EtherCAT service PC: Setting the route of an Ethernet subnet
In order to make the Ethernet subnet of the drive controllers known to DriveControlSuite, you have to configure a
corresponding route on the service PC. The route allows an IP configuration packet to be forwarded to the drive controllers
in question via the EtherCAT master, which acts as a gateway.
Note that the operating system of the EtherCAT master only connects the subnets known to it if IP routing is allowed there.
ü
The following information (network of the drive controllers to be triggered, subnet mask, gateway address of the
master) is adapted to the STOBER default settings and must be replaced by the addresses that correspond to the
system environment.
1. In order to set the Ethernet route using the command line, open the Windows console cmd.exe.
2. Enter the following command:
route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.10
ð You have now successfully set the route.
Information
If you are working with a STOBER motion controller and the AS6 development environment, IP routing is activated in the
MC6 motion controller by default.
In TwinCAT 3, you must enable this function on the master using EtherCAT > Advanced Settings > EoE Support >
Windows Network area > Windows IP Routing > IP Enable Router. Restart the PC to apply the configuration.
