B.CNC SCREEN DISPLAY FUNCTION FOR THE FS160is/180is/210is APPENDIX B-63164EN/04
- 62 -
B.7 HOST SELECTION (ETHERNET VERSION ONLY)
When the Ethernet version of the CNC screen display function is
started for the first time, a screen for selecting the host CNC loaded
with the FANUC Ethernet board for connection appears.
Choosing the "OK" button with the host CNC selected from the list
starts the CNC screen display function. To add a host CNC to the list,
choose the
"Edit ..." button. The edit screen appears.
The result of editing is saved to the "¥Storage
Card¥FANUC¥HostNc.dat" file.
HostNc.dat file format:
Host-name IP-address port-number [#comment]
l Each item is separated from another with a space or tab
code.
l A line that begins with # is a comment.
l This file is in UNICODE.
Example:
# This is a sample HostNc.dat
Host1 192.168.0.1 6000
Host2 192.168.0.2 6000 # A comment can be written here, too.
# End of file
When the CNC screen display function is started for the second or
subsequent time, the CNC selection screen does not appear. Instead, it
is connected to the host CNC selected previously. To connect to
another CNC, start "¥Storage Card¥FANUC¥CNCScrn¥SetHost.exe"
and select the desired CNC.
If no network setting is completed for Windows CE, the CNC screen
display function displays the network setting screen.
Be sure to specify IP Address and Subnet Mask. Default Gateway is
optional. If you do not want to use the option, enter: "0.0.0.0"
Choosing the "OK" button causes the setting to be saved.
Once you change the network setting, switch the power off and on
again to restart the system.
