In this video we will show you how to connect
your SoMove software to your laptop or PC so you will need Ethernet cable
and a drive
The first thing you want to do is to disable your Antivirus firewall and going in your Ethernet setting to set up Ethernet port
choose Ethernet
go down to properties
We want make sure that IPv4 and IPv6 are both checked
because we can connect either one of them, we are going to use IPv4 in this example
We want to click on IPv4 and use the following IP address that we can put in
so we put in 10.172.86.10
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
OK
then OK again
And we can close out Ethernet window
Now, we need to go in to set up our drive. In this example, we use SoMove software, but you need remote HMI
to connect and go in to set up your Ethernet setting, so in this example with the HMI
You are going to choose Fixed, put in your IP address and change the last octet
to 1
255.255.255.0
so the IP address is the same except the last one
Uhm
You will have to power cycle the drive after making the change
so let go in and power cycle the drive and when we bring it up
we can open SoMove and go to Edit Connection/Scan
we want to go to Modbus TCP
which is the IPv4
We are going to the Gear View, Advanced setting
We do not put IP address here, we are going to more and there is a scan tab
put your drive's ip address 10.172.86
.1 and we just do a single scan of 1
and then we apply and click OK
and we do OK again
And now we scan the network and see if we can find our drive over Ethernet. If picture comes up, it is there, we can look at IP address
That is the IP address of the drive, go ahead and double click it
It brings up a warning, make sure you read the warning before proceeding
uhm
After you verify everything is ok, then check the box
and do OK
right now, it is going to load the program currently in the drive up to your SoMove or PC
software that you have opened
and you can tell at very top that you connected when the little bar is going to orange, and it is said connected on bottom left
your IP address should in there for the drive
and we can go up if you want to disconnect from the drive, we can go to the
communication
we can disconnect
and let say you want to modify your program offline and it is blue across on the top, and it is said disconnected on bottom left, you can
you can take the program and store to device offline
and now it is stored the information we have in SoMove over to the drive
store to device is successful, then we can do OK, and we go back up and connect to the drive again
we are going to take the program and load from the drive back over to our screen
just as an example
and this all over Ethernet, this works with Ethernet TCP, Ethernet IP and Profinet
