This guide shows you how to set up Master-Control communication with a Hyundai robot.

Check Controller and Software Version

  • Robot controller version: Hi5a-S (Hi5a-T10 is not supported).

  • Mech-Mind Software Suite: 1.6.0 or above.

Set up the Network Connection

Connect the Hardware

Plug the Ethernet cable of the IPC into the CNETN3 port inside the controller or the Ethernet port on the outside, as shown below.

hardware connection
There are three port inside the controller, namely CNETN1, CNETN2, and CNETN3, which correspond to the EN0 address, TP address and EN2 User Ethernet address on the teach pendant respectively. Therefore, the Ethernet cable should be connected to the CNETN3 port.

Set the IP Address

  1. On the teach pendant, go to System  Control parameter  Network  Environment setting.

  2. Select EN2(Public), and set the right IP Address. Please also make sure that the Sebnet Mask is set to 255.255.255.0.

    set ip

    • The robot IP should be in the same subnet as the IPC.

    • The subnet mask of the IPC is the same as that of the robot, which is 255.255.255.0.

    • Restart the robot after modifying the IP address.

Load the Program Files to the Robot

  1. Connect the USB flash drive to the teach pendant.

    To control a HYUNDAI robot, our master-control program 0101.JOB and* 0102.JOB* need to be initialized by changing the Program File Format Version information on the first line.
    If you already have other available program on the robot, please directly copy and paste the program into the flash drive and skip to step 5.

  2. Select Command input.

    load file 1

  3. Choose either of the command to input, as shown below.

    load file 2

  5. Select the newly created program file (or a previous program file), and select Copy. Then switch to the USB folder and select Paste.

  6. Connect the flash drive to the IPC. Open the program, and then copy the first line.

  7. Open the two master-control program files 0101.JOB and 0102.JOB(The files are stored in xxx{company} Software Suite-x.x.x`Mech-Center\Robot_Server\Robot_FullControl\hyundai\Hi5a-S`.) and paste the copied code to replace the first line in the program, and then save the changes.

    change file

  8. Copy and paste the master-control program files 0101.JOB and 0102.JOB into the flash drive. Connect the flash drive to the teach pendant. Go to System  File manager  USB, select 0101.JOB and 0102.JOB, and then select Copy. Then switch to T/P, select Paste to load the files to the robot.
