Parameter requests from the MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio engineering software are
transferred to a switch [3] via Ethernet [2] from an engineering PC [1] using the Ether-
net interface. The switch[3] then directly passes on the parameter requests to the Eth-
ernet interface of the devices[4].
12.3.2 Establishing communication with the Address Editor
Address Editor is a free software tool from SEW‑EURODRIVE. It is available once the
MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio engineering software is installed. However, it is used sep-
arately.
The Address Editor allows to find all SEW‑EURODRIVE devices connected at the
local network segment (subnetwork) and to parameterize the network settings.
INFORMATION
The Address Editor only finds SEW‑EURODRIVE devices. The devices have to be
connected to the network via the Ethernet fieldbus interface.
In contrast to MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio, you do not need to set the IP address of
the engineering PC to the local network segment.
Perform the following process steps to add additional Ethernet nodes to an existing
network:
1. "Starting the Address Editor"(→2145)
2. "Searching Ethernet nodes"(→2146)
3. "Adjusting the IP address of the Ethernet nodes"(→2147)
4. Optional: "Setting the engineering PC appropriately for the network"(→2148)
Starting the Address Editor
You can use the Address Editor immediately after installing the
MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio engineering software.
Proceed as follows:
1. Close MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio.
2. Select the following item from the Windows start menu: [Start] / [Pro-
