The IP Routing tab allows you to configure the IP routes in the controller.
The parameter Enable IP forwarding allows you to deactivate the IP forwarding service of the controller. When deactivated, the communication is not routed from a network to another one. The devices on the device network are no longer accessible from the control network (Web pages, DTM, and so on).
The Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller can have up to three Ethernet interfaces. Using a routing table is necessary to communicate with remote networks connected to different Ethernet interfaces. The gateway is the IP address used to connect to the remote network, which needs to be in local network of the controller.
This graphic depicts an example network, in which the last two rows of devices (gray and red) need to be added in the routing table:
Use the routing tables to manage the IP forwarding. The routing tables are settled with:
|
Network Destination |
Network Mask |
Gateway |
|---|---|---|
|
xx.xx.xx.xx |
xx.xx.xx.xx |
xx.xx.xx.xx |
To add a route, double click My controller then click Ethernet Services > IP Routing > Add Route.
