Overview

Setup Wizard Available

The Motion Planner Wizard Editor provides a setup wizard, called “Network”, to help you establish 6K Client/Server communication (up to six servers).

The 6K is equipped for Ethernet communication. It includes 10Base-T (10Mbps twisted pair); TCP/IP protocol. RJ-45 connector. Default IP address is 192.168.10.30. You have these options for networking the 6K over Ethernet:

•6K as a client. You can connect the 6K via Ethernet to multiple devices, creating a client/server network. The 6K is the client, and has the ability to open or close a connection with another device (server) and request information from that device. The 6K supports up to 6 simultaneous server connections. Devices (servers) that may be connected to the 6K include:

−Allen Bradley SLC5-05 PLC (see page 12 for setup procedures)

−OPTO22 SNAP I/O, using Modbus/TCP protocol (see page 9 for setup procedures)

− DVT vision system cameras (see page 11 for setup procedures)
