Add new AKDn on existing AKDC | 04 Aug 2023 | |

Add new AKDn on existing AKDC

Hi everyone,

 

I want to add a new AKDn in existing AKDC.

When I connect with workbench to the AKDC, at the begining, when he's scanning the topology he don't find the new AKDn, after that, I can see it on topology tab on the left panel of workbench, but I have a red dot that the communication is not etablish.

 

I found in this community two command : STRING1.DRIVESIPADDRESS
STRINGS.IPMODERESET, but I can't use it in my workbench.

 

Do you have any solution ?

 

Thank's a lot.

With the following you can check or reset the IP addresses / modes for the individual strings:

STRING1.DRIVESIPADDRESS
STRINGS.IPMODERESET


STRINGx.DRIVESIPADDRESS:
Description
STRINGx.DRIVESIPADDRESS displays the IP addresses of all devices connected on string x. When used without an index number it will return a list containing the IP addresses of all devices on the string.
When used with an index number it will display the IP address of a specific device instead, e.g. STRING1.DRIVESIPADDRESS 3 //displays the IP address of the 3rd device on the first string.

STRINGS.IPMODERESET:
Description
If the AKD-N’s connected to the AKD-C are set to an invalid static ip address, the command STRINGS.IPMODERESET on the AKD-C can be used to reset the IP mode of all AKD-Ns. After execution of this command, the AKD-N retrieve a new IP address either through DHCP or Auto IP. This command will only effect AKD-N’s with FW version greater or equal to M_01-14-00-003.


STRING1.DRIVESEOEIPADDRESS to STRING2.DRIVESEOEIPADDRESS:
Description
STRINGx.DRIVESEOEIPADDRESS displays the IP address of the Ethernet over EtherCAT interface of all devices connected on string x.
When used without a parameter, it will return a list containing the IP address of all devices on the string. When used with a parameter, it will display the IP address of a specific device instead, e.g. “STRING1.DRIVESEOEIPADDRESS 3” will display the IP address of the third device on the first string.
