Setting the multicast configuration

Several scanners ("Listen only" or "Input only" connections) can access multicast telegrams which

are sent by drives. Settings for multicast configuration have to be carried out as well in the

EtherNet/IP configuration software (z. B. »RSLogix 5000« from Rockwell).
By default, the Communication Unit automatically generates the multicast IP start address used for

the I/O data transfer. The TTL default value for multicast transmission is ’1’, so the multicast I/O

data packets are exclusively propagated via the local network.

The following multicast codes are configurable:

Multicast IP Start Address
Multicast IP start addresses serve to send a message to the members of a certain group (i.e. possibly

to several nodes).
The multicast IP start address is set/changed in

C13006

.

The currently used multicast IP address of the drive is displayed in

C13016/1...4

.

Note!

You can also explicitly set the multicast IP start address and the multicast TTL value. We

recommend, however, not to change the default settings in order to ensure a secure

multicast transmission.

Code

Description

C13018

Selection for multicast IP addressing via instance attribute 9 (Mcast Config) in the

TCP/IP

Interface Object (245 / 0xF5) ( 126)

• Value ’0’: The default algorithm is used.

• Value ’1’: The address from code

C13006

is used as multicast IP start address.

C13019

Setting of the multicast TTL value for the validity time of data packets in the EtherNet/IP

network

(Instance attribute 8 (TTL Value) in the

TCP/IP Interface Object (245 / 0xF5) ( 126)

)

C13020

Used to set how many multicast IP addresses will be assigned.

(Instance attribute 9 (Num Mcast) in the

TCP/IP Interface Object (245 / 0xF5) ( 126)

)
