2.8.1 Required preventive measure
Make sure that the product is correctly attached to the ground connection.
2.9 Network security and access protection
A bus system makes it possible to adapt electronic drive technology components to
the particulars of the machinery within wide limits. There is a risk that a change of pa-
rameters that cannot be detected externally may result in unexpected but not uncon-
trolled system behavior and may have a negative impact on operational safety, system
availability, or data security.
Ensure that unauthorized access is prevented, especially with respect to Ethernet-
based networked systems and engineering interfaces.
Use IT‑specific safety standards to increase access protection to the ports. For a port
overview, refer to the respective technical data of the device in use.

Introduction
Area of application
Manual – MOVI-C® CONTROLLER progressive UHX65A-M 13
3 Introduction
3.1 Area of application
The integration of a PROFINET IO controller or EtherNet/IP™ scanners into the con-
trol technology of SEW‑EURODRIVE enables even more flexible machine concepts.
For example, systems and machines can work with a high-performance EtherCAT®/
FSoE cable for time-critical tasks such as motion control and safety ("hard real-time
communication") while an additional independent PROFINET or EtherNet/IP™ net-
work and other periphery are being used for the process (e.g. reading process data).
This enables the physical decoupling of time-critical and process-relevant processes
as well as the optimization and increase of the system robustness of the time-critical
processes.
This results in a mixed topology consisting of EtherCAT® as the system bus for the
high-performance motion control of drives and PROFINET or EtherNet/IP™ for the
reading of data from sensors or other peripherals and the writing of data (and thereby
control) of simple actuators and other peripherals.
In addition, many components are available as a PROFINET device slave or EtherNet/
IP™ slave and not as an EtherCAT® slave such as industrial printers, for example. A
broad spectrum of network-based industrial periphery (e.g. switches, optical data
transmission devices), and sensor technology can thereby be integrated.

TCP/IP addressing and subnets
Manual – MOVI-C® CONTROLLER progressive UHX65A-M

4 Industrial Ethernet networks – Basics
4.1 TCP/IP addressing and subnets
The address of the TCP/IP protocol is set using the following parameters:
• MAC address
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Standard gateway
The addressing mechanisms and subdivision of the TCP/IP networks into subnets are
explained in this chapter to help you set the parameters correctly.
4.2 MAC address
The MAC (Media Access Controller) address is the basis for all address settings. The
MAC address is a globally unique 6‑byte value (48 bits) assigned to the Ethernet
device. The MAC address of Ethernet devices from SEW‑EURODRIVE is 00-0F-69-
xx-xx-xx.
4.3 IP address
The IP address is a 32-bit value that uniquely identifies a node in the network. An IP
address is represented by 4 decimal numbers separated by decimal points.
Each decimal number stands for 1 byte (8 bits) of the address and can also be repre-
sented using binary code:
Exemplary IP address: 192.168.10.4
Byte Decimal Binary
1 192 11000000
2 168 10101000
3 10 00001010
4 4 00000100
The IP address comprises a network address and a node address.
The part of the IP address that denotes the network and the part that identifies the
node is determined by the network class and the subnet mask.

Industrial Ethernet networks – Basics
Network class
Manual – MOVI-C® CONTROLLER progressive UHX65A-M 17
4.4 Network class
The first byte of the IP address determines the network class and as such represents
the division into network address and node address:
Range of val-
ues
(byte1 of the
IPaddress)
Network

Example: Complete

Meaning
0–127 A 10.1.22.3 10 = Network address
1.22.3 = Node address
128–191 B 172.16.52.4 172.16 = Network address
52.4 = Node address
192–223 C 192.168.10.4 192.168.10 = Network address
4 = Node address
Node addresses that consist only of zeros or ones are not permitted. The smallest ad-
dress (all bits are zero) describes the network itself and the largest address (all bits
are 1) is reserved for the broadcast.
This rough division is not sufficient for a number of networks. The networks also use
an explicit, adjustable subnet mask.
4.5 Subnet mask
A subnet mask is used to divide the network classes into even finer sections. Like the
IP address, the subnet mask is represented by 4 decimal numbers separated by
decimal points.
Each decimal number stands for 1byte (8bits) of the subnet mask and can also be
represented using binary code:
Example of a subnet mask: 255.255.255.128
Byte Decimal Binary
1 255 11111111
2 255 11111111
3 255 11111111
4 128 10000000
The binary representation of the IP address and the subnet mask shows that in the
subnet mask, all bits of the network address are set to1 and only the bits of the node
addresses have the value0:
IP address: 192.168.10.129 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.128

Standard gateway
Manual – MOVI-C® CONTROLLER progressive UHX65A-M
18
The class C network with the network address 192.168.10 is further subdivided into
the following 2networks by the subnet mask255.255.255.128:
Network address Node addresses
192.168.10.0 192.168.10.1–192.168.10.126
192.168.10.128 192.168.10.129–192.168.10.254
The network nodes use a logical AND operation for the IP address and the subnet
mask to determine whether there is a communication partner in the same network or
in a different network. If the communication partner is in a different network, the stan-
dard gateway is addressed for passing on the data.
4.6 Standard gateway
The standard gateway is also addressed via a 32-bit address. The 32-bit address is
represented by 4 decimal numbers separated by decimal points.
Exemplary standard gateway: 192.168.10.1
The standard gateway establishes a connection to other networks. A network node
that wants to address another node uses a logical AND operation of the IP address
and subnet mask to determine whether the node is in the same network. If this is not
the case, the network node addresses the standard gateway (router), which must be
part of the actual network. The standard gateway then takes on the job of transmitting
the data packages.
4.7 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Instead of setting the 3 parameters IP address, subnet mask and standard gateway
manually, they can be assigned automatically by a DHCP server in the Ethernet net-
work.
The IP address is assigned based on a table in the DHCP server. The table contains
an assignment of MAC addresses to IP addresses.

5 PROFINET networks – Recommendations
PROFINET (Process Field Network) is the communication standard for the automa-
tion of PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI).
The modular range of functions makes PROFINET a flexible solution for all applica-
tions and markets. The following applications can be implemented using PROFINET:
• Applications for production and process automation
INFORMATION
When planning and starting up a PROFINET network, observe the information and
regulations of the PROFIBUS user organization (PNO) as well as of
PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI).
For detailed technical information about PROFINET, white papers, planning and in-
stallation notes and guidelines, refer to the homepage of
PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI) (www.profibus.com)
This chapter describes the most important conditions to be observed for planning and
operating a PROFINET network. The list is not complete.
5.1 Network components
Observe the following when selecting the network components of a PROFINET net-
work:
• Use only industry-standard and PROFINET compliant network components.
• Make sure that the network components support the desired PROFINET confor-
mance class, e.g. CC-B or CC-C.
• Use only managed switches.
• The managed switch must support VLAN tagging according to IEEE802.1Q.

device. A PROFINET packet size of 60bytes and a PROFINET data rate of 100Mbit/s
is assumed

In order to leave sufficient reserves for extensions and especially for NRT (non-real-
time) communication, observe the following limit values for network load of cyclic real-
time communication when planning the PROFINET network:
