Module Monitoring / Webpage

Webpage Functionality

The Webpage has many uses including setting static IP addresses, viewing the variables in the User Application, deleting the User Application, and much more. Access the webpage either by clicking the gear icon from the Targets section of the Programmer, or directly in your browser use the URL for the webpage, which is the module’s serial number “idu21h14aa23.local”. None of the configurations necessarily need to be configured, and default settings will provide normal behavior. Editing the configurable fields will provide a more customized experience. Theme setting is initially dependent on your system settings.


The Overview tab shows your module’s current Name, Serial Number, Firmware, MAC address, Part number, Network Mode, IP address, Subnet and Gateway.


The Overview tab not only shows information on the module in the top left of the tab, it also has thorough explanations of the module’s LEDs and terminals. With a click you can get an explanation of LED colors, IO pinouts, power supply wiring diagrams and more. Everything in a red box on the module can be clicked for a image and explanation.


Here is the Motor LED’s explanation, for easy in-field reference.


The Monitor tab displays the status of the InoDrive module including: Digital Inputs, Digital Outputs, Analog Input, Holding Brake, Accelerometer, Ethernet Ports, multiple Temperature readings, Power Supply Voltage, Safety Inputs, and general statuses like Network, User Application, Motor, and more. These values are polled directly from the module as it runs. The lights on the image of the module itself are reflective of the actual physical module’s Module, Network, and Application LEDs. More information about LEDs within the Identifying InoDrive Components topic.


The Network tab allows you to view and/or change the TCP/IP, Name, and IGMP Snooping configurations. The TCP/IP tab contains options for two network modes on the module. Either Automatic, which is the default most commonly used option, and Static. Static IP Addresses will require any other InoDrives you are planning to have communicate with also have Static IP Addressing configured, and the computer you use to communicate with the drive should be statically IP Addressed too. If you change the TCP/IP Settings ensure you click the “Apply” button and turn the modules off and back on before your changes will be reflected.


The Name tab edits the name of the InoDrive module. The default name is the serial number of that particular module, but for some circumstances a functionally focused name may be helpful, for example: TopActuatorModule.


The IGMP Snooping tab. Folks who are less familiar with Network configuration and administration may choose to leave these settings alone. If you are prepared to change these settings please ensure you click the “Apply” button and power cycle your devices. Proper configuration of IGMP Snooping can save network resources, and enhance security by sending multicast packets only to relevant hosts.


The Settings tab allows configuration of how the InoDrive module handles electrical voltages. Perhaps the InoDrive will certainly never encounter 38V in its application, and if it did, an error should be produced. This could be established here by clearing out the settings for 48V, and strictly limiting the settings for 36V.


The User Application tab displays the User Application state, a Delete User Application button, and present User Application variables which have either Read or Read Write access. Access is given to these variables when created in the InoWorx Programmer, and access level can only be edited by going back to the Programmer and reconfiguring the variable and sending the User Application to the module again. If the variables have Read Write access then you can edit the values right here and they will change and affect the program directly.


User App status can be represented as Present, Externally Controlled, Faulted, and Not Present. Here you see what the Not Present status looks like. Only the above Present shows the application variables.
