Default IP Address

volsmo
The TCP/IP settings on our CMM computer have been lost. Can anyone tell me the proper IP settings for a Brown Sharpe Global Performance CMM.
We just have this connected to the PC, so there would have been no reason to change the default IP. Does anyone know what the default ip is, or how I can find the IP on the machine?
Thank You.

  • This may or may not be the correct settings for your machine but here they are anyways. these settings are for my 9-15-9 BNS Chameleon with a Sharpe32z (Leitz protocol) controller...

    Go to Control Panel
    Network Connections
    LAN
    Properties
    Then…
    Highlight TCP/IP
    Then…
    Properties
    Choose radio button tha says “use following IP ADDRESS”
    Type in at IP… 80.128.0.1
    Type in at subnet…255.0.0.0
    Under LAN…
    Properties
    General Tab
    Configure
    Advanced Tab
    Speed & duplex = 10mb FULL


    Within PC-DMIS…

    Machine Interface Setup
    Use TCp/IP link to drive Machine
    TCP/IP Address= 80.128.0.2
    TCP/IP Port Number= 2001


    Jim is right on the ball, and I especially like his pitcures and aspriations. Let me add a little more to this for background information.

    The same thing happens to me on occasion. The Leitz system can work with either serial (RS-232) or ethernet (TCP/IP) communications. Both will work for most measureing, but when it comes to scanning and passing large amounts of data, you'll see that TCP/IP is much faster. If you're not scanning, then it probably won't make much difference, unless you are running short of serial ports and would just rather use TCP/IP.

    The controller has a fixed IP address, typically something like 80.128.0.1 and the computer might be 80.128.0.2 (or vice versa). They are typically 1 unit apart. To find out what the PC is, you can go to a DOS prompt and enter the command

    IPCONFIG /ALL

    which will display a fair amount of information, but it will include the ethernet adress of the PC. From the same DOS prompt, enter the command to try to test the connection to the controller, such as

    PING 80.128.0.1

    or

    PING 80.128.0.2

    It should return a list of about 5 quick test calls, and you'll know immediately by looking at them if they worked or not. If PING works, then it is not a cable issue. If PING fails, then PC-DMIS will not work.

    To find out what PC-DMIS thinks the controller is set to, start it up and to the Edit / Preferences / Machine Interface and look in the tab where you would enable TCP/IP communciations, and you'll see the address it wants to find the controller at.
