The individual components can be tested by “pinging” them. Connect a laptop computer’s ethernet port to a spare port on the Phoenix hub in cabinet A1. Set the laptops IP address to 192.169.54.205 and Subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. Now select “Start”, and “cmd” to open the ”dos” prompt and type “ping 192.168.xxx.yyy” to test the communications with the various components. The IP addresses you need to test are listed in a document (that should be with your electrical drawings) called “PLC Addresses” –
Rexroth rewind drives = 192.168.54.51 (1L) to 192.168.54.82 (16R)
JVL positioning motors = 192.168.55.51 (1L) to 192.168.55.82 (16R)
Bluetooth Slaves = 192.168.54.121 (1L) to 192.168.54.152 (16R)
Bluetooth Masters = 192.168.54.101 (M01) to 192.168.54.108 (M08)
If you are getting a “ping” reply from the Bluetooth masters and slaves but not from the JVL or Rexroth drives, the cable sockets on the Rexroth drive are a likely cause. If you are not able to ping the Bluetooth master or slave, you can bypass them by temporarily connecting a CAT5 cable from the Phoenix repeater directly to the Rexroth drive in place of the Bluetooth slave. If you can ping the Rexroth drive and JVL positioner, then the Bluetooth is the problem. If you still cannot ping the Rexroth drive or the JVL positioner, connect your temporary CAT5 cable directly to the JVL unit with a simple coupler and see if you can ping that. By then connecting the temporary cable to each of the two ports on the Rexroth drive, you can ascertain which of the ports are working
