Hi All,

I have a PowerFlex 525 drive with Ethernet I/P capability. Device in theory had known static IP on it, 10.10.114.22. I didn't see it in Linx or with an ARP-A, and I cant use BOOT-P, so I connected via USB to upload current configuration. I pasted contents of my .pf5 file below, but IP seems to be defined, 10.10.114.22. I found manual for the drive and attempted to find parameter definition table so I could verify parameter definition, and device manual says that I need the manual for the communication module to get the parameter table. I didn't see any model number on the module that disconnects from the "drive" other than 25B which lead me to this manual that stated I needed communication module manual.

https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf

it seems like the communication module is not modular, and I didnt see another model number on it, but clearly I am missing something.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I did see that, and I was looking at the network section which directs user to the manual for particular module, hence my initial comment that I was looking for a different manual. šŸ™ƒ
520com-um001 PowerFlex 525 Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter


In the pdf version of the User Manual, there is a direct link to this manual on the first page of Appendix H, the Appendix entitled; "Ethernet I/P"
 
So I have pushed the following configuration to the device:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Node>
<Drive Brand="1" Family="9" Config="130" MajorRev="4" MinorRev="1">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Instance="128">1</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="129">10</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="130">10</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="131">114</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="132">22</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="133">255</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="134">0</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="135">0</Parameter>
<Parameter Instance="136">0</Parameter>
</Parameters>
<CustomGroups>
<CustomGroup Instance="1">
<Name>Custom Group</Name>
</CustomGroup>
</CustomGroups>
</Drive>
</Node>

According to the manual this should use IP of 10.10.114.22 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. I power cycled the device after download of configuration file as the manual instructs. I am still not able to ping the device with this IP address.
