Connecting to IndraDrive M with IndraWorks Ds

[kanapello]

Hello! Please help.
There is a need to connect to the IndraDrive M drive (CDB02.1B-ET-EC-EC-EM-S4-S4-NN-NN-FW) via Ethernet, for this we use IndraWorks 15V20.0, the Ethernet cable is inserted into the HUB of the machine (diagram in the attachment), which is connected to the IndraControl L45. When trying to search for the device by IP (according to the machine diagram, the Bosh IP address is 192.168.1.8), we encounter an error: No parameter communication (parameter SIS and S/IP cannot be established).
Please share information on troubleshooting this problem and connecting to the equipment.

Can you connect with your PC via network cable to the last drive (or other slave) where maybe the port is free (seems to be a sercos bus system, and if no ring topolgy you can connect to the last slave where a port is free) and then search in IndraWorks Ds again...

Or you search via "Control MLC L45"...

I'd just like to expand on Stefan's reply a bit.

If I'm understanding correctly, you're using IndraWorks Ds and want to connect to a drive. You've tried plugging your Ethernet cable from your PC/laptop into the network hub of the machine, which is connected to the Engineering Port (X7E5) on your MLC. You've tried connecting to the drive through the MLC, which is at IP address 192.168.1.8 (on the Engineering Port, X7E5).

I believe the issue is that using IndraWorks Ds, you can only connect directly to drives; you can't connect to an MLC or pass a connection through it to the drives. To connect to the drive, you have two options. 1) You need to connect to the Sercos bus/network as Stefan has suggested. 2) If you have IndraWorks Engineering, you can connect to the MLC through the Engineering Port, which will also allow you to interact with the drives if you have the Sercos configuration in your project file.
