Online configuration via the Device Manager of the EK9160

A "Device Manager" web configuration page for the EK9160 is available for configuration.

The Device Manager can be accessed by entering "https://IP-address/config" in the URL line of a browser. (e.g.: https://192.168.1.2/config). We recommend using the latest version of Chrome™ or Firefox to open the Device Manager.

Example of entry with IP address:

If DHCP is used, enter the name of the EK9160 instead of the IP address. The default name of the bus coupler starts with the string "EK-", followed by the last 3 bytes of its MAC address (MAC-ID). The MAC address can be found on the sticker on the left of the EtherCAT Coupler.

Example: The MAC address is 00-01-05-02-03-04.
The resulting default name is "EK-020304".

The EK9160 uses a self-signed certificate. Since the browser does not recognize this certificate, you are expected to trust this certificate and continue. This is only necessary the first time you open the Device Manager with your browser. You will then be asked to enter your user name and password.

The default login name is “Administrator” and the default password is “1” (without quotation marks). For security reasons, the Device Manager first opens the security configuration page so that you can set up a new user name and password:
