Parker Hannifin GEM6K manual Connecting the 6K to the PC through Ethernet

Step 3— Connecting the 6K to the PC through Ethernet

c.At the DOS prompt, type the arp –scommand (see example below) and press ENTER.

				Spaces
arp –s 192.168.10.30 0-90-55-0-0-1 192.168.10.31				(press the space bar)
6K’s IP Address			IP Address of Ethernet Card
	6K’s Ethernet Address
(from TNT report)		(from TNT report)

d.To verify the mapped addresses, type the arp –acommand and press ENTER. If you receive the response “No ARP Entries Found”:

1)Switch to the Motion Planner Terminal window, type NTFEN2 (or NTFEN1 if using a peer-to-peer network) and press ENTER, then type RESET and press ENTER.

2)Switch to the DOS window, type the ping command and press ENTER:

ping	192.168.10.30
			If your PC responds with “Request
		6K’s IP Address (from TNT report)	Timed Out”, check your Ethernet
(space)			wiring and IP address setting.

3)Repeat the arp –scommand as instructed above. Use arp –ato verify.

4)Switch to the Motion Planner Terminal window, type NTFEN2 (or NTFEN1 if using a peer-to-peer network) and press ENTER, then type RESET and press ENTER.

e.(OPTIONAL) Automate the arp –sstatic mapping command. This allows your PC to automatically perform the static mapping when it is booted; otherwise, you will have to manually perform static mapping every time you boot your PC.

•Windows 95/98: Add the arp –scommand to the Autoexec.bat file.

•Windows NT: Create a batch file that contains the arp –scommand. Save the file (name the file “6KARP.BAT”) to the root directory on the C drive. Using Windows Explorer, locate the 6KARP.BAT file, create a shortcut, then cut and paste the shortcut into the StartUp directory. Windows NT has several StartUp directories to accommodate various user configurations. We recommend using the Administrators or All Users locations. For example, you can paste the shortcut into the WinNt\Profiles\AllUsers\StartMenu\Programs\StartUp directory, allowing all users to statically map the IP and Mac addresses whenever the PC is booted.

1.Connect the 6K Controller to your computer using a cross-over 10Base-T cable (5-foot cable provided in ship kit).

2.In Motion Planner’s Terminal window, click the{bmc b_comset.bmp} button to view the Communications Settings dialog. Select the Port tab, select “Network” and type the IP address (192.168.10.30) in the text field. Click OK.

You may now communicate to the controller over the Ethernet interface. Reminder: You cannot communicate to the 6K with simultaneous transmissions over both the “ETHERNET” and “RS-232” (PORT1) connections.

Ethernet Connection Status LEDs (located on the RJ-45 “ETHERNET” connector):

•Green LED turns on to indicate the Ethernet physical connection is OK.

•Yellow LED flashes to indicate the 6K is transmitting over the Ethernet interface.
