Using Mactalk Over Ethernet - JVL MAC00-EC41 User Manual

10.1
10.1.1 Introduction
The configuration software tool MacTalk is able to connect to a motor either using a se-
rial connection or an Ethernet based TCP/IP connection.
Please notice that there are some limitations/precautions.
• MAC00-Exx modules with a hardware version of 1.3 or older do NOT support Mac-
talk over Ethernet communication. See also
page
Currently only the Profinet, EthernetIP, Sercos, ModbusTCP and EtherCAT proto-
•
cols support MacTalk over Ethernet.
PROFINET IO firmware version must be firmware version 3.17 Build 425 or higher.
EthernetIP must be firmware version 3.21 Build 425 or higher.
ModbusTCP must be firmware version 3.17 or higher.
EtherCAT must be min. firmware version 3.25 build 1120 or higher.
Sercos: All firmware versions support MacTalk over Ethernet.

• Make sure the motor has the latest firmware installed, that is V2.11 or newer for
MAC400-4500 and V9.01 for MAC50-141. Ethernet connectivity is only supported in
the MIS/MILxxxxxxExxxxxx series of stepper motors. For the MIS/MIL motors
please use firmware V1.12 or greater. All the firmwares required should be included
in the install package for MacTalk or by using the internet update feature in MacTalk.

• Make sure that Mactalk is version 1.50.49 or newer.
• Firmware updates over the Ethernet channel are only possible if the Ethernet module
firmware build number are higher than 1400. And only with a Mactalk version of
1.70.27 or newer. And if using MIS/MILxxx motors it also requires the MIS/MIL motor
version to be 4.01.073 or higher. See also

• eRxP programming over Ethernet is only possible with MIS/MIL motors or with
Ethernet module firmwares with build numbers of at least 1120.
• You should not have a serial cable connected at the same time as Mactalk over Ether-
net, as it will ruin any attempts on eRxP programming, and firmware updates.
• In MIS/MIL motors with hardware version before 1.6 OR Ethernet hardware version
before 1.3 disturbances of motor run will happen if Mactalk over Ethernet is connect-
ed while running in some modes. If there is an info text on the Ethernet tab telling the
motor is capable of running with 1ms cycle time, then both the hardware versions are
new and OK for this also.
The hardware required is the mandatory 24V supply for the motor and the Ethernet ca-
ble going either from an Ethernet switch or directly from the PC to the M12 connector
on the MAC00-Exx module in the motor.
In order to establish the Ethernet connection from the PC where MacTalk is running, to
the motor the PC and the motor needs to be configured to run on the same subnet.
By default the motor is configured to run on the following IP-address: 192.168.0.XX at
startup where XX refers to the last 2 digits in the MAC-ID which is printed on a label.
So, if a MAC-ID has the value: 00 : 50 : C2 : D0 : C9 : 14, then the IP address is set to:
192.168.0.20. Please remark that the MAC address is in hexadecimal and that the IP ad-
dress is in decimal.
