About RexCode

The optional panel in general supports different operating modes. We use USB engineering mode to establish a connection to ctrlX DRIVE. To connect with ctrlX DRIVE Engineering connect an USB-C cable to your operating panel (mounted at drive) and PC. A new ethernet adapter (ctrlX Drive or similar) will appear under your network connections. You do not need to change IP address settings of mentioned Ethernet adapter because panel is coming with DHCP server. But if needed you can define a fix IP address in network 192.168.222.y (y needs to be different from last number of drive engineering IP) Open ctrlX DRIVE Engineering select ctrlX DRIVE panel Ethernet adapter (here ctrlX DRIVE 192.168.222.x) and browse for drive The search will find your connected drive according to your IP settings on ctrlX DRIVE side:   Related Links Documentation ctrlX Drive Forum ctrlX Drive ...

General For commissioning of ctrlX DRIVE our tool ctrlX DRIVE Engineering (formerly known as Indraworks Ds) is available. To use this tool a connection via Ethernet between engineering PC and ctrlX DRIVE is necessary. The number of available Ethernet ports and opportunities depends on selected control section (hardware options), drive settings (i. e. master communication protocol) and used ethernet/EtherCAT components. Connectivity options 1.  USB ethernet interface of operating panel (optional but always possible) For closer description see: How-to establish connection to ctrlX DRIVE (operating panel) 2.  Multi ethernet interface XF21/XF22 (when master communication ET configured and EtherCAT not active) 3.  Engineering port of 3 rd party control or external ctrlX CORE (when master communication option ET configured and EtherCAT active) For closer description see: How-to establish connection to ctrlX DRIVE (via ctrlX CORE) How-to establish connection to ctrlX DRIVE (via TwinCAT) 4.  Engineering port of integrated ctrlX CORE (when master communication option X3 is configured)  For closer description see: How-to establish connection to ctrlX DRIVE (via EtherCAT master) 5.  EtherCAT switch port terminal Note: For options 3 - 5 a configured and running EtherCAT master is required.
