    Is there a way to connect a real PLC to virtual robot in RobotGuide.

    Or maybe the question can be formulate like this : how to setup the IP address of a virtual robot the way that I can ping it from the host PC. Or better, ping it for a PC on the same network.

    Thanks

    The virtual robot has a default IP of 127.0.0.1 and works with ping, FTP, etc

    127.0.0.1 is not a loop back address?... so that mean we are pinging the local host PC... not the vitual robot it self.

    Maybe if you can answer the next question that will help me to understand:
    What if you have 2 virtual robot in the same workcell. What is the IP adresse of each robot?

    In my experience HawkME is partially correct: RoboGuide will open all relevant ports on 0.0.0.0 for the first robot. So they will also be reachable on 127.0.0.1 .

    So to answer your question: you can just use the IP of the machine that runs RoboGuide.

    Then it will use 127.0.0.2. Inter-virtual-robot communication is done exclusively using the loopback addresses.
