Network

Access the network configuration through CONFIGURATION and Network.

Network interfaces settings

From here, you can change the configuration settings of Robot and Configuration ports. Make sure that your configuration settings are compatible with the configuration of the devices connected to EYE+. They must be on the same network.

ROBOT port

The default settings of the Robot port are presented in Table 23.

Table 23 EYE+ Controller default Robot Ethernet configuration
Ethernet port	IP address	Subnet mask	Ports
Robot	192.168.0.50	255.255.255.0	7171, 171, 17171

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.

Note

EYE+ Controller listens to the three ports defined in Table 23 simultaneously, we recommend to choose 7171, however depending on your requirements you might choose another one from the list.

CONFIG port

The default settings of the Configuration port are presented in Table 24.

Table 24 Default EYE+ *Configuration* port settings
Ethernet port	Default IP address	Default subnet mask	Default gateway
Configuration	192.168.1.50	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.

Note

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