Why does my sensorEDGE/sensorEDGE FIELD device, operating in the 192.168.0.x IP subnet, not display any IO-Link web pages?

A

sensorEDGE/sensorEDGE FIELD devices automatically establish an internal network with the IP subnet 192.168.0.x/32.

Connecting such a device to an external network that shares the same IP subnet can result in a routing issue within the device, leading to a failure in internal TCP/IP communication with the IO-Link processor at IP address 192.168.0.2.

To ensure the proper routing of TCP/IP telegrams to the IO-Link processor, configure a route by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Networking" menu.
  2. Locate the entry "cifx0" in the "Interfaces" list and click on it."
  3. Click the "IPv4 address" entry as next
  4. Finally switch off the "Automatic" selector under "Routes" and add a new routing entry with the plus button as shown below.
