The information on the modules that can be displayed is as follows:
• The serial number and the software version.
• The IP address, the Network Mask, and the Gateway Address.
• TCP Clients.
• The MAC Address.
The following table illustrates the information on the modules:
Information Description
This is the address assigned to the modules at the moment of
connection to the network. It consists of four bytes (for a total of 32 bits),
each of which can have value from 0 to 255.
By default, allocation is dynamic. With dynamic allocation, the modules
wait to receive the IP address from a DHCP server.
Without a DHCP server, the modules adopt an Autoconfiguration IP
IP Address
Address in the range 169.254.xxx.xxx, calculated in a pseudo random
manner so as to be the same at every switch-on.
Alternatively, you can enable the static IP address option, which allows
the IP address to be forced. In this case, you must make sure that the
IP Address inserted is different to that of the other devices connected to
the same network.
This is the subnet mask, and identifies the method to recognize the
subnet to which the modules belong, with the possibility of searching for
Network Mask the modules within a defined set of recipients.
If you enabled the option Static IP Address, you must also enter the
correct Network Mask.
The IP address of the node to which the module it is connected, in the
Gateway presence of multiple subnets.
Address If you enabled the Static IP Address option, you must also enter the
correct Gateway Address.
There are three IP Addresses of the client devices connected to the
TCP Client
modules.
MAC Address It is the address assigned by ABB, having a OUI equal to ac:d3:64
(1)
Organizationally Unique Identifier, formed from the first three bytes of a MAC address, and which uniquely
identifies the manufacturer of an Ethernet device.
application (see the chapter "13 - Other accessories", and the paragraph "Ekip Connect
application" on page 221):
• With Ekip T&P module connected to the release, and serial scan (see page 222).
• With Ekip Bluetooth module connected to the release, and Bluetooth scan (see page 221).
• With the modules connected to the Ethernet network, and Ethernet scan.
With serial or Bluetooth scan, configuration is possible only with Local Bus enabled.
On Ekip Connect the following options are also available:
• IEEE 1588, to enable the IEEE 1588 protocol for distribution of the clock signal and
synchronization.
• IEEE 1588 master, to set the modules as the master in the section of the network to which
they belong.
• Gratuitous ARP, to enable/disable the periodic generation of an ARP Gratuitous message,
used by Ekip Connect in order to find the modules with an Ethernet scan without knowing
the IP address.
• HTTP server, to enable/disable the Web Server function, that is, the possibility to find the
modules from a web server.
The Web Server function is disabled by default.
IMPORTANT: with the Web Server function enabled, it is recommended to
select local access mode for the modules.
