-Double click on the IPV4 settings
-Select "Use the following IP address" and now enter in an IP address for your PCs ethernet port.
Note this IP address needs to match your Drives IP address up to the last octet.
Drives IP address= 10.172.86.1 (for the Drive) and your PC's IP address = 10.172.86.10 (your computer)
Subnet address= 255.255.255.0
-Choose ok


Drive Setup
Example set your Drives IP address using the remote HMI under the Ethernet settings in the programming.
Type=Fixed
IP address= 10.172.86.1 (for the Drive)
Subnet address= 255.255.255.0
-Power cycle your Drive after changing the IP address


STEP 3
Open up Somove 2.9.4 or newer and setup your "edit connection/scan" settings.
-Click on  "edit connection/scan"
-Choose Modbus TCP double click
-Choose the advanced settings (small gear wheel icon).

-Choose Single Scan and enter 1
-Apply and OK
-Ok again


STEP 4
-Now Scan for the Device to see if your PC finds the Drive.
-double click on the picture of the drive to connect and load from the device.



NOTE: If your Drives ATV630 or ATV930 Firmware is version V3.3IE or above it will now include cyber security features and you will have to enter a password before connecting to the drive other Ethernet or Profinet. You can find this unique password on your HMI under the Communications menu, Embedded Ethernet configuration, and find SECE.  SECE select OK on the HMI and then select WDPE and press ok.  Your will now see your unique password example "iY^Nm9cV"
This password is temporary and will need to be changed and remembered.

The USERNAME: ADMIN (all caps)
The Password: iY^Nm9cV (for this example only)







Please read and understand before checking OK.



Somove is loading settings from the Drive to your Somove on your PC.




Your are now connected to the Drive when the bar across the top turn's orange.




Please be aware that you will be required to enter a password when you connect via Ethernet or Profinet if your Process Drive is version V3.3IE or higher so if you live in an area or work for a company that does not require or mandate having a password for Ethernet or Profinet for cyber security you can disable the feature if desired.  Otherwise leave the feature active which can offer the best cyber security.




Done.

NOTE:

This example should work using.
-Ethernet TCP
-Ethernet IP
-Profinet
