Note: Many network components require a separate product package and license. See wRTOS Platform Components for more information.

Note: Some settings require Windows Administrator privileges.

Icon Name Description

Interfaces

Configure network interface-specific settings.

Network Link Layer (NL2)

Configure Network Link Layer (NL2) settings. The NL2 software component provides real-time applications with abstract APIs to access network services at the Layer 2 of the OSI model, independent of the underlying hardware.

Note: The NL2 component is an optional feature in the wRTOS Runtime product package. All upper-level networking features require the NL2.

Network Relay

Configure Network Relay settings.

TCP/IP

Configure TCP/IP settings.

This component requires a license. TCP/IP is included in the wRTOS Basic Networking feature optionally installed with the wRTOS Runtime. However, to enable this feature, you must have a MaxRT wRTOS Basic Networking license (WNET64). Contact IntervalZero Sales to purchase licenses.

E-CAT

Configure E-CAT settings. E-CAT exposes Windows and real-time interfaces that offer support for CANopen over EtherCAT and simplifies configuration of EtherCAT networks with its unique plug-and-play approach.

This component requires a license. E-CAT is included in the wRTOS Fieldbus feature optionally installed with the wRTOS Runtime. However, to enable this feature, you must have a MaxRT wRTOS Fieldbus license (WFB64). Contact IntervalZero Sales to purchase licenses.
