Others

For a robot other than the robots listed above, please follow the procedure below to complete its Standard Interface communication for integration:

1. Write a Standard Interface communication program by referring to the Standard Interface Development Manual.

2. Load the Standard Interface communication program to the robot.

3. Complete the vision-side communication configuration and start Interface Service by referring to the Quick Guide for Robot and Communication Configuration.

4. Write a simple example program to test whether the communication can be established successfully. (If the communication is established successfully, a log message will be displayed under the console tab of the log panel in Mech-Vision.)
