4.5 Network settings on the Compact Vision System
You can use SBO-DeviceManager to define the settings for
the IP addressing of your Compact Vision System. Proceed as
follows:
1. Launch SBO-DeviceManager by double-clicking on the
corresponding symbol on the Windows desktop,
or for standard installation:
In the Windows menu [Start], select the entry
[Festo Software] – [SBO-DeviceManager].
2. Create a connection to the device using
SBO-DeviceManager.
3. Set the network parameters of your Compact Vision
System using SBO-DeviceManager (IP address, network
mask and if applicable the IP address of the gateway).
Creating a connection to the device
Search function for
devices SBO-DeviceManager offers a search function. This search
function allows creation of a connection to devices whose
network address is not known.
The search function uses a special Ethernet procedure
(multicast). With this procedure, messages can be trans­
mitted simultaneously to several slaves or to a closed group
of slaves.
The SBO devices always use the address 239.255.2.3 for
this process. 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
network nodes need to be found, the network nodes must be
enabled 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.
