7.2.6.3 Robot communication
In this section, set the mounting type, rotation convention, and protocol that the robot
uses for communication with the robot guidance (RG) system.
By default, the RG system uses the same port for incoming and outgoing messages.
Mounting type
Select mounting type from the list. The mounting types are explained in the list.
Only the jobs defined with work planes that were aligned using the selected mounting
type method can be used.
Rotation convention
Select a rotation convention from the list. The rotation conventions are explained in the
list.
Rotation results in the Alignment and Run pages, and in the fieldbus monitor will be
converted to a new rotation convention.
Native protocol
The native protocol is the recommended protocol. It allows access to all commands that
are available in the RG system. This protocol also automatically identifies the syntax
that the robot controller uses. If it is not possible for the RG system to clearly identify
the syntax (for example if the robot controller sends a command that is applicable to
more than one syntaxes) you can select a syntax in the Syntax list.
•
In the Native protocol section, enable the communication interface. By default, the
Enable native protocol communication interface setting is disabled.
•
Enter the port number in the Port field. 14158 is the default port.
•
See the Syntax list for examples of commands formatted in a specific syntax.
•
Some robot brands require messages to and from the robot controller to be sepa‐
rated in specific ways. See the Message framing list for options on how to separate
messages to the robot controller.
Compatibility protocol
Compatibility protocol is used when a customer-specific protocol has been implemented.
•
In the Compatibility protocol section, enable the communication interface. By
default, the Enable compatibility protocol communication interface setting is disabled.
•
Enter the port number in the Port field. Default port number is 6008.
•
See the Message framing list for options on how to separate messages to the robot
controller.
Fieldbus configuration
Click a protocol in the Protocol type list, to activate a fieldbus communication protocol.
When you activate a protocol type, the data stream is displayed in the fieldbus monitor
in the Diagnostics section.
Select a version in the Protocol version list:
•
Version 2: Using telegram ID (recommended): Default for new installations.
•
Version 1: Using control bits: Select this option for existing installations using com‐
mand control bits.
