Configuring the network parameters
10.3.1.
Ethernet (Wi-Fi) IP address, MASK and Gateway
The controllers desired to work as distributed system must be in same network, so
the IP address and MASK must be set with appropriate values. Note that the
controller may support two kind of interfaces Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi.
10.3.2.
Remote server IP
This is the IP address of the DAEnetIP3 controller which digital outputs must be
controlled by the current DAEnetIP3 controller.
10.3.3.
Local Port Range
These are the five ports determined to accept incoming connections from
DAEnetIP3 controller with digital/analog inputs.
10.3.4.
Remote server Port
This is the network port of the remote server. This port must be in the Local Port
Range of the remote DAEnetIP3 controller (remote server).
10.3.5.
Working mode
This parameter determines if the outgoing connection (this is valid for DAEnetIP3
controller with inputs) will be established over Ethernet interface or Wi-Fi interface.
Because the controller has two network settings groups (one for Ethernet and one for
Wireless), the settings that will be valid for the distributed mode are determined by
the working mode (Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface).

Examples

Example 1: Two DAEnetIP3 controllers connected
via UTP cable
This example (figure 39) illustrates how two DAEnetIP3 controllers can be
connected via single UTP cable. They can work standalone without computer or
router. It is described how one digital input and one analog input of one DAEnetIP3
controller (with inputs) can control two digital outputs of another DAEnetIP3 controller
(with outputs).
DAEnetIP3 controller with inputs for example can read some temperature sensor
(connected to AI1) and switch (connected to DI1). DAEnetIP3 controller with outputs
will listen for requests and set its DO1 and DO2 according the given settings. For
example these outputs can control directly relay board.
The settings for the two DAEnetIP3 controllers that must be done are provided
also. Note that in this example are used the Ethernet interface network settings (not
the Wi-Fi interface).
