Ability Network
Port X5 (LAN 4) belongs to the Ability Network segment. The LAN4 port is intended
for connecting to the Connected Services Gateway module for a firewalled access
to ABB Ability™ Cloud server.
The connectivity is done through an embedded Connected Services Gateway
(Wired, Wi-Fi, or 3G).
Public Network
The port X23 (WAN) belongs to the Public Network segment. The WAN port is the
public network interface to the controller, typically connected to the industrial
network with a public IP address provided by the network administrator.
The Public Network segment is used for:
• connecting a PC running RobotStudio
• mounting FTP or NFS disks from the controller
• running Industrial Ethernet.
Note
The Public Network can be configured in RobotStudio or on the FlexPendant.
Drive Network
The X9 (AXC) port is intended to be connected to the robot drive system.
The AXC port is always connected to the axis computer. If MultiMove is used, AXC
is connected to a switch that connects to all the axis computers.
One EtherNet/IP network connected to the robot controller
EtherNet/IP Adapter is only available on the public network via WAN. Ethernet/IP
Scanner can be used on both the private and public network at the same time.
The following figure illustrates the network when connecting a scanner and an
adapter to the WAN port of the main computer:
