Ethernet Networking

Overview

The 6K is equipped for Ethernet communication. It includes 10Base-T (10Mbps twisted pair);
TCP/IP protocol. RJ-45 connector. Default IP address is 192.168.10.30. You have these
options for networking the 6K over Ethernet:

Setup Wizard Available

The Motion Planner
Wizard Editor provides a
setup wizard, called
“Network”, to help you
establish 6K Client/Server
communication (up to six
servers).

•

6K as a client

. You can connect the 6K via Ethernet to multiple devices, creating a

client/server network. The 6K is the

client

, and has the ability to open or close a

connection with another device (

server

) and request information from that device. The

6K supports up to 6 simultaneous server connections. Devices (servers) that may be
connected to the 6K include:

−

Allen Bradley SLC5-05 PLC (see page

for setup procedures)

−

OPTO22 SNAP I/O, using Modbus/TCP protocol (see page

for setup

procedures)

−

DVT vision system cameras (see page

for setup procedures)
