Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel
familiar with drive and power products and the associated machinery should
plan or implement the installation, start up, configuration, and subsequent
maintenance of the drive using this embedded adapter. Failure to comply may
result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of equipment damage exists. The embedded adapter
contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that can be damaged if
you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are
required when handling the adapter. If you are unfamiliar with static control
procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage (publication 8000-
4.5.2)
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is
transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the
adapter. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting the adapter.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Drive parameters
C143 [EN Comm Flt Actn] and C144 [EN Idle Flt Actn] let you determine the
action of the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter and drive if I/O communication is
disrupted, the controller is idle, or explicit messaging for drive control is
disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You may configure these
parameters so that the drive continues to run, however, precautions should be
taken to ensure that the settings of these parameters do not create a risk of
injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your
system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected
cable or a controller in idle state).
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there may be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial system
testing.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this
publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many
variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Setting Up the Adapter
Since the EtherNet/IP adapter is embedded on the Main Control Board in the
PowerFlex 525 drive, the only required step is setting its IP address and
connecting it to the network.

Preparing for Set-Up
Before setting up the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter:
• Make sure the Ethernet switch is the correct type. A “managed” switch that
supports IGMP snooping is usually recommended. An “unmanaged”
switch can be used instead if RSLogix 5000 (version 18 or greater) is used
and all devices on the network are configured for “unicast” I/O. For more
details, see the following documents:
– EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual
(ODVA publication 148)
– EtherNet/IP Network Infrastructure Guidelines
(ODVA publication 35)
– Ethernet Design Considerations Reference Manual
(Rockwell Automation publication ENET-RM002
• Understand IGMP Snooping/Ethernet Switches
The embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is a multicast device. In most
situations, an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than
one or two embedded EtherNet/IP adapters are connected to the switch, a
managed switch is required—otherwise the drive may fault on a Net I/O
Timeout network loss. The embedded EtherNet/IP adapter,
RSLogix 5000 (version 18 or greater), and a ControlLogix or
CompactLogix controller will support unicast. Unicast setup is required
when adding the drive to the I/O. When all embedded EtherNet/IP
adapters are set up as unicast devices, then an IGMP snooping (managed)
switch is not needed.
)
Much of EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging uses IP multicast to
distribute I/O control data, which is consistent with the CIP producer/
consumer model. Historically, most switches have treated multicast
packets the same as broadcast packets. That is, all multicast packets are retransmitted to all ports.
Rockwell Automation Publication 520COM-UM001B-EN-E - March 201317
Chapter 2Setting Up the Adapter
IMPORTANT
IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically
configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to ports
associated with a particular IP multicast group.
Switches that support IGMP snooping (managed switches) “learn” which
ports have devices that are part of a particular multicast group and only
forward the multicast packets to the ports that are part of the multicast
group.
Be careful as to what level of support a switch has of IGMP snooping.
Some layer 2 switches that support IGMP snooping require a router
(which could be a layer 3 switch) to send out IGMP polls to learn what
devices are part of the multicast group. Some layer 2 switches can use
IGMP snooping without a router sending polls. If your control system is a
stand-alone network or is required to continue performing if the router is
out of service, make sure the switch you are using supports IGMP
snooping without a router being present.

• Verify that you have all required equipment. See Required Equipment

Setting the IP Address
Connecting the Adapter to
the Network
There are two methods for configuring the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter’s IP
address:
• BOOTP Server – Use BOOTP if you prefer to control the IP addresses of
devices using a BOOTP server. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
addresses will then be provided by the BOOTP server. This is enabled by
default.
• Parameters – Use parameters when you want more flexibility in setting up
the IP address, or need to communicate outside the control network using
a gateway. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses will then
come from the parameters you set.
Regardless of the method used to set the adapter’s IP address, each node on
the network must have a unique IP address. To change an IP address, you must
set the new value and then remove and reapply power to (or reset) the drive.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may contain
high voltages that can cause injur y or death. Remove power from the drive, and
then verify power has been discharged before connecting the embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter to the network.
1. Remove power from the drive.
2. Remove the drive control module cover.

