I'm quite embarrassed to say that I only have a rudimentary understanding of IP addresses.
I have a PanelView Component 2711C-K3M HMI
IP Address 169.254.254.2
I connect to the PanelView with a standard USB programming cable
I let Windows obtain an IP address automatically.
I open Firefox, and Enter the IP. address 169.254.254.2 into the browser bar.
The PanelView software loads, and it works fine. (Well it takes it's sweet time, but that's another issue)
I also have connected to the system two Allen Bradley drives.
2097-V33PR3 192.168.1.5 Axis1
2097-V33PR6 192.168.1.6 Axis2
I connect to these through my RJ45 port using a switch Stratix 2000 1783-US05T
If I type in the IP address for one of the drives (192.168.1.5) into the browser, it won't connect.
I have to go into the Local Area Connection Properties and manually set the TCP/IP
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.255
Once this is done, I type in the 192.168.1.5 into the browser, and the MotionView software for the Kinetix300 pops up fine.
Of course if I do this then I lose my connection to the PanelView.
This is on an old IBM Thinkpad WinXP SP 3
I suspect that the problem is this particular laptop, because I am able to go online with both units using a different laptop, still WinXP SP3
It's infuriating trying to figure out why it works on one laptop and not on another.
I was actually working out in the shop with two laptops
Is there an IP address that I can enter in order to connect to both the USB, and the Ethernet cable?
Is there an order that I can connect devices ie, connect to the PanelView first, and then connect to the Kinetix?
I think you can change the IP address on the Kinetix300, but I am not sure.
