The IP address is required for non-cyclic Ethernet communication via the Unified Communication Channel (non-real-time). Refer to the chapter Sercos Communication Cycle for details.
Two types of addressing are available:
Automatic IP address assignment (default)
Manual IP address assignment (hardware)
With automatic IP address assignment, the IP address and the subnet mask are assigned automatically. The Sercos master uses the following default values:
IP address: IP address configured for Ethernet_1 (ETH1)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Consequently, the IP address of the device is set to 172.20.0.•••. The subnet mask is set to the subnet mask of the master.
With manual IP address assignment, you need to set the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway address of the slave using the Device Assistant tool.
