Network settings can set the controller IP, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and teach pendant IP (this IP is valid when using our FR-HMI teach pendant, and the teach pendant enable status needs to be configured to enable when using the FR-HMI teach pendant), which is convenient for customers to use the scene.
16.1.1. Network settings
Figure 15.1‑2 Network settings diagram
Set network card: Enter the network card IP, subnet mask (linked with IP, automatically filled in), default gateway, and DNS server that need to communicate. The factory default IP of network card 0 network port is: 192.168.57.2, and the factory default IP of network card 1 network port is: 192.168.58.2.
Teach pendant enable: Control whether to enable the teach pendant. The teach pendant is turned off by default, and the device cannot be operated using the teach pendant. Click the slide switch button to enable the teach pendant to operate the device.
Access IP: Select the network card associated with WebAPP and WebRecovery. When the teach pendant is enabled, WebAPP selects network card 1 by default, and network card 0 is not selectable.
Set up network: Click the “Set up network” button, and it will prompt that the configuration is in progress. After the configuration is complete, you need to restart the device.
16.1.1.1. No-Login Operation
16.1.1.1.1. Functional Overview
After enabling the No-Login Operation feature on the physical teach pendant, the following functions can be achieved:
When no user is logged into the teach interface, rotating the physical key switch allows the robot to switch between manual/automatic modes, with the end-effector light color changing accordingly.
When no user is logged into the teach interface, in automatic mode, pressing the physical start switch allows the robot to begin running the currently loaded program.
When no user is logged into the teach interface, in automatic mode, pressing the physical stop switch allows the robot to stop running.
16.1.1.1.2. Instructions for Use
Log in to the webapp page, click “System Settings,” then click “General Settings.” In the Teach Pendant section under the Network module, turn on the “Teach Pendant Enable” switch and the “No-Login Operation” switch. Once the feature is enabled, you can control the robot’s manual/automatic mode switching and program start/stop using the physical buttons without being logged into the teach pendant page. This configuration is retained after a power restart.
