9.9.1 Address Editor
Overview The Address Editor is a freeware tool by SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG.
It is available once the "MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio" engineering software is installed.
However, it is used separately.
You can use the Address Editor to establish a communication for your units via Ethernet
and to address the units.
If you use a patch cable to connect the Ethernet interface of your engineering PC to the
Ethernet, the Address Editor detects all Ethernet nodes in the connected network seg-
ment (local network).
Unlike with "MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio", you will not have to adjust the IP address of
the engineering PC to the local network.
This means the Address Editor is a useful addition to "MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio".
Proceed as follows if you have added other Ethernet nodes to an existing network:
• Start the Address Editor
• Search for Ethernet nodes
Once you have found the added Ethernet nodes, you have two options:
• Setting the detected Ethernet nodes according to the network (addressing)
• Setting the engineering PC according to the network (address)
Opening the
Address Editor
You can use the Address Editor once MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio has been installed.
Do the following to start the Address Editor:
1. Close MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio.
2. Start the Address Editor from the Windows start menu via:
[Start] / [Programs] / [SEW] / MOVITOOLS MotionStudio] / [Address Editor
(Address Tool)]
