7.4.3 Configuring the network at the engineering PC
If MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio and the EtherCAT
®
master are running on the same PC,
you do not have to make any additional network settings.
If the EtherCAT
®
master is connected to an Ethernet network via an engineering inter-
face, PCs in the same subnet can access SEW drives on EtherCAT
®
with
MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio (see following figure). To do so, the telegrams from the en-
gineering PC are routed via the Ethernet interface of the EtherCAT
®
master to the mail-
box gateway (so-called routing).
Two variants are available for routing:
1. Variant: Defining a static route.
In this variant, an entry is added to the routing table of the engineering PC that routes
the engineering data via the EtherCAT
®
master to the mailbox gateway.
The command for creating a static route in the DOS box is:
route –p add [Target] MASK [Netmask] [Gateway]
2. Variant: Access to the mailbox gateway by determining the standard gateway on the
engineering PC. In this variant, the IP address of the EtherCAT
®
master is specified
as standard gateway.
• On the engineering PC, open the dialog window for setting the network proper-
ties.
• Make the following entries depending on the network:
9007202522149259
[1] [Target]: corresponds to the IP address of the EtherCAT
®
mailbox gateway in the EtherCAT
®
master
[2] [Netmask]: is usually set to 255.255.255.255 (host routing)
[3] [Gateway]: corresponds to the IP address of the EtherCAT
®
master (engineering interface) in the
Ethernet network
3267406603
IP address: IP address of the engineering PC
Subnet mask: Subnet mask of the engineering PC
Standard gateway: IP address of the EtherCAT
®
master (engineering interface) in the Ethernet
network
Use the following IP address
