5.1 Industrial Ethernet networks
5.1.1 TCP/IP addressing and subnetworks
The address of the TCP/IP protocol is set using the following parameters:
• MAC address
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Standard gateway
The addressing mechanisms and subdivision of the TCP/IP networks into subnet-
works are explained in this chapter to help you set the parameters correctly.
MAC address
The MAC (Media Access Controller) address is the basis for all address settings. The
MAC address is a worldwide unique 6‑byte value (48 bits) assigned to the Ethernet
device. The MAC address of Ethernet devices from SEW‑EURODRIVE is 00-0F69-xx-
xx-xx.
The MAC address is difficult to handle for larger networks. This is why freely as-
signable IP addresses are used.
IP address
The IP address is a 32-bit value that uniquely identifies a node in the network. An IP
address is represented by 4 decimal numbers separated by decimal points.
Each decimal number stands for 1 byte (8 bits) of the address and can also be repres-
ented using binary code:
Exemplary IP address: 192.168.10.4
Byte Decimal Binary
1 192 11000000
2 168 10101000
3 10 00001010
4 4 00000100
The IP address comprises a network address and a node address.
The part of the IP address that denotes the network and the part that identifies the
node is determined by the network class and the subnet mask.
