Communication connections
Figure11: Start up the network interfaces in four steps
The XCAcontains the VxWorks real-time operating system and a
Windows component (XP embedded). Both communicate with each
other via a common memory (shared memory). The expansion
modules and the required supply voltages (power supply unit) are
connected via the U-bus. The PCI bus is used for quick extensions in
the future.
Startup of the network interfaces is described in four steps in the
following chapter (
(1) Assignment of an
in-house network address
for connecting the
controller to an existing in-house network; the specified IP
address is an example, the alias name (vxHost) is specified by
the manufacturer.
(2) Change the
Windows address
; the specified address
(192.168.212.1) should be retained if possible.
(3) Change the
VxWorks address
; the specified address
(192.168.212.2) should be retained if possible; the alias name
(vxTarget) is specified by the manufacturer.
(4) Set up a
PC address
for communication with the controller via
the in-house network (programming with MULTIPROG).
The X Manager can be used to configure these settings for the local
network. (See Schleicher X Manager on page xxx)
The manual modification of a few selected parameters is described in
the following chapters.
