4.4 Making network settings with the Compact Vision System
The settings for the IP address of your Compact Vision
System can be made using the SBO−DeviceManager. To do
this, proceed as follows:
1. Start the SBO−DeviceManager by double−clicking on the
corresponding symbol on the Windows Desktop.
Or, in the case of a standard installation:
In the Windows [Start] menu, select the entry
[Festo Software] [SBO−DeviceManager].
2. Establish a connection to the device with the SBO−Device
Manager.
3. Set the network parameters of your Compact Vision
System with the SBO−DeviceManager (IP address,
network mask and, if applicable, the IP address of the
gateway).
Establish connection to the device
Device search function The SBO−DeviceManager has a search function. This search
function allows a connection to be established to devices for
which there is no known network address. The search func
tion uses a special Ethernet procedure (Multicast). With this
procedure, messages can be transmitted simultaneously to
several slaves or to a closed group of slaves.
For this process, devices of type SBO always use the address
239.255.2.3. This cannot be changed.
If the search takes place within a network node, no special
configuration of the network node (router, server etc.) is
necessary. However, if devices which lie behind further net
work nodes are to be found, the network nodes must be en
abled for multicast. You must also adapt the properties of the
device search (search range and search duration) accord
ingly. If you have any problems, please consult your system
administrator.
