P15.1 Bus Modbus TCP
0: inactive Modbus TCP disabled.
1: xed IP The actuator has a xed IP address (parameters P15.2 and
P15.3 have to be parametrised correctly).
2: DHCP The actuator receives its IP address from the DHCP server.
3: BOOTP The actuator receives its IP address from the BOOTP server.
P15.2 Bus IP Address 0 to 125 Valid IP address (only relevant if P15.1 is set to 1 (xed IP))
P15.3 Bus Net Mask 0 to 125 Valid net mask (only relevant if P15.1 is set to 1 (xed IP)).
P15.4 Bus Swap Bytes 0, 1 Swap the low and high bytes in registers.
P15.6 Bus Watchdog
time
0.0 – 10.0 s
(0.0 s)
Monitoring of the toggle bit transmitted from the master
(bit 7 in the command). With a bus watchdog time set, this
bit has to toggle within that time; otherwise there is a bus
watchdog fault. At 0.0 s the watchdog function is disabled,
in which case toggling of the toggle bit may be omitted.
P15.7 Bus Sollwertquelle
(0): Standard The set point is specied via the Modbus TCP
(only relevant when the positioner is enabled).
1: Analog The set point is specied by the analog signal
(only relevant when the positioner is enabled).
2: Bus/analog
With an error-free bus, the set point is specied via the
Modbus TCP. With a bus error, the analog value is switched
to (only relevant when the positioner is enabled).
P15.8 Bus Status 2 (0) Standard assignment for Status 2.
1 - 2 Reserved for future use.
P15.9 Bus Status 3 (0) Standard assignment for Status 3 (current event).
1 - 2 Reserved for future use.
P15.10 Bus Status 4 (0) Standard assignment for Status 4 (current event).
1 - 2 Reserved for future use.
! WARNING
After changing parameters P15.1 - P15.3, the protocol stack for the Modbus TCP is
restarted to apply the change.
! WARNING
To allow the actuator to be unambiguously identied in the network, the MAC address is
displayed in the bottommost line of Status Area S5!
