EN-P – February 2011

E-mail triggers:

– When a trip occurs.

– When a trip is cleared.

– When a warning occurs.

– When a warning is cleared.

Note:

“Cleared Event” e-mails will only be sent when all events have been cleared and if an trip event e-mail has previously been sent. For example, if the device is configured to send e-mails when a phase loss trip is detected and an overload trip is detected, no e-mail will be sent when the overload is cleared.
