2. You will see the network modules found.
Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506
DVP-PLC Application Manual
18
3. Double-click on the module to be set up to enter the setup page. The first page overviews the basic status
of the module.
4. The next page is for basic network setup. Consult your ISP for relevant network settings. For other setting,
see BR#4 ~ BR#6 and BR#11 ~ BR#13.
Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506
DVP-PLC Application Manual 19
8.2 Basic Settings
The basic settings include parameters such as module name, network settings and serial communication.
The basics
1. Module name:
There can be many IFD9506 modules on the network. Thus, you can set up a module name for each
module to identify the module when you need to use them.
2. Master configuration:
Open “Serial Master” mode or “Serial Slave” mode.
3. Network settings:
Enable DHCP or static IP. Consult your ISP for other relevant settings.
A. IP configuration:
There are 2 types of IP, static IP and DHCP.
Static IP: Preset or manually modified by the user.
DHCP: Automatically updated by the server. There has to be a server in the LAN.
IP Explanation
Static The user enters the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
DHCP DHCP server offers the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
B. IP address:
IP address os the location of the equipment on the network. Every equipment connected to the
network has to have an IP address. Incorrect IP address will result in connection failure. Consult
your ISP for how to set up IP address. The default IP for IFD9506 is 192.168.1.5.
C. Subnet mask:
Subnet mask is an important parameter for setting up the subnet, used for seeing if the destination
IP and the locak equipment are in the same subnet. If not, the equipment will send the packet to the
Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506
DVP-PLC Application Manual
20
gateway, and the gateway will send the packet to another subnet. Incorrect setting may cause the
destination equipment unable to communicate to IFD9506. To see if your setting is correct, conduct
bitwise AND operations between your IP and subnet mask and destination IP and subnet mask. If
the two values obtained are the same, the two IPs are in the same subnet. The default subnet mask
of IFD9506 is 255.255.255.0.
D. Gateway:
Gateway is the window for two different subnets, allowing the two ends in different subnets to
communicate. For example, if the LAN has to be connected to WAN, it will need a gateway to
bridge the communication. The IP of the gateway has to be in the same subnet as IFD9506. The
default gateway of IFD9506 is 192.168.1.254.
4. Communication parameter setting:
Please refer to explanations on BR#4, BR#5, and BR#6.
5. Timer setting:
For setting up TCP connection idle time, Modbus time-out and minimum communication delay time for
every communication data. Please refer to explanations on BR#11, BR#12, and BR#13.
8.3 Network Settings
The first step for all the equipment to connect to the network is to have its own IP (Internet Protocol) address.
The IP address is like a number for every equipment to be identified on the network.
Setting up static IP of the PC
1. Enter Control Panel → Network Connection → click on “Local Area Connection”.
2. You will see the “Local Area Connection Status” window. Click on “Properties”.
Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506
DVP-PLC Application Manual 21
3. Click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
4. Enter “192.168.0.1” into IP address. Click on “OK” to complete the IP address setting of the PC.
8.4 Setting up E-Mails
E-Mail is the abbreviation of electronic mail which transmits mails through the network. IFD9506 has E-Mail
functions for the user to pre-save a segment of text message, which can be a descriptive message or error
message, into the subject of the E-Mail. When the E-Mail is triggered, IFD9506 will send the messages to the
Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506
DVP-PLC Application Manual
22
user by E-Mail.
Mail settings
1. Mail alarm setup:
There are 3 mail alarms to be set up. Check the boxes to enable the alarms. The alarm can be
triggered by “low" and “high”.
2. SMTP server:
When Alarm 1 is triggered, the E-Mail will first be sent to SMTP server, and SMTP server will send it
to the designated address. For example, assume there is an E-Mail to be sent to Test@delta.com.tw,
and SMTP server is 192.168.0.1, the E-Mail will be sent to SMTP server first, and the server will
further send it to the recipient Test1@delta.com.tw.
3. E-Mail of sender:
Maximum 63 Engligh characters are allowed.
4. Subject of E-Mail:
You can enter the text message in the column, and the message will be placed in the subject of the
E-Mail and sent to the recipient. IFD9506 is able to contain 1~3 E-Mail subjects. Max. 63 English
characters are allowed for each subject.
5. E-Mail of recipient:
One mail can be sent to 10 addresses according to the alarm setting. Every address allows Max. 63
English characters. For example, (see the figure above) when Alarm 1 is triggered, the E-Mail will be
sent to Test1@delta.com.tw. When Alarm 2 is triggered, the E-Mail will be sent to
Test2@delta.com.tw.
Note:
To correctly send out E-Mails, there has to be a SMTP server in the network. When we send out an
E-Mail, the mail will be sent to SMTP server first, and the server will further send the mail to the
designated address.
Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506
DVP-PLC Application Manual 23
8.5 Monitoring Settings
You can read data in designated addresses in different equipment in the network by setting up IFD9506. The
data can be temporarily stored in IFD9506 for fast storing and acquisition.
Setting up monitoring functions
1. Monitor bit:
Device addresses for setting up the bit status of serial slave; able to read the content in the
corresponding address of the designated slave.
2. Monitor word:
Device addresses for setting up the word status of serial slave; able to read the content in the
corresponding address of the designated slave.
Note:
Cache mode normally enabled, and Max. data in 16 slaves can be monitored. When the cache mode
is enabled, the data you would like to read will be sent back directly from the register in IFD9506.
3. Serial slave mode:
The instruction sent from the master is received and transferred to the network. Please designate the
station address and relay IP address.
Device address: Address of the slave PLC
Relay IP address: IP of the serial master

8.6 IP Filter
The IP filter is used for restricting the connection of the network in case some uncertain UP will cause errors.
Only the IP set within a certain range can establish a connection. Other IPs will be rejected.
Setting up IP filter
1. Enable IP filter function:
Check the box to enable IP filter.
2. IP address:
IP addresses that are allowed to establish connections. Max. 8 IPs are allowed.
3. Netmask:
Subnet mask of the UP that is allowed to establish a connection. To see whether the subnet mask is
allowed, conduct bitwise AND operation between the allowed IP and subnet mask and destination IP
and subnet mask. If the two values obtained are the same, the subnet mask is allowed by the network.
For example, assume the IP is 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the IPs allowed to
establish connections will become 192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.0.255.
