Ethernet Network Operation
The Ethernet interface is automatically detected. The I/O Module’s interface
supports either T10 or T100. IP address and ports must be set up before use. A
dedicated peer-to-peer network is recommended due the high traffic rate of the
UDP broadcast when using a fast update rate.
Status indications are described in the LaserSpeed I/O Module Operator Guide.
IP
Sets the Ethernet IP address of the I/O Module Default is
192.168.001.111
UdpIp
Set the address the UDP will broadcast to. Should be the
IP of the Master.
UDP Port
Port number for UDP broadcast. This is the port the
Master should use to receive data. Default = 4750
TCP port
TCP port for sending and receiving setup data. Default =
4751
Gateway
= 0.0.0.0
Mask
= 255.255.255.000
UDP Data Broadcast
These values are updated every update period of the gauge and sent out by a
UDP broadcast to the IP at a port specified during setup.

5th bit
Note:
When sending configuration parameters to the LS9000/LS8000, the
velocity and length update from the gauge is temporarily halted while the
LS9000/LS8000 is updated to the new setup. This will interrupt data being sent
via the Ethernet connection.
