10.2 Setting up the Ethernet at the PC
Follow the steps in paragraph 9.2.1 - Setting up the PC for EthernetIP, Profinet, ModbusTCP
or Sercos., page 243, but exchange the IP address with one in the same subnet as the
Ethernet interface of the EtherCAT master, and set the default gateway to the IP address
of the Ethernet interface of the EtherCAT master. With the settings used in this example
the setup looks like this:
Now the connection is setup and should work. But it is advisable to test the connection
stepwise first.
Open a command prompt on the Mactalk PC by pressing start and then run.
Then enter cmd and press OK.
In the command prompt first try to ping the Ethernet interface on the TwinCAT master
by entering its IP address, for example:
• ping 172.16.17.1
Replace IP with the TwinCAT master Ethernet inter-
face address from your system.
Next ping the EtherCAT interface on the EtherCAT master by entering the IP address
of the master:
• ping 10.10.10.20
Replace IP with the TwinCAT master EtherCAT inter-
face address from your system.
Last ping the JVL motor on the EtherCAT network:
• ping 10.10.10.233
Replace IP address with the JVL motor IP address from
your system.
If one of the “pings” should fail, go back to the setup and check that every step is done
correctly.
