Hey guys,
I have a general question about how you would do the following. Some information in advance:
I am using PROFINET on a R-30iB Plus controller. I normally directly connect the Ethernet port 1 (CD38A) to the physical PROFINET network to be able to remote access the controller over the machine network, e.g.:
IP address PROFINET 172.169.1.10
IP address Ethernet port 1 172.169.1.11
Now I have a Cognex camera communicating over Telnet via Ethernet with the controller.
Would you completely separate the camera network and use another subnet and connect the camera equipment to Ethernet port 2 (CD38B)?
Or would you connect the camera to port 1. In this case, remote access via a PC and communication with the camera would both be managed over port 1 (CD38A), if possible?
How do you normally do such a setup? What is the preferred setup (from your experience)?
Appreciate your help!
