    Hi everyone,

    I'm struggling with connect through ethernet cable (service port) to 2 ABB Robots using ICR5 Compact controller for each.

    Both controllers have the same IP (192.168.125.1) and I'm not able to change the IP of the robots to connect simultaneously using a network switch.

    I've been reading something regarding an X-Start and changing the IP, but I can't modify the IP of the service port...

    How to do this the proper way?

    Thanks in advance!

    You need the option PC interface to do that. And use X6 or X5

    This is correct if you are wanting a permanent connection using robotstudio and setting up jobs or editing programs and such. If, however, you are wanting only a temporary connection for commissioning or programming, you can only connect to one at a time via the service port.

    Ok, so, so far I have this:

    IRC5 Compact controller with PC-Interface (616-1)

    PC connected through X6

    I X-started the robot and place an IP 192.168.0.254, submask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 0.0.0.0

    I try to connect through the ip and the port: 192.168.0.254:2000 with no luck...

    Not even ping works for this... is there anything else that I have to do?

    Did you make sure that your PC IP and subnet are compatible? I think that just the service port is DHCP.

    I put my computer ethernet connection in the IP 192.168.0.253, and now the ping to the robot's ip works, but still not able to connect...

    Connect how? With robotstudio? If so, do you have a license for RS?

    Sorry, I'm working with RoboDK and it works nice if I connect through service port with the default IP 192.168.125.1 and port 2000...

    Is that the default robot IP, or the default RoboDK IP?

    Try an X-Start and set the default gateway to 192.168.0.254. Set the control's IP to 192.168.0.XXX - NOT 254. Set a static IP - use advanced settings if needed - for the PC to 192.168.0.YYY, same subnet mask & default gateway.

    ABB Control

    IP

    192.168.0.123

    Subnet Mask

    Default Gateway

    192.168.0.234

    Subnet Mask

    Thanks guys! I fixed it, the thing with RoboDK is that in the .mod file (RoboDK driver file) there's also an IP that it must be the same as the robot's IP. I was thinking about this since I was able to make ping to the IPs and it worked).

    So now I'm able to connect through the X6 port.

    Thanks again!

    Is that the default robot IP, or the default RoboDK IP?

    That's the default robot IP for the service port (X2)
