Others
If you use a robot that is not listed above, follow the procedure below to complete the Standard Interface communication setup.
-
Write Standard Interface communication programs by referring to the section Standard Interface Development Manual.
-
Load the Standard Interface communication programs to the robot.
-
Complete the vision-side communication configuration and start the interface service by referring to the section Quick Guide for Robot and Communication Configuration.
-
Write simple example programs to test whether the communication is established. If the communication is established, a log will be displayed under the console tab of the log panel in Mech-Vision.
