Chapter 3. CPU Configuration134 PACSystems* RX7i, RX3i and RSTi-EP CPU Reference Manual GFK-2222AD3.4 Configuring the Embedded Ethernet InterfaceBefore you can use the embedded Ethernet Interface, you must configure it using the programmingsoftware. To configure the embedded Ethernet interface:1) In the Project tab of the Navigator, expandyour PACSystems Target, the hardwareconfiguration, and the main rack (Rack 0).2) Expand the CPU slot (Slot 1). The EthernetInterface daughterboard is displayed asEthernet.3) Right click the daughterboard slot and chooseConfigure. The Parameter Editor windowdisplays the Ethernet Interface parameters.Figure 38: Selecting Embedded Ethernet forConfigurationEthernet interface configuration includes the following additional procedures. For details on completingthese steps, refer to the PACSystems RX7i, RX3i and RSTi-EP TCP/IP Ethernet Communications UserManual, GFK-2224.▪ Assigning an IP Address for initial network operation, such as connecting the programmer todownload the hardware configuration, using the Set Temporary IP Address utility (refer to Setting aTemporary IP Address) or by downloading a hardware configuration through a serial connection.▪ Configuring the characteristics of the Ethernet interface.▪ Configuring Ethernet Global Data, if used.▪ (Optional, not required for most systems). Setting up the RS-232 port for Local Station ManagerOperation. This is part of the basic Ethernet Interface configuration.▪ (Optional, not required for most systems). Configuring advanced user parameters. This requirescreating a separate ASCII parameter file that is stored to the Controller with the hardwareconfiguration. The Ethernet Interface has a set of default Advanced User Parameter values thatshould be changed only in exceptional circumstances by experienced users.▪ (Optional) Setting up the Controller for Modbus/TCP Server operation.Note: Whenever a CPE310 is configured as a CPU310, Ethernet properties cannot be configured.The embedded Ethernet interface is not supported when CPE310 is configured as a CPU310 andthe Ethernet port should not be connected to any network because it may have adverse effectson the network and/or operation of the CPU.Note: Whenever a CPE330 is configured as a CPU320, Ethernet properties cannot be configured.However, the embedded Ethernet ports may be used with their default IP Addresses.