Applying Power
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death exists. Unpredictable
operation may occur if you fail to verify that parameter settings are compatible
with your application. Verify that settings are compatible with your application
before applying power to the drive.
Install the control module cover, and apply power to the drive. The embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter receives its power from the drive. When you apply power to
the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter for the first time, the “ENET” status
indicator on the drive LCD display should remain steady after an initialization. If
it does not light up or is flashing, there is a problem. See Chapter 8

Configuring/Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 525 drive can be separately configured for the control and
Reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the
drive to have its control come from a peripheral or terminal block with the
Reference coming from the network. Or you could set the drive to have its
control come from the network with the Reference coming from another
peripheral or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both its control
and Reference come from the network.
Configuring the drive parameters can be done using the drive’s keypad, a HIM,
RSLogix 5000/Logix Designer, or Connected Components Workbench. In the
following example, the drive will receive the Logic Command and Reference
from the network.
1. Set the value of drive parameter P046 [Start Source 1]
to 5 “EtherNet/IP”.
2. Set the value of drive parameter P047 [Speed Reference1]
to 15 “EtherNet/IP”.
The PowerFlex 525 drive supports up to three control functions and
three Reference functions.

Commissioning the Adapter
To commission the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, you must set a unique IP
address. See the Glossary
server or parameters to set the IP address after connecting the adapter to the
network and applying power to the drive.
By default, the adapter is configured to accept an IP address from a BOOTP
server. For details, see Using BOOTP
parameters, see Setting the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address
page 29.
New settings for some parameters (for example, parameters C129 [EN IP

By default, the adapter is configured to accept an IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address from a BOOTP server. You can select from a variety of BOOTP
utilities.
The instructions below use the DHCP/BOOTP Utility (version 2.3 or greater),
a free stand-alone program from Rockwell Automation that incorporates the
functionality of standard DHCP/BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It
is available from http://www.ab.com/networks/ethernet/bootp.html
. See the
Readme file and online Help for directions and more information.
If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway address using parameters. For details, see Setting the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 29.

Configuring the Adapter Using DHCP/BOOTP Utility
1. Verify and note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC), which
will be used in Step 6. There are two ways to do this:
• Use the PowerFlex 525 drive’s keypad or a HIM to access the diagnostic
parameters of the drive. Scroll to parameters F687 [HW Addr 1]
through F692 [HW Addr 6] to view the adapter’s hardware Ethernet
Address (MAC). Finally, convert these decimal values to a hex value.
• Remove the PowerFlex 525 control module front cover and locate the
adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) label.
2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the
BOOTP/DHCP software. The BOOTP/DHCP Server window
appears.
3. To properly configure devices on your EtherNet/IP network, you must
configure settings in the BOOTP/DHCP software to match the network.
Select To o l s > Network Settings to display the Network Settings window.

List and click Disable BOOTP/DHCP. When power is cycled on the
drive, the adapter will use the configuration you assigned it and not issue
new BOOTP/DHCP requests.
To enable BOOTP for an embedded adapter that has had BOOTP
disabled, first select the adapter in the Relation List. Then click Enable BOOTP and power cycle the drive.
10. To save the Relation List, select File > Save.
Setting the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address
By default, the adapter is configured to accept an IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address from a BOOTP server. If you want to set these attributes using
parameters instead, you must first disable BOOTP and then set these network
address parameters in the drive.
Disabling the BOOTP Feature
1. Set the value of parameter C128 [EN Addr Sel] to 1“Parameters”.
Options1“Parameters”
2“BOOTP” (Default)
2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
After disabling the BOOTP feature, you can then configure the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address using parameters.
Setting an IP Address Using Parameters
1. Verify that parameter C128 [EN Addr Sel] is set to 1“Parameters”. This
parameter must be set to “Parameters” to configure the IP address using
parameters.
2. Set the value of parameters C129 [EN IP Addr Cfg 1] through C132
[EN IP Addr Cfg 4] to a unique IP address.
3. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.

This parameter must be set to “Parameters” to configure the subnet mask
using parameters.
2. Set the value of parameters C133 [EN Subnet Cfg 1] through C136 [EN
Subnet Cfg 4] to the desired value for the subnet mask.
3. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
Setting a Gateway Address Using Parameters
Setting the Data Rate
1. Verify that parameter C128 [EN EN Addr Sel] is set to 1“Parameters”.
This parameter must be set to “Parameters” to configure the gateway
address using parameters.
2. Set the value of parameters C137 [EN Gateway Cfg 1] through C140
[EN Gateway Cfg 4] to the desired value for the gateway address.
3. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
By default, the adapter automatically detects the data (baud) rate and duplex
setting used on the network. If you need to set a specific data rate and duplex
setting, the value of parameter C141 [EN Rate Cfg] determines the Ethernet
data rate and duplex setting that the adapter will use to communicate. For
definitions of data rate and duplex, see the Glossary
.
1. Set the value of parameter C141 [EN Rate Cfg] to the data rate at which
your network is operating.
