3 IMPORTANT HINTS
3.1 GROUNDING AND EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING
Proper grounding and equipotential bonding are very important to protect against electromagnetic
interferences in EtherNet/IP networks. To reduce potential impact, grounding of the EtherNet/IP
cable screen should be done at both ends of every cable (i.e. at each device). Equipotential
bonding ensures that the ground potential is identical throughout the entire EtherNet/IP network
and is essential to avoid equipotential bonding currents, which could otherwise flow through the
EtherNet/IP cable screen. Please refer for further details to the “ Network Infrastructure for
EtherNet/IP ” provided by the EtherNet/IP user organization ODVA (https://www.odva.org/).
For proper grounding please use the earth screw (M4) on the upper side of the valve island. For
easy reference see item 6 in chapter 4.

<
VALVE STATIONS
£
24
§ If 12 < valve stations ≤ 24, special rules are required since only 1 solenoid number is
allocated to valve station with single solenoid:
• Sequence all solenoids following the rules below by starting from 1st station which is the
station closest to control module:
o If 1st station is with double solenoids, sequence solenoid A as Sol.01, solenoid B as
Sol.02, following 2nd station solenoid A as Sol.03, solenoid B as Sol.04……
o If 1st station is with single solenoid, sequence solenoid A as Sol.01, following 2nd
station solenoid A as Sol.02, solenoid B as Sol.03……
o If a station is originally configured as blank, always 2 solenoid numbers are allocated.
o The rest of stations should also adhere to the sequence rules above.

6 COMMISSIONING
Notes:
1. The method of module installation strongly depends on the configuration software. Please refer to the configuration
software manual.
2. All examples in this document are made with following tools,
Hardware: Allen-Bradley PLC CPU 1756-L61, Ethernet/IP Module 1756-ENBT.
Software (Rockwell Automation): BootP-DHCP, RS-Linx Classic, RS Logix 5000.
6.1 EDS FILE INSTALLATION
A device description file is needed for configuration of valve island. The ESD file is provided by
NORGREN and can be downloaded from the following web link:
§ https://www.norgren.com/uk/en/technical-support/software
The EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file could be used for all variants VR10 / VR15:
§ “NORGREN-VR1X-EP-Vxx-JJJJMMDD.eds”
Note: “JJJJMMDD” (JJJJ-year, MM-month, DD-day) is date of release, “Vxx” (xx-version number) is version of release.
The EDS file can be installed inside the engineering tool of the EtherNet/IP controller by following
steps in RS Logix 5000.:
§ Click “Tools” menu.
§ Choose “EDS Hardware Installation
Tool”. Then click on “Next” in
Rockwell Automation’s EDS wizard
window.

6.2.2 Assign IP Address to Valve Island
VR10/VR15 provides several options to assign IP address to valve island by removing the window
to set the rotary and DIP switch with a 2mm slotted screwdriver during power off.
The detail functions of the switches are shown as below:
Note: VR10/15 supports static and DHCP IP assignment method, for users of other IP assignment
methods (such as BOOTP), please refer to 6.2.2.1 with BOOTP_DHCP server or DHCP server
which is typically provided by PLC OEM (such as BOOTP_DHCP tool within RS Logix 5000
software package from Rockwell Automation) to assign IP address.
IP address dial panels:
0 0 0: IP address set by Remote Control
2 5 5: IP address set by DHCP
001-254: IP address set by dial panel.
Address from 192.168.*. 001 to 192.168.*. 254
“*” is set by “setting switch 1”
Settings - Select additional IP address range.
Switch 1 is “ON” side:
IP address range: 192.168.1.001 to 192.168.1.254
Switch 1 is at opposite “ON” side:
IP address range: 192.168.0.001 to 192.168.0.254
Notes:
001-254 is set by dial panels.
Switch 1 does not take effect under Remote control
and DHCP mode.
Switch 2 is not used.

6.2.2.1 IP Address Setting by Remote Control
In remote control mode, IP address can be set by DHCP server, or TCP/IP Interface Object.
§ IP address set by DHCP Server
VR10/VR15 is set as a DHCP client in remote control mode by default.
IP Address must be assigned using a DHCP server or a similar tool.
The IP address must be set again after each power cycle.
The following example shows the IP Address assignment using Rockwell Automations tool
BOOTP_DHCP.
In the BOOTP_DHCP tool, making sure network adaptor which is in the network is selected.
Then follow the steps below:
• In the “commissioning tool” window,
click Add Relation. (Tag 1)
• Enter Client Address (MAC), IP
Address and Hostname in the “New
Entry” window, Click OK. (Tag 2-3)
• The relation now is added.
• Select the added relation. (Tag 4)
• Click “Enable BOOTP/DHCP”. (Tag 5)
• The VR10/VR15 valve island will
appear with assigned IP Address in
“Discovery History” list if address
assignment was successful. (Tag 6)

§ Static IP Address assignment
Static IP address must be done once and is valid after power cycles.
The following example shows how to set static IP address by Rockwell Automation tool
BOOTP/DHCP.
• Click Add Relation. (Tag 1)
• Enter Client Address (MAC), IP
Address and Hostname. (Tag 2)
• Click OK. (Tag 3)
• Select the added relation. (Tag 4)
• Click “Enable BOOTP/DHCP”. (Tag 5)
• The VR10/VR15 valve island will
appear with assigned IP Address in
“Discovery History” list if address
assignment was successful. (Tag 6)
• Right-clicking on the relation. (Tag 7)
• Select “Disable BOOTP/DHCP”.

§ Static IP address can also set by TCP/IP Interface Object.
The Read/Write access to the TCP/IP Interface Object is done via the Explicit Messages
communication method.
The configuration method is set up with the bits0-3 in attribute 3. Please use the statically
assigned IP configuration set up value “0” for those bits.
Bit(s):
Called:

0-3
Configuration

Determines how
the device shall

0 = The device shall use statically assigned IP configuration
values.
1 = Not used.
2 = The device shall obtain its interface configuration values
via DHCP.
3-15 = Reserved for future use.
4

If 1 (TRUE), the device shall resolve host names by querying a DNS server.
5-31
Reserved
Reserved for future use and shall be set to zero.
Attribute 3 of TCP/IP Interface Object: Configuration Method
Attribute 5 contains the configuration parameters required to operate as a TCP/IP node. At
least network address and network mask need to be configured.
Name
Meaning
IP address
The device’s IP address.
Network mask
The device’s network mask. The network mask is used when the IP network has been
partitioned into subnets. The network mask is used to determine whether an IP address is
located on another subnet.
Gateway address
The IP address of the device’s default gateway. When a destination IP address is on a
different subnet, packets are forwarded to the default gateway for routing to the destination
subnet.
Name server
The IP address of the primary name server. The name server is used to resolve host
names. For example, that might be contained in a CIP connection path.
Name server 2
The IP address of the secondary name server. The secondary name server is used when
the primary name server is not available or is unable to resolve a host name.
Domain name
The default domain name. The default domain name is used when resolving host names
that are not fully qualified. For example, if the default domain name is “odva.org”, and the
device needs to resolve a host name of “plc”, then the device will attempt to resolve the host
name as “plc.adva.org”.
