ABB IRC5 Product Manual page 83

The service port is configured with a fixed IP-address, which is the same for all
controllers and cannot be changed, and has a DHCP server that automatically
assigns an IP-address to the connected PC.
WAN port
The WAN port is a public network interface to the controller, typically connected
to the factory network with a public IP address provided by the network
administrator.
The WAN port can be configured with fixed IP-address, or DCHP, from the Boot
application on the FlexPendant. By default the IP-address is blank.
Some network services, like FTP and RobotStudio, are enabled by default. Other
services are enabled by the respective RobotWare application.
LAN ports
The LAN 1 port is dedicated for connecting the FlexPendant.
The LAN 2 and LAN 3 ports are intended for connecting network based process
equipment to the controller. For example field buses, cameras, and welding
equipment.

for other functions on the IRC5 controller:
• 192.168.125.0 - 255
• 192.168.126.0 - 255

then a private address of class B must be used to avoid any overlapping. Please
contact your local network administrator regarding network overlapping.
