I'm trying to understand if I can use the ADC feature in my powerflex 525 drives. We have a large plant with vlans setup for different areas.
If we have a drive fail and ADC is enabled, my understanding is we can take a brand new drive and it's plug and play. The part I don't quite understand is, we must first set the ip address in order for the PLC to push out the parameters using ADC? I was reading that some switches can automatically assign an IP to a new drive, because it's plugged into a specific port on the switch it knows what the IP address should be. Does that feature only work with certain switches, I know we use n-tron switches, but I don't know if those can auto assign IP addresses..
