understanding of the product.

ATTENTION: The drive may contain high voltages that can cau se
injury or death. Remove all power from the drive, and then verify
power has been removed before installing or removing an

!

EtherNet/IP module. Failure to observe these precautions could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical 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 product using an EtherNet/IP
module. Read and understand this manual in its entirety before
proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions could result
bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: DPI host products must not be directly connected
together via RECBL-xxx cables. Unpredictable behavior due to
timing and other internal procedures can result if two or more
devices are connected in this manner. Failure to observe this
precaution could result bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: If the EtherNet/IP module is transmitting control
I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the module.
Determine how your drive will respond before resetting an module.
Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: Parameters Comm Flt Action (21), Idle Flt Action
(22), and Peer Flt Action (41) let you determine the action of the
module and connected drive if communications are disrupted. By
default, these parameters fault the drive. You can set these
parameters so that the drive continues to run. Precautions should
be taken to ensure that the settings of these parameters do not
create a hazard 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 faulted controller). Failure to observe this precaution could
result bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: 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.
Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.

Communications module (RECOMM-ENET) and using it with DPI
AC drives, such as SP600 and GV6000 drives. It is intended for
qualified electrical personnel familiar with installing, programming,
and maintaining AC drives and networks.

The module is mounted in the drive and receives its required power
from the drive. It can be used with other products that implement
DPI, which is a peripheral communication interface. Refer to the
documentation for your product for specific information about how it
works with this module.

1.1 Module Features

The EtherNet/IP Communications module features the following:

• Status indicators that report the status of the drive

communications, module, and network. They are visible both
when the cover is opened and when it is closed.

• I/O, including Logic Command/Reference and up to four pairs of

Datalinks that may be configured for your application using
associated parameters.

• A number of tools to configure the module and connected drive.

These tools include the LCD OIM and VS Utilities software. In
addition, you can use a BOOTP server to configure the network
features on the module (for example, the IP address).

• User-defined fault actions that determine how the module and the

drive respond to communication disruptions on the network.

• Explicit messages are supported.

• Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchies can be set up so that

the module and the connected drive can transmit data to and
from either a scanner or another drive on the network.

• Each module has a web page that displays information about the

module, the connected drive, and other DPI devices connected to
the drive.

• The module can be configured to send e-mail messages to

desired addresses when selected drive faults occur and/or are
cleared, and/or when the module takes a communication or idle
fault action.

from the connected drive. When you apply power to the
product for the first time, the status indicators should be
green or off after an initialization. If the status indicators
are red, refer to chapter 8, Troubleshooting the module
and Network.

3.6 Commissioning the Module

To commission the module, you must set a unique IP address.
(Refer to the Glossary for details about IP addresses.) After
installing the module and applying power, you can set the IP
address by using a BOOTP server or by setting parameters.

3-6

By default, the module is configured so that you must set the IP
address using a BOOTP server. To set the IP address using
parameters, you must disable the BOOTP feature. Refer to chapter
4, Configuring the module, for details.

Important: New settings for some parameters (for example, IP

Addr Cfg 1 through IP Addr Cfg 4) are recognized only
when power is applied to the module or it is reset.
After you change parameter settings, cycle power or
reset the module.

4.3 Using BOOTP to Set the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address

By default, the module is configured so that you can set its IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP
utility. You can select from a variety of BOOTP utilities. These
instructions use Rockwell’s BOOTP Server (version 2.1), a stand­alone program that incorporates the functionality of standard
BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from
http://www.reliance.com. Refer to the Readme file and online Help
for detailed directions and information.

Note: If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address by setting parameters.
For details, refer to section 4.4.

To configure the module using BOOTP Server, use the following
procedure:

Step 1. On the label of the module, locate and note the hardware

address of the module.

Step 2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network,

start the BOOTP software. The BOOTP Server window
appears as shown in figure 4.3. Devices on the network
issuing BOOTP requests appear in the BOOTP Request
History list.
