2.5.3. Connecting a PC to the service port
NOTE!
The service port shall only be used for direct connection to a PC as described in this
procedure. It must not be connected to a LAN (local area network), since it has a DHCP server
that automatically distributes IP addresses to all units connected to the LAN.
Contact your network administrator if you need more information.
NOTE!
Maximum number of connected network clients using robapi are:
• LAN: 3
• Service: 1
• FlexPendant: 1
Total max. number of applications using robapi running on the same pc connected to one
controller has no builtin maximum, however UAS limits the max number of logged on user’s
to 50.
Total max. number of concurrent connected ftp clients are 4.
CAUTION!
When a cable is connected to the service port on the controller front and the service hatch or
the connector cover on the single cabinet are opened, the controller will not comply with the
requirements of protection class IP54.
