Communication

Native Ethernet
Communication

All PowerMonitor 5000 units are equipped with a native EtherNet/IP 100 BaseT
communication port. This section describes EtherNet/IP communication and
the available protocols to use for your application.

The Ethernet communication port allows communication with your power
monitor by using a local-area-network (LAN). The Ethernet port can be used to
view the unit’s internal webpage.

The PowerMonitor 5000 unit communicates through Ethernet or EtherNet/IP
drivers in RSLinx® Classic software, and through explicit messages from Rockwell
Automation controllers communicating via an EtherNet/IP network.

Setup

Setup parameters for the Ethernet native communication port are found in the
Configuration.Comunications_Native table. Addresses in this list are expressed
as A.B.C.D where A is the first octet of the IP address or subnet mask, for
example, 192.168.200.101.

IP_Address_Obtain

Selects the IP Address at startup. These are the values:

0 = Static IP
1 = DHCP (default)

These are the semantics:

This table displays the setup parameters for the native Ethernet port whether
Static or DHCP is selected. If Static is selected, the value of parameters in this
table defines the port settings.

IP_Address_A
IP_Address_B
IP_Address_C
IP_Address_D

Ethernet port Internet Protocol (IP) address.
