Ethernet network scan

Note: communication with the Ethernet module (Ekip Com modbus TCP) is only possible if the “Local bus” parameter is enabled. Please refer to the device manual for information on enabling it.

How to start scanning via Ethernet

The procedure for scanning to search for devices connected by Ethernet network is described below.

On page Scanning in Connection to devices, to configure Ethernet network parameters, click on Configure next to network.

Set the parameters and click on OK.

IMPORTANT: the values set must match those set on the device.
>> For details on the network communication parameters, see Ethernet scan parameters.

Click on SCANNING next to network: Ekip Connect starts the scan.

Note: while scanning is in progress, it is possible to use Ekip Connect. However, it is not possible to launch another scan.

When scanning is finished, proceed as follows:

If it found...	Then...	And then...
only one device	The menu items for the device are shown. The page Scanning is updated with information on the device found.	1. Check that the device status is CONNECTED. 2. Select the required page and start configuring and monitoring the device.
more than one device	The menu items for which Ekip Connect automatically activated communication appear. The page Scanning is updated with information on the device found.	1. Click on SELECT corresponding to the device in question. 2. Check that the device status is CONNECTED. 3. Select the required page to start configuring and monitoring the device.

Note: if the scan terminates and no device has been found, consult “Troubleshooting”.

Ethernet scan parameters

The parameters for the Ethernet scan are described below.

Parameter	Description
Network adapters	Allows you to select the network adapter. IMPORTANT: if a new adapter has become available while performing Ekip Connect, click on Refresh. Intercept unsolicited ARP packets: enables broadcast communication search for automatic network scanning.
Timeout	Maximum wait time for a response from the devices being searched for.
IP Addresses	Use IP address list: search for the device in the entered address list. Use IP address range: search for the device in the entered address range.
Slave Addresses	Slave address of the device.
