When using the drives with sercos is it still possible to have two Ip addresses on port XF22/21. One would be for the fieldbus and one for engineering. It appears the option only exists through USB-C which makes sense for EtherCat but with sercos this would be uneccesary.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can still access all the drives in the sercos ring if connecting your PC over EtherNet IP to one of the ports XF21 or XF22 at one of the drives in the ring.
Mind that then you loose the sercos ring characteristics (then it is only working in line characteristics).

But can 2 addresses be assigned to the same port? I would like to assign one address in the 192.168.1.xxx subnet while sercos would like to define in the 172.31.254.xxx

Sorry, no different settings of the IP addresses is possible.
