4.4 Making network settings with the Compact Vision System
You can make the settings for IP-addressing of your Compact
Vision System with the FCT (device manager of the plug-in
“SBO..-M Network”). Proceed as follows:
1. Create a connection to the device with the Device Man­
ager. Before doing this, disconnect any active connection
to the camera network with the button [Disconnect net­
work].
2. Set the network parameters of your Compact Vision Sys­
tem with the Device Manager (IP address, network mask
and if applicable the IP address of the gateway).
Creating a connection to the device
Search function for
devices The Device Manager offers a search function. This search
function enables a connection to be created to devices for
which the network address is not known. The search
function uses a special Ethernet procedure (multicast). With
this procedure, messages can be transmitted
simultaneously to several stations or to a closed group of
stations. The Multicast address 239.255.2.3. is used for this
procedure.
If the search takes place within a network node, no special
configuration of the network node (router, server etc.) is ne­
cessary. 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 characteristics of the
device search (search range and search duration) corres­
pondingly. If you have any questions, consult your system
administrator.
