Points to Note with SOFTNET Industrial Ethernet Modules
Introduction
Modules operated with the “SOFTNET Industrial Ethernet” software product are
integrated in Windows just like a standard network adapter supplemented by
additional protocols. The station parameters for such modules can only be set with
the standard mechanisms of Windows.
Parameters
The parameters to be set with Windows mechanisms are as follows:
S
IP address
S
Subnet mask
S
Gateway address
Even when changing the station parameters during the initial configuration, the
Windows configuration program must be used. During the initial configuration, you
are prompted to start this tool.
Transferring the Project Engineering Data
Note
Make sure that the network parameters of the PC station match the information
entered in the configuration in your project. If this is not the case, it is not possible
to establish connections.
When a configuration is transferred from the project engineering system to a PC
station and the transferred configuration contains different network parameters
from those configured locally on the PC station, a warning is displayed. In this
case, you must adapt the project engineering configuration in your project or set
the local parameters according to the project engineering configuration.
