Dear all,
it seems that I cannot connect IndraWorks DS 15V20.0 to a IndraDrive Cs that has SoE for the master communication activated. Of course, EoE is active as well (virtual ethernet port and IP settings are configured properly).
I have spent nearly two days on that problem until I came to the idea to switch the master communication to "not active" (using the drive system's panel / LCD display). After I had done that and had rebooted the drive system, IndraWorks DS immediately found the drive system.
However, the goal is to connect the drive system to a CtrlX that has the Ethercat master app running. Therefore, the drive system must have Ethercat SoE activated.
So how can I use IndraWorks DS with the drive system while the drive system communicates with the CtrlX Ethercat master and thus has Ethercat SoE enabled?
Further information:
- I believe that I have read all related passages in the available manuals.
- I don't know whether a certain firmware is necessary on the drive system to have this scenario working. The current version is 20V18. If that's not sufficient, I'd be grateful for a hint.
- I have tried all topologies that IndraWorks DS offers in its connection wizard, but none worked. IndraWorks DS didn't detect the drive system in any constellation unless Ethercat SoE was turned off.
- Currently, the drive system is connected directed to a dedicated network port at the engineering PC. That network port does not have connections to other devices.
- I have full admin access at the engineering PC. The drive system's virtual IP address is 172.31.254.1/255.255.0.0, the PC's IP address at the dedicated network port is 172.31.254.10/255.255.0.0. "route print" and "ipconfig /all" show the expected output.
- However, IndraWorks DS only finds the drive system if Ethercat SoE is turned off.
- The attached screenshots actually show the online data.
