Ethernet-Interface and IP-Address-Data of Perfect Harmony

As a standard interface the series PERFECT HARMONY offers

an Ethernet terminal for communication with PG/PC.

As per standard default setting following values are assigned

to the Ethernet terminal:

- IP-Address 172.17.20.16
- Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
- Standard Gateway 172.17.1.1

The definition of the IP-Address identifies the individual unit ( node number).
The definition of the Subnet mask depends on the application class:
Class Subnet mask IP-address range no. of networks no. of hosts network / host bits
A 255.0.0.0 1 to 126 126 16 777 214 7 / 24
B 255.255.0.0 128 to 191 16 384 65 534 14 / 16
C 255.255.255.0 192 to 223 2 097 152 254 21 / 8

Communication to drives can be set up in any of the three classes. The first octet of the IP-address will typically be
selected within the range assigned to the Class and Subnet Mask.

The definition of a Standard Gateway is only relevant if the communication link is networked (if e.g. a router is used,
the “Standard Gateway Address” will be set to the “Router Address”).

Setting up the Ethernet Interface

As first step the properties of the LAN-connection

have to be specified as “Ethernet“ and the respective
identifiers (IP-address, Subnet mask) have to be set
in accordance with the settings of the PH drive.

Start > Settings > Network Connections

Depending on installation or language of your laptop,

following differing approaches might be required:
- Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections
- Start > Einstellungen > Systemsteuerung > Netzwerk-
verbindungen
- Start > Einstellungen > Netzwerkverbindungen

- mark “LAN-Connection“
- (right mouse click) “Properties“
- in the pop-up menu: change to tab “General“
- select “Internetprotocoll (TCP/IP)”
