Private Network
The Private Network has a static configuration with IP address 192.168.125.1/24
and hosts a DHCP server. The purpose of the Private Network is to connect the
computers within the robot controller as well as I/O networks and process equipment
local to the robot. Many IP addresses are reserved on this network, so it is
recommended that new units get their IP address from the DHCP server.
Note
Never connect another DHCP server to any of the ports connected to the Private
Network. There cannot be two DHCP servers on the same network. It might cause
an erroneous behavior of both internal and external units.
Ability Network
Configuration of the IP settings for the Ability Network shall be done manually
when the controller is equipped with a wired Connected Services Gateway
(DSQC1041) that is connected to an Internet gateway, using an IP address provided
by the network administrator.
Note
On OmniCore E line controllers, the WAN2 port is equivalent to a wired Connected
Services Gateway (DSQC1041).
The IP address configuration is done either in RobotStudio or on the FlexPendant.
As an exception to the reserved ranges mentioned in section Reserved IP addresses
on page 81, the Ability Network is allowed to configure IP addresses within the
reserved range 192.168.126.0 - 255, but not within 192.168.125.0 - 255 or
192.168.127.0 - 255.
For security reasons, only outbound access on port 53 DNS and 443 HTTPS are
allowed. The inbound access is blocked by an internal firewall and cannot be
unblocked.
Note
For more information about connecting the Ability port to the internet, see
Application manual - Controller software OmniCore.
Public Network
The Public Network interface is typically connected to the factory network with a
public IP address provided by the network administrator. The Public Network
segment can be used for:
• Connecting a PC running RobotStudio. For more information see Operating
manual - RobotStudio.
• Mounting FTP or NFS disks from the controller.
• Running Industrial Ethernet protocols.
Most protocols are disabled by default in the controller firewall. See Firewall settings
on page 84 for information about how to enable these protocols.
