2.2 Network connection
Ethernet ports
The device has two Ethernet ports. If only one connection is required, either port can
be used.
Cables
Use Category 5, 5e, 6 or 6e cable to connect to the device.
EMC precautions
To minimise electromagnetic interference, Ethernet cables should be separated from
motor and mains cables by 200 mm.
If the Ethernet cable must cross motor or mains cables, the crossing should be at an
angle of 90°.
2.3 Network establishment
The controller must establish communications directly with each device before the
device can participate in the network.
2.4 Addressing
Each device in a network is addressed using a MAC address and a device name. The
MAC address is fixed within the device and is printed on a label on the front of the
device.

3. Device configuration
3.1 Configure the device name
Use the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool to configure the device. The Ethernet
Device Configuration Tool is available from your local supplier.
To identify the device using the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool:
1. Start the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool.
2. Click on Search Devices. The software will search for connected devices.
3. To configure a device name, click Configure then select Device Name.
NOTE
The Error LED is on if the device is not configured. If the device is configured
but is not passing I/O data, the Error LED will flash. The Error LED will be
active during the configuration process.
NOTE
If your PC has a firewall enabled, you must add the tool to the list of authorised
programs.

3.2 Enabling network control
The soft starter will only accept commands from the Profinet Card if parameter 1A
Command Source
is set to 'Network'.
NOTE
If the reset input is active, the starter will not operate. If a reset switch is not
required, use parameter 7I to set the reset input to normally open or fit a link
across terminals 10, 11 on the soft starter.
3.3 On-board web server
Settings in the Profinet Card can be configured via the card's web server.
Connect to the device
To configure settings using the on-board web server, the card must be installed in a
soft starter, control power must be available, and the card and computer must both be
connected to the Ethernet network.
The computer must use a fixed IP address (not DHCP) and the same subnet mask as
the card. The default IP address for the card is 192.168.0.2. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
INSTRUCTIONS
