The Opal Pro can be monitored and controlled over an Ethernet
communication network using the AB Ethernet IP protocol. The Opal Pro
connects to the Ethernet network through and optional Ethernet card that
is mounted on the main Opal Pro control card (CA530). Access is gained
to the Ethernet card via the communication opening on the right side of
the Opal Pro. The Opal Pro is a AB Ethernet IP slave and is mapped as
I/O through an Ethernet bridge
Hardware
Connection is made via a 10Mbaud Ethernet port which utilizes a RJ45
connector. Connection should be made using CAT 5 cable.

If this is set to Comm Module the
Opal pro will follow the Current
reference from the communication
link. If there is no reference being
sent on the communication link this
should be set to “Internal”
If this is set to Comm Module the

This is the time setting that the Opal
Pro uses to detect a communication
fault. Bit 15 of the command word
must change state twice with in the
time set in this parameter.
If parameters in group 14 are modified the changes do not take effect until
the control power for the Opal Pro is turned off and then back on again.
