Configure TCP/IP Communication

This section introduces how to configure the TCP/IP communication. Before configuration, please confirm that you have already selected the robot and entered the Communication Option interface.

1. On the Communication Option interface, set the Set Interface Type parameter to Standard Interface , set the Protocol parameter to TCP Server, and set the data transmission format according to the following table.

   Robot Brand	Data Transmission Format
   ABB	HEX-Little endian
   FANUC	HEX-Big endian
   KUKA	HEX-Little endian
   Yaskawa	ASCII
   Kawasaki	ASCII
   UR	ASCII
   TM	ASCII
   ELITE	ASCII
   JAKA	ASCII
   ROKAE	ASCII
   NACHI	ASCII
   Others	You need to write the robot-side communication program. You can determine the data transmission format according to the support for HEX and ASCII.

2. For the Host IP address parameter, enter the port number.

   Note

   The port number should be set to 50000 or larger.

3. (Optional) Select Auto enable interface service when opening solution. When the solution is opened, you do not need to start the interface service manually.

4. Click the Apply button.

5. Start the interface service .

Next, you need to complete the following operations according to the selected robot.

• If a listed robot is selected, complete the subsequent operations by referring to the corresponding documents in the following table.

  Robot Brand	Reference Document
  ABB	ABB Standard Interface Configuration
  FANUC	FANUC Standard Interface Configuration
  FANUC CRX	CRX Plugin Installation and Configuration
  Kawasaki	Kawasaki Standard Interface Configuration
  KUKA	KUKA Standard Interface Configuration
  YASKAWA	YASKAWA Standard Interface Configuration
  UR	URCap Plugin Installation and Configuration
  TM	TM Standard Interface Configuration
  ELITE	ELITE Standard Interface Configuration
  JAKA	JAKA Standard Interface Configuration

• If a listed robot other than the preceding robot brands is selected, you need to write the robot-side communication program by referring to Standard Interface Development Manual. For calibration, you can perform automatic calibration by referring to Master-control Communication.

• If a custom robot is selected. you need to write the robot-side communication program by referring to Standard Interface Development Manual. For calibration, you can perform manual calibration.
