Operation
The Connection dialog box will appear.
Connection Dialog Box
Select [Discover] to find the drive(s) on the network available for connection.
NOTE
[Discover] may fail to find the drive’s IP address on a computer with both a wireless network card and
a wired network card. If this happens, try one of these remedies:
•
Disable the wireless network card and then use [Discover].
• Type in the drive’s IP address manually at the box [IP Address].
Then click [Connect].
Highlight the drive (or drives) to be connected and click [Connect] in the dialog box.
Connection Box with Discovered Drive
In the lower left of the MotionView display, the Message WIndow will contain the connection status message.
The message “Successfully connected to drive B04402200450_192.168.124.120” indicates that the drive
B04402200450 with IP address 192.168.124.120 is connected.
Sequentially connecting 2 Ethernet-based Drives
If when trying to sequentially commission several Ethernet-based drives with the same PC, MotionView
discovers the IP address, but then reports that the drive cannot be connected; open the Command window
on your PC and run the command “arp -d” just before connecting MotionView to another drive.
ARP is the Address Resolution Protocol. Each PositionServo drive has two addresses, one MAC address and
one IP address. ARP links these two addresses together. Each PositionServo drive has the same factory
default IP address, but a different MAC address. After connecting the first drive, the Ethernet hub will cache
its IP and MAC address for about 2 minutes. When another drive with the same IP address and different
MAC address is connected to the network, ARP will observe the mismatching between the IP address and
MAC address.
