8.1.1 Interfaces
There are two interface types that could be used:
• Ethernet interface
This interface can be used to access the Web Client that can be used to monitor, control, and update
the grippers/devices. Furthermore, via this interface the OnRobot WebLogic can also be accessed
to program the Digital I/O Interface.
• Digital I/O interface
This interface could be used to communicate via simple digital I/O lines with the robots. There are
8 digital input and 8 digital output that could be used. These inputs and outputs can be programmed
through the OnRobot WebLogic that requires the Ethernet interface to be used (only for
programming time).
8.1.2 Web Client
To access the Web Client on your computer first the Ethernet interface needs to be set up to have a proper
communication between your computer and the Compute Box. It is recommended to use Auto mode (for
further details see section Ethernet Interface Setup).
Then do the following steps:
• Connect the Compute Box to your computer with the supplied UTP cable.
• Power the Compute Box with the supplied power supply
• Wait one minute for the Compute Box LED to turn from blue to green.
• Open a web browser on your computer and type in the IP address of the Compute Box (factory
default is 192.168.1.1).
