Modbus TCP
Enables the combination TCP/IP services (up to 2 User
Sockets can be configured) and/or the following fieldbus:
Ethernet/IP (Explicit Messaging), Modbus TCP (Server or
Client).
IP Addressing in the Line Parameters branch determines
the method of address selection, either user defined
(Static Assignment) or DHCP.
NOTE
GeniusPlus can be connected for scanner configuration directly through the Ethernet TCP/IP
connection. See Configuration Through Ethernet.
Line Parameters
The parameters available in this group define and report the fundamental information about the system.
For details refer to "Internetworking with TCP/IP, vol. I", by Douglas E. Comer.
MAC
This is a read-only parameter, which displays the address of the network interface card (NIC).
Baud Rate
This is a read-only parameter. All modules are set to use the automatic baud rate mechanism where the Fieldbus-
TCP/IP Master defines the speed of the connection. After connection the actual speed will be displayed in this
parameter.
IP Addressing
Selections:
Static Assignment
the IP Address can be set manually through the IP_address,
IP_netmask and IP_gateway parameters.
DHCP
the IP address is assigned by a DHCP server when getting the
scanner configuration. In this case the IP address parameters
are read-only and display the DHCP assigned address.
Remote Assignment
the IP address is assigned by a remote network device (PC)
using the IPConfig address configuration application available
on the CD-ROM. In this case the IP address parameters are
read-only and display the remotely assigned address.
IP_address
If the IP Addressing parameter is set to Static Assignment, the Internet Protocol (IP) network address can be defined
manually. Consult your network administrator to obtain a new address. For other IP Addressing selections, this
parameter is read-only.
IP_netmask
If the IP Addressing parameter is set to Static Assignment, the subnet mask address can be defined manually. Consult
your network administrator to obtain a new address. For other IP Addressing selections, this parameter is read-only.
IP_gateway
If the IP Addressing parameter is set to Static Assignment, the gateway address can be defined manually. Consult
your network administrator to obtain a new address. For other IP Addressing selections, this parameter is read-only.
