This tab is used to configure the communication settings for the individual slaves that support Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE).

Table 451: Settings

“Virtual Ethernet Port”

The Ethernet communication parameters have to be set according to the parameters of the virtual Ethernet adapter.

“IP address”

IP address of the slave in the network (length: 4 bytes)

The IP port has to be in the same range as the virtual Ethernet adapter. For example, if the address of the network adapter is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the IP port has to be in the range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.

“Subnet mask”

Subnet mask (length: 4 bytes)

“Default gateway”

Default gateway (length: 4 bytes)
