2.6.4 Configuring networks

Introduction to the controller network
The PickMaster PowerPac and the robot controller communicate through Ethernet.
If you have problems in connecting to the network, contact the local network
administrator.
Configuring the controller network
If a new local area network (LAN) is created specifically for PickMaster PowerPac
the following settings can be used.
Application manual - PickMaster® Twin - PowerPac
3HAC064218-001 Revision: B
Note
The PickMaster PowerPac must be conntected to the LAN port on the controller.
Do not use the service port.
• Use static IP numbering with different addresses for both the computer and
the robot controller.
• IP addresses: 192.168.1.X (where X is between 1 and 253).
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.1.254
• DNS: N/A.
• Wins: N/A.
Note
The robot controller has a service Ethernet card configured with an IP address
(192.168.125.1). Therefore, the same subnet (192.168.125.X) must not be used
for the standard LAN Ethernet card.
For more information, see the Windows documentation and the product manual
for the robot controller to set up the IP configuration.
Note
It's not allowed to use any of the following IP addresses which are allocated for
other functions:
• 192.168.127.0 - 255
The IP address cannot be on a subnet which overlaps with any of the above
reserved IP addresses. If a subnet mask in the class B range has to be used,
then a private address of class B must be used to avoid any overlapping. Contact
your local network administrator regarding network overlapping.
See the section Communication in Technical reference manual - System
parameters.
