13.5.3 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. To do so, the telegrams from the engineering PC are
routed via the Ethernet interface of the EtherCAT
®
master to the mailbox gateway (so-
called routing).
Two variants are available for routing:
1. Design: 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 [Net mask] [Gateway]
[1]
[2]

13.5.4 Checking the network settings
Irrespective of whether MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio and the EtherCAT
®
master are
running on the same PC or the EtherCAT
®
mailbox gateway is accessed via routing,
you should check the network settings.
