Hi folks,
Has any of you managed to connect to a D-Series controller using KIDE through the Ethernet port?
Until now, I've been able to connect using either KRTerm or Notepad++ for AS and a crossover Ethernet cable. However, KIDE seems to be unable to even establish a connection to the controller. I always get an error connecting to the robot message with no further explanations.
The robot's IP is the one by default, i.e. 192.168.0.2 (port 23). That's the very same setup I use with Notepad++ for AS or KRTerm. Also, I made sure the computer's IP is in the same range. I've also tried disabling the firewall, updating KIDE or connecting from a different computer, with same results.
I can connect with the same computers and KIDE to three E-series controllers in another facility. Apart from the controller version or IP range, the only known difference is that I'm connecting to those controllers through an Ethernet switch rather than directly by means of a crossover cable.
I Didn't try to connect via RS232C because I don't have a serial to USB adapter, although I've done so with a C-series controller and KIDE in the past.
