This configuration means that the IP address of your robot/PLC must be between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254 except 192.168.0.50.

If this IP address range is not compatible with your robot/PLC configuration, you can change the IP address and subnet mask of the EYE+ Controller to be on the same network as your robot/PLC.

255.255.255.0

0.0.0.0

This default configuration means that your computer can only connect via direct connection and the IP address of your computer’s port must be between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 except 192.168.1.50.

If you want to connect EYE+ to your company network via indirect connection, you need to change the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of the Configuration port of EYE+ to match your company network configuration.

It is also possible to use the DHCP configuration mode. The DHCP server will automatically give an IP address, subnet mask and gateway to the EYE+ Configuration port.

Bemerkung

To find out the settings applied by the DHCP server, you must ask your company’s IT department which IP address has been linked.
