Figure 3-1 NetEdit3 Initial Screen

The NetEdit3 software should find and list any SJ/L-EN attached to the network. If not, just click on "Scan

Network". An entry will appear in the Device List (grid area), with the board details as shown in Figure 3-2. If

more than one board is connected in a common network, you will see a line entry for each of them. The

"Module Info" and "General Settings" tabs will now also appear next to the "General Help" tab, below the

Device List. You can then click on the line for the board you wish to configure, and click on the "General

Settings" tab and then the "General" button to bring up the General Settings dialog box containing the device

details, or you can simply double-click on the device in the Device List. In the General Settings dialog box

(Figure 3-3), you can enter the Module ID for the device, provided the DIP Switches on the board are all set to

zero. Otherwise, the Module ID will reflect the DIP switch setting, and will be grayed out, indicating it cannot

be modified with NetEdit3. You can also input a Name for the device, and a Description. The default Name will

be "Hitachi Drive", and the default Description will be "SJ/L-EN".

The device's IP Address will also be shown. Change this to the desired IP address for your Modbus/TCP

network. Your master device will need this address to communicate with this node. Note that all SJ/L-EN boards

ship with the default IP address of "255.255.255.255". When you change the IP address, the NetEdit3 software

may no longer be able to see it in TCP/IP mode if the PC's IP address is not on the same sub-network. You can

communicate to the SJ/L-EN despite this using the IPX mode, however you will have to make sure IPX support

is installed in Windows on that PC.

Once you have made the necessary changes, you can exit NetEdit3, and disconnect the cable from your PC to

the SJ/L-EN board. You may now connect the SJ/L-EN to your network to begin normal operation.
