Master-Control Robot
In the main interface of the software, click Master-Control Robot in the toolbar to connect the robot.
Mech-Viz and the robot constitute a master/slave control or communication model after you load the monitoring program to the robot. Mech-Viz functions as the master device to send commands, while the robot functions as the slave device, performing tasks according to the commands received from the master device.
Please follow the steps below to master-control the robot:
-
Ensure that the robot model you select in the current project is the same as the real robot model. You can check the robot model in the project resource tree.
-
Refer to Master-Control Communication to load the Master-Control program to the robot and configure the communication settings. (Skip this step if you have finished the configuration.)
-
Execute the Master-Control program at the robot side.
-
Click Master-control Robot in the toolbar.
-
Enter the robot IP address.
-
Click Connect the robot.
-
Check whether the Master-Control of the robot is successful.
If the current status shows connected, the robot is connected successfully. Then click Sync Robot, and the pose of the simulated robot will be synchronized with that of the real robot.
If you cannot connect to the robot successfully, please follow these guidelines to troubleshoot:
-
Ensure that the robot model you select in the current project is the same as the real robot model.
-
Ensure that the entered robot IP address is correct.
-
Ensure that the Master-Control program is loaded successfully at the robot side.
