Ok kwakisaki, thank you. At least I know now what to request.
Hello,
First of all, thank you for your time.
The controller model is E02G-A001.
As far as I know, the robot was ordered in standard configuration. However, I'm not sure if the fieldbus option was specifically mentioned in the quotation.
Anyhow, the fieldbus configuration (Aux. 0608) is absent. System switch in AllData.as is off.
Is there a way to enable it?
Thank you
Hello kwakisaki,
Robot: ZX130L
E-controller
AS Group: ASE_010300X58
Please ignore the P.S. section. Indeed, I missed the search icon in front of my eyes.
Hello robotreto,
I'm still new here, so I'm not really sure how to PM you.
I'm trying to achieve a dialog between Kawasaki robot and external device using TCP/IP. Currently I check several possibilities. Software Ethernet/IP functionality seems to be locked in actual robot so far. However, I had some success with TCP/IP communication. Therefore, I'm really interested in your offer. Can you please share your code?
Thank you
Alex
Greetings to all forum members.
I'm new to this forum and found it to be very informative. Thanks to all contributors, especially Kawasaki, for valuable input.
I spent quite a few hours reading several interesting articles. Almost like a bestseller novel.
To the topic:
I'm trying to utilize software Ethernet/IP ability of E-controller to communicate with Unistream PLC. Unfortunately, in attempt to follow Software Ethernet/IP PROCEDURE BEFORE OPERATION chapter in General Fieldbus I/O Usage Manual, I was interrupted by lack of pendant Aux. 0608 function. From the manual I understood that Software Ethernet/IP functionality doesn't require any additional hardware at robot side. In some article, activation of certain system option was mentioned. Can it be activated by user?
In the list of system switches, extracted by SWITCH command, nothing remaining of Ethernet or fieldbus was found. However, investigation of AllData.as file exposed OP_COMMU1 OFF and OP_FIELDBUS OFF lines accompanied by some negative values. Is that it? Is it enough to change them to ON? What is the meaning of those values? Must they also be changed?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Unfortunately, I didn't find forum "Search" function. Am I missing something?
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Alex
