Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a two ABB IRB2600_20_165_C robots (both on Robotware 6.12.02 version) cell, using Robotstudio 2021.02 (64 bits). On this process i have four Cognex cameras (three on one of the robot controller and the fourth on the second one).
Both robots and all cameras are "second-hand" devices that our client gave us for this particular project, they were all already used on other cells or for test purposes so i had to reset everything at a factory state before making anything on them.
After everything was physically connected to the robot controller, i first tried to find them via the Add Sensor option, in the Vision Integration group, to give it a name and an IP-adress but Robotstudio never found any. I gave a try to do the same in in-sight explorer, who did recognize every cameras on the network.
I took one of the cam, changed her name and IP-Adress that way and came back in Robotstudio to see if something changed, now the camera is on the vision "list" of the corresponding controller with an IP adress but the name is still unrecognized (see attached image 01_VUE_RS_sans_Camera_ds_SIO).
At this moment i still cannot connect with the camera system so i tried something...
From a backup of a robot with a similar camera, i tried to create this one manually in the SIO files:
#
COM_APP:
-Name "R02_CAM1_BRCK" -Type "CAMERA" -Trp "TCPIP1"\
-MAC "00:d0:24:4e:07:a4"
I loaded the parameters on the controller without any error, after the controller restart, the camera that was present on the controller finally had her name.
Problem is, i cannot make anything with it but look at the properties, i'm still unable to connect to the camera, despite it being declared on the controller (see attached image 06_VUE_ENSEMBLE_Connexion_NoK where i did a montage of the situation i'm currently in).
Maybe i didn't used a "classic" method (also this is my very first project involving vision so il don't really know anything about the "classic" method on this) but since i cannot make any connection to the camera trough the software i'm supposed to use to set it up properly, i tried to do it another way...
I tried numerous time to reset all the parameters on the camera (through in-sight explorer) and try to gain any connection with it on Robotstudio... that also failed.
Any ideas of what the problem can be? Was the use of in-sight explorer to make that first -partial- configuration an error on my part ?(i heard there can be some incompatibilities between in-sight explorer and the vision integration of Robotstudio)
In advance, thank you for your help,
Olivier.
