Establish connection to PC

The ROD4… plus is configured via a PC using the RODplussoft program, before it is integrated into the process control.

In order to be able to establish a TCP communication with the PC, the IP address of your PC and the IP address of the ROD4… plus
must lie in the same address range. The ROD4… plus has no built-in DHCP client, so you need to set the address manually. The easiest
way to do this is via the PC.

The ROD4… plus is set ex works as follows:

IP address: 192.168.060.003

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Notice!

If you are using a desktop firewall, please ensure that the control can communicate with the ROD4… plus via the Ethernet
interface on ports 9008 and using TCP. Furthermore, the firewall must allow ICMP echo messages to pass through for
the connection test (ping).

If the PC is usually connected to a network using DHCP address allocation, the easiest way to access the ROD4… plus is by applying
an alternative configuration in the TCP/IP settings of the PC and connecting the ROD4… plus directly to the PC.

According to the default setting of 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, the IP address of the PC must then lie in the range 192.168.060.0
to 192.168.060.255 (e.g., 192.168.060.110, but not 192.168.060.003!), so that ROD4… plus and PC can communicate with each other.
If ROD4… plus and the PC have the same IP address, they cannot communicate with each other.

Configuring the IP address for a PC

 Log in to your PC as an administrator.
 Using Start->System control go to the Network connections

(Windows XP) menu or to the Network center and release center
(Windows 7) menu.

 There, select

ing properties page.

 Select the Internet protocol (TCP/IP) (by scrolling down, if necessary) and

click on Properties.

 In the Internet protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window select the

Alternate configuration tab.

 Set the IP address of the PC in the address range of the ROD4… plus.

Attention: not the same as for the ROD4… plus!

 Set the Subnet mask of the PC to the same value as the one for the

ROD4… plus .

 Close the configuration dialog by confirming all windows using OK.
 Connect the Y2 interface of the ROD4… plus directly to the LAN port of your PC.

Use a KB ET-…-SA-RJ45 cable for the connection.

Laser safety notices – laser class 1

ATTENTION, LASER RADIATION – LASER CLASS 1

The device fulfills the EN 60825-1:2007 safety regulations for a product in laser class 1 as well as the U.S. 21 CFR 1040.10 regulations
with deviations corresponding to "Laser Notice No. 50" from June 24th, 2007.

 Adhere to the applicable legal and local regulations regarding protection from laser beams.
 The device must not be tampered with and must not be changed in any way.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device.
Repairs must only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG.

Commissioning

 Switch on the supply voltage of the ROD4… plus.
 Start the software RODplussoft.

The PC first tries to establish a network connection via the automatic configuration using Ethernet. This takes a few seconds, after which
the alternate configuration, which you just set, is activated. The PC can then communicate with the ROD4… plus via Ethernet.

Further information about configuring the ROD4… plus using RODplussoft software can be found in the Technical Description and Soft­ware and Protocol Description.

For the commissioning and integration of the laser scanner in the process control the following steps are necessary:

1.Configure the ROD4… plus - see chapter 6 of the Technical Description.

2.Configure, if necessary, detection fields with the RODsoft configuration software (Configuration –> Start RODsoft…

menu item) (for ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus only!). See section Configuring detection fields.

3.Program process control.

or

4.Connect the switching inputs and outputs accordingly - see chapter 5 of the Technical Description.

5.Adapt the IP configuration of the ROD4… plus such that it can communicate with the process control. This occurs in

RODplussoft in the Communication tab. Here you can change the network address and the corresponding net mask, via

which the ROD4… plus communicates with the process control.

6.Save the changed settings in the ROD4… plus using the Configuration -> Transmit to ROD4plus menu item.

7.Connect ROD4… plus to process control via the Ethernet interface Y2.

Configure the detection fields (for ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus only)

Commissioning procedure:

 Connect the PC via the KB-ROD4plus… cable at the connection Y3 - Service to the ROD4(-08) plus.
 From RODplussoft start the RODsoft configuration software via the Start RODsoft… menu item.
 Enter the password "ROD4LE" in the level "Authorized User".

The detection field can be displayed under "Display measurement contour". Under "ROD4 configuration" the response times, the detec­tion field switches and other parameters are defined. To configure the detection fields, select the "Define detection areas" field. Error
codes and other information are contained in the ROD4 system data.

A detailed description can be found in the user manual for the RODsoft configuration software.
