Combined industrial networks
There are many possible solutions of combined industrial networks. For example,
the robot controller can be both master and slave on the Public Network as well
as master on the Private Network.

This can be implemented by setting up an EtherNet/IP adapter on the Public Network
and an EtherNet/IP scanner targeting both the Public and Private Networks at the
same time. The traffic for both industrial networks on the Public Network can share
the ethernet medium with each other and with other non-industrial network traffic.
Configuration
Reserved IP addresses
Before configuring IP addresses manually, it is important to be aware that some
ranges are reserved by the robot controller. Configuring units or networks that
collide with these reserved addresses will most likely cause network problems.
The following IP address ranges are allocated for internal functions on the controller:
•
192.168.125.0 - 255
•
192.168.126.0 - 255
•
192.168.127.0 - 255
No other robot controller connected network can be on a subnet that overlaps with
any of the above reserved IP addresses. If a subnet mask in the class B range has
to be used, then a private address of class B must be used to avoid any overlapping.
Contact your local network administrator regarding network overlapping. See
section "Communication" in
Technical reference manual - System parameters
.
Note
It is not recommended using leading zeros in dot-decimal notation of IP
addresses. The numbers may wrongly be interpreted as octal numbers. Different
behaviors on virtual and real controllers may be experienced.
