How to change the network settings of a Flexi Soft gateway:
Click on the
Flexi Soft gateway network settings
button. The
Network scan
dialog is
opened.
Click on the
Scan
button. Your network is scanned for connected gateways and the
devices found are displayed in the list.
Flexi Soft Designer with version
O
1.4.0 performs an UDP scan. This means that all Flexi
Soft Ethernet gateways with firmware version
O
V2.00.0 (FX0-GMOD, FX0-GPNT and
FX0-GENT) in the network will be detected, even if they are in a different subnet.
A FX0-GETC can be detected as well, if it has been configured for EoE before (see
section 5.5.7 “Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE)” on page 110 and section 5.5.8 “TCP/IP
configuration interface” on page 110).
Flexi Soft Designer version < 1.4.0 can detect only gateways with a matching subnet
address.
Click on the gateway you want to edit.
Enter the new settings in the
Edit IP address
area.
Click on the
Set device config
button to transfer the new settings to the device.
If the Flexi Soft Designer identifies a Flexi Classic series gateway in the network, this will be
displayed in the list as well. These gateways are equipped with an internal web server and
can be addressed using the
Open web browser
button.
5.1.2
Ethernet TCP/IP socket interface
The FX0-GENT, FX0-GMOD and FX0-GPNT Ethernet gateways support a total number of
four TCP/IP socket interfaces each. This allows multiple applications to communicate with
the gateway at the same time over Ethernet TCP/IP. The number of possible connections
depends on the gateway’s firmware version.
