4.7.4.1. Network and communications Protocol

The

CVMk2's Ethernet card and μSD memory are specifically designed to communicate in

Ethernet networks with Modbus/TCP protocol.

With this system, all the RS-485 communication BUS wiring is extraordinarily optimised, thus

optimising the IT infrastructure already created and facilitating its installation.

4.7.4.2. IP Address Configuration

WARNING: The IP assigned to the

CVMk2 with the arp commands is

temporary and the system will recover its original IP when it loses the power

supply. To save the new IP in the system, enter the configuration menu, verify

the modifications and exit the menu after saving changes. Accordingly, the

new IP will be saved in the analyzer.

The ARP commands can be used to configure the Ethernet card's IP address.

As for the Windows ARP command, the PC ARP table must have at least one IP address

defined in addition to its own IP address. If the ARP table is empty, the command will return

an error message. From a command window, type in "arp-a", to verify that there is at least one

entry in the ARP table. If the ARP table does not exist or the machine using it is the only one

in the table, ping any other IP address on the network to generate a new entry in the table.

As example if you want to configure the IP address 172.16.14.254 and the MAC address of

the card is 00-20-4A-8D-66-66
