6.4 Problems with the Ethernet connection
In the event of problems with the Ethernet connection, the IP configuration of your motor controller and
the IP configuration of your PC are presumably not matched to one another.
Determine the IP configuration of the motor controller and change it
FCT enables the following:
– Search for the motor controller on the network
– Determine the IP configuration and change it
1. Under the FCT menu [Component][FCT Interface] open the “FCT Interface” window. With <Scan...>
start the “Festo Field Device Tool” (Netzscan) program. All reachable motor controllers are dis­
played in accordance with the filter setting.
2. In the context menu for the device found, select the command [Network]. Then the “Network set­
tings for the device” dialog is displayed. With this dialogue, the IP configuration can be determined
and changed (possible settings
è
Tab. 5.15).
Determine the IP configuration of the PC and change it - with Windows (e.g. Windows 7)
1. Select the command [Start][System control][Network and Internet][Network and Approval Cen­
ter][Local Area Connection].
2. In the “Status” dialog of [Local Area Connection], select the command “Properties”.
3. Highlight in the following dialog window [Internet protocol Version 4].
4. Select the command “Properties”. After that, in the “Properties of Internet protocol version 4” the
IP configuration of the corresponding Ethernet interface of the PC is displayed.
5. Set an IP configuration suitable for the motor controller (
è
following example(s)).
Example: Matching IP configurations to suit one another
The ex-factory IP configuration is particularly well suited to a direct connection. Ex factory, the DHCP
server of the motor controller is active (
è
Tab. 5.15). In this case, the motor controller has a firmly
parameterized IP configuration (IP address 192.168.178.1; subnet mask: 255.255.255.0).
To match the PC to the factory setting, select the PC setting [source the IP address automatically] or set
an appropriate fixed IP configuration (e.g. IP address 192.168.178.109; subnet mask: 255.255.255.0;
Standardgateway: – (keine Adresse)).
Check the network settings on the PC - with Windows (e.g. Windows 7)
1. Select the command [Start] [(All)Programs] [Accessories] [Input Request].
2. Enter the command
ipconfig
or
ipconfig /all
.
3. Check whether the devices are accessible in the same subnet. Contact your network administrator,
if necessary.
The command Ping can be used to determine if the motor controller can be reached on the network.
1. Select the command [Start] [(All)Programs] [Accessories] [Input Request].
2. Enter the following command line:
ping 192.168.178.1
(IP address of the motor controllers
ex-factory)
