Chapter 4. Configuration36 PACSystems* RX7i & RX3i TCP/IP Ethernet Communications User Manual GFK-2224QConfiguring an RX3i Embedded Ethernet Interface1. In the Project tab of the Navigator, expand thePACSystems Target, the hardware configuration, andthe main rack (Rack 0).2. Expand the CPU slot (Slot 2). The Embedded EthernetInterface is displayed as “Ethernet”.3. Right click the daughterboard slot and chooseConfigure. The Parameter Editor window displays theEthernet Interface parameters.4. To add the Ethernet Global Data component, right-click the Target. Select Add Component and thenEthernet Global Data.5. Select the desired tab, and then click in theappropriate Values field.Figure 14: Expand RX3i CPU Node toConfigure Embedded Ethernet InterfaceEthernet Parameters (Settings Tab)Figure 15: Ethernet Settings Tab in Proficy Machine EditionConfiguration Mode: This is fixed as TCP/IP.Adapter Name: This is automatically generated based upon the rack/slot location of the Ethernet interface.IP Addresses: These values should be assigned by the person in charge of your network (the networkadministrator). TCP/IP network administrators are familiar with these parameters. It is important that theseparameters are correct, otherwise the Ethernet Interface may be unable to communicate on the networkand/or network operation may be corrupted. It is especially important that each node on the network isassigned a unique IP address.
