LAN2 = EtherNet/IP

On the YRC1000 controller there are 2 RJ45 / ethernet ports that a customer can utilize.  However, only the port labeled LAN2 can be used for EtherNet/IP communication.  Of course the EtherNet/IP option must be enabled for this to be true.  (EtherNet/IP = EtherNet Industrial Protocol.)

What is the purpose of LAN3?

Typically the LAN3 port is utilize for functions like:

• MotoCom
• WeldCom
• Job Backup
• FTP
• Motoman Cockpit
• other EtherNet TCP/IP interfaces --- NOT Industrial Communication

LAN1 is used for the Programming Pendant

NOTE - the connectors are also be identified as follows within the controller itself:

• CN105 = LAN1
• CN106 = LAN2
• CN107 = LAN3

Final "Gotcha"

The subnets for LAN2 and LAN3 must be different.
