In a system with several Irinos boxes, the Ethernet connection may only be established on one box. This is then referred to as the Master-Box.
|
The Ethernet interface of the Irinos system is a standard Ethernet interface, which is also used, for example, for IT networking. The Irinos system can therefore also be used with standard Ethernet switches.
Data communication between the Irinos system and the PC is fault-tolerant, so that if a packet is lost, a transmission repeat is automatically performed. However, this repetition always leads to a significant delay in the availability of the measured values. A transmission repetition should therefore be an exception in practice.
In order to minimize the number of transmission repetitions, a direct connection between the Irinos system and the PC is strongly recommended. To do this, connect the Ethernet interface of the Irinos system to a free Ethernet interface of the PC. Experience shows that transmission repetitions practically never occur.
Operation of the Irinos system via router, VPN connections, wireless connections (WLAN) or similar is not intended.
The Ethernet interface of the Irinos system has an automatic "cross-over detection". It does not matter whether a 1:1 Ethernet cable or a crossed Ethernet cable is used.

The DHCP server of the Irinos system is activated on delivery. This is the ideal setting for a direct connection to the PC. Before the Irinos Box is operated in an IT network, the DHCP server must be deactivated via a direct connection. This is done via the Irinos tool. Please refer to the Irinos Tool documentation for more information. |
Procedure
The procedure for the Ethernet cabling is described in the following tutorial:
