This topic describes how to use the external equipment to control the robot arm by sending
commands with TCP/IP.
Prerequisites
 The Dobot M1 has been connected to a PC successfully. For details, please see 5.2.3
Connecting Serial Port or 5.2.4Connecting Network Cable.
If the server is the main controller, you must connect the Dobot M1 to a PC with a network
cable.
 The Dobot M1 has been powered on.
 The Dobot M1 has been connected to the emergency stop switch.
Procedure
To build a remote control system, we need to create a server. We can take the PC
where the M1Studio is located or the main controller as a server. Program 6.1 shows
the server script demo (supposing that the name is syncServer.script), and the parts
of the demo shown in bold can be user-defined.
 If the server is the PC where the M1Studio is located (Supposing that IP address is
192.168.1.10), the Dobot M1 can be connected to the PC by a serial port or a network
cable, and HOST, PORT = "192.168.1.10", 50030.
The port cannot be occupied.
 If the server is the main controller (Suppose that IP address is 192.168.1.20), the
Dobot M1 can only be connected to PC by a network cable, and HOST, PORT =
"192.168.1.20", 50030.
The port cannot be occupied.
NOTICE
The IP address of server and client must be in the same network segment. Otherwise, the
remote control is invalid.
