2.6.4 Configuring networks

Introduction to the controller network

The PickMaster PowerPac and the robot controller communicate through Ethernet.

If you have problems in connecting to the network, contact the local network

administrator.

Note

The PickMaster PowerPac must be conntected to the LAN port on the controller.

Do not use the service port.

Configuring the controller network

If a new local area network (LAN) is created specifically for PickMaster PowerPac

the following settings can be used.

• Use static IP numbering with different addresses for both the computer and

the robot controller.

• IP addresses: 192.168.1.X (where X is between 1 and 253).

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Gateway: 192.168.1.254

• DNS: N/A.

• Wins: N/A.

Note

The robot controller has a service Ethernet card configured with an IP address

(192.168.125.1). Therefore, the same subnet (192.168.125.X) must not be used

for the standard LAN Ethernet card.

For more information, see the Windows documentation and the product manual

for the robot controller to set up the IP configuration.

Note

It's not allowed to use any of the following IP addresses which are allocated for

other functions:

• 192.168.127.0 - 255

The IP address cannot be on a subnet which overlaps with any of the above

reserved IP addresses. If a subnet mask in the class B range has to be used,

then a private address of class B must be used to avoid any overlapping. Contact

your local network administrator regarding network overlapping.

See the section Communication in Technical reference manual - System

parameters.
