IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Communication
ADDvantage-32 PLUS
8-7
The Ethernet IP address can be assigned to the ADDvantage-32 PLUS drive by either the
“HARD SET” or “DRIVE ID BASED” method.
The “HARD SET” IP address method has all four fields of the IP address set by drive
calibration parameters in the “DRIVE CALIBRATE” menu. The four calibration parameters
that define the IP Address are “IP ADDR HI”, “IP ADDR HM”, “IP ADDR LM” and “IP
ADDR LO”. Note that IP ADDR LO must not be set to 256 for the “HARD SET” method. Be
aware that if the “HARD SET” IP method is used, the DRIVE ID is still required for ADDAPT
2000 operation.
The “DRIVE ID” BASED address method is the same as the HARD SET IP, with the
following exception: IP ADDR LO must be set to 256. The drive will then use the DRIVE ID
as set by the hard wired jumpers for the number in the lowest octet field of the IP ADDRESS.
The reason for the DRIVE ID BASED address is to allow the drive to have a default
ETHERNET IP address that will allow ETHERNET communications from an initial power up
without any edit of drive cal data. The default IP ADDRESS for any drive is: 10.1.206.LAN
ID. The ADDvantage-32 PLUS Drive reads the DRIVE ID jumper configuration on power up
and displays the DRIVE ID as “DRIVE COM ID” in the “DIAGNOSTICS” menu. Changes to
the DRIVE ID jumpers require a drive reset or power cycle before the new DRIVE ID takes
effect.
An example of a DRIVE ID BASED address:
DRIVE ID = 12
IP ADDR HI = 10
IP ADDR HM = 1
IP ADDR LM = 206
IP ADDR LO = 256
This would result in an actual drive IP ADDRESS = 10.1.206.12
8.3.2 ADDvantage-32 PLUS DRIVE ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
The ADDvantage-32 PLUS Application software P/N 696xxx support Ethernet. A valid IP
Address, Subnet Mask (MSK), and Gateway (GWY) Address must be entered for their
respective “X” parameters in the “Drive Calibrate” menu. These numbers will be the same for
all drives in a system except for the last octet (LO address) of the IP Address (if the 256
DRIVE ID address method is used, they can all match). It will be necessary to manually set the
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Machine NO parameters of a spare drive or
Microprocessor board that is installed to replace a failed drive. Until these parameters are
correctly set for the replacement drive, the drive will not communicate correctly over
