Installation and Connection
Note: You can ascertain the network settings of your Windows PC by clicking start, entering “cmd” to the
“Search programs and files” line and then pressing the enter key. A command line appears. After entering
“ipconfig” to this line, the PC’s network settings are displayed.
If necessary, change the weQube’s subnet mask, so that it coincides with the PC’s. The subnet mask breaks
the IP address down into a network part (places in the subnet mask occupied by the digits “255”) and a device
part (places in the subnet mask occupied by digits other than “255”).
The network part of the weQube’s IP address must coincide with the network part of the PC’s IP address, and
the device parts of the weQube and the PC must be different.
Example:
The following subnet mask is used for both the PC and the sensor: 255.255.255.0.
If the PC’s IP address is 192.100.100.1, the IP address of the weQube must start as follows: 192.100.100.
The last digit of the IP address must differ from the PC’s last digit, and should only occur once throughout the
network. For example, the following IP address could be used for the weQube: 192.100.100.2.
You can change the sensor’s network settings with the help of weQube software (see section 10.1.1.2).
Alternatively, you can also change the sensor’s IP address at the OLED display (see section 6.8.2).
Caution: It may be necessary to deactivate the PC’s firewall in order to establish connection with the sensor.
Detailed information about deactivating the Windows firewall can be found in the general instructions included
on the weQube product page.
5.5.2.2. Adjusting Sensor Network Settings Automatically via DHCP Server
If the weQube is connected to a DHCP server, activate dynamic host configuration at the sensor either with the
help of weQube software (see section 10.1.1.2) or at the OLED display (see section 6.8.2). A suitable IP address
and subnet mask are assigned to the sensor when it’s restarted.
5.5.2.3. Initial Start-Up of the weQube at a Controller
If you want to place the weQube into service at a controller, please complete the following steps:
• Connect weQube to the controller. The display at the sensor is activated when supply voltage is applied.
• Install the associated device-specific electronic description file to the hardware manager (e.g. the GS-
DML for Profinet). The required file can be downloaded from www.wenglor.com Product World
Product search (Order No.) Download. Explanations regarding the electronic description file and its
layout are included in the comprehensive operating instructions in PDF format.
• Help regarding installation of the file to the controller, as well as network planning, can be found in the
help files for the respective controller. wenglor offers descriptions for individual controllers which can be
downloaded from: www.wenglor.com Product World Product search (Order No.) Download.
Caution: When operated with a controller, settings which have been changed via the website or the OLED
display are overwritten by the controller.
