6.4.2 Network installation using the CB-Manager software
For the subsequent Modbus/TCP communication a unique network address must be assigned to each of
the devices. This can be done very easily, using the CB-Manager software to search for devices which
have a MAC address 00-12-34-AE-xx-xx, which identifies the device as A
PLUS
of Camille Bauer. Because
this is performed by means of a UDP broadcast telegram, the devices are allowed to have the same
network address at the beginning, e.g. "192.168.1.101" as factory default.
As soon as to all the devices network settings with unique IP address have been assigned, they may be
accessed and read using the Modbus/TCP protocol.
Select "settings" under options
| interface. The interface type
has to be set to "TCP-IP".
Devices in the local network
Set settings to "CAM, APLUS".
Along with all A
PLUS
also
SINEAX CAM devices installed
in the same network will be
shown. The identification of the
devices is possible by means
of their MAC address, which is
given on the nameplate (see
chapter 6.4.1
).
To assign a
unique
network
address to a device, select it in
the list and the click on
"
change
".
The following settings have to be arranged with the
network administrator:
-
IP address
: This one must be
unique
, i.e. may be
assigned in the network only once.
-
Subnet mask
: Defines how many devices are
directly addressable in the network. This setting is
equal for all the devices.
-
Default gateway
: Is used to resolve addresses
during communication between different networks.
Should contain a valid address within the own
network.
-
Hostname
: Individual designation for each device.
Helps to identify the device in the device list.
