Configuration of robot interface
Dip-switch function
The dip-switch (1) on the robot interface RI FB Inside/i is used to configure
- the process data width
- the node address/IP address
At the factory all positions of the dip switch are set to OFF (3).
This corresponds to the binary value 0.
The position (2) corresponds to the binary value 1.
Configuration of the process data width
Dip switch | Configuration | |||||||
8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
OFF | OFF | – | – | – | – | – | – | Standard image 320 Bit |
OFF | ON | – | – | – | – | – | – | Economy image 128 Bit |
ON | OFF | – | – | – | – | – | – | Retro Fit Scope dependent on bus module |
ON | ON | – | – | – | – | – | – | Not used |
The process data width defines the scope of the transferred data volume.
The kind of data volume that can be transferred depends on
- the robot controls
- the number of welding machines
- the type of welding machines
- “Intelligent Revolution”
- “Digital Revolution” (Retro Fit)
Set node address with dip switch (example)
Dip switch | Node address | |||||||
8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
– | – | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON | 1 |
– | – | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON | OFF | 2 |
– | – | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | ON | ON | 3 |
– | – | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | OFF | 62 |
– | – | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | 63 |
The node address is set with positions 1 to 6 of the dip switch.
The configuration is carried out in binary format. This results in a configuration range of 1 to 63 in decimal format
NOTE!
After every change of the configurations of the dip switch settings, the inter- face needs to be restarted so that the changes will take effect.
(Restart = interrupting and restoring the power supply or executing the relevant function on the website of the power source)
Setting the IP Address
Upon delivery the node address is set to 0 using the dip switch.
This corresponds to the following IP settings:
- IP address: 0.0.0.0
- Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
- Default gateway: 0.0.0.0
The IP address can be configured in two ways:
- Using the DIP switch within the range defined by 192.168.0.xx (xx = DIP switch setting = 1 to 63)
- If the dip switch is set to 0, using the following configuration tools:
- Using the website of the welding machine
NOTE!
If the IP address is again set to higher than 0 with the dip switch, the relevant IP address will be configured to the range of 1 to 63 after restarting the robot interface.
A node address previously configured by a configuration tool is overwritten.
NOTE!
If configurations have already been made, the network configurations can be restored to factory settings in two ways:
▶ set all dip switches back to 0
▶ with the button Restore factory settings on the website of the welding machine
The Website of the welding machine
The welding machine has its own website, the SmartManager.
As soon as the welding machine has been integrated into a network, the SmartManager can be opened via the IP address of the welding machine.
Depending on the system configuration and software upgrades, the SmartManager may contain the following entries:
- Overview
- Update
- Screenshot
- Save and restore
- Function packages
- Job data
- Overview of characteristics
- RI FB INSIDE/i
Call up the welding machine SmartManager and log in
- Presettings / System/Information ==> note down IP address of the welding machine
- Enter the IP address into the search field of the browser
- Enter username and password
Factory setting:
Username = admin
Password = admin - Confirm displayed message
The welding machine SmartManager is displayed.
Input and output signals
Data types
The following data types are used:
- UINT16 (Unsigned Integer)
Whole number in the range from 0 to 65535 - SINT16 (Signed Integer)
Whole number in the range from -32768 to 32767
Conversion examples:
- for a positive value (SINT16) e.g. desired wire speed x factor 12.3 m/min x 100 = 1230dec = 04CEhex
- for a negative value (SINT16) e.g. arc correction x factor -6.4 x 10 = -64dec = FFCOhex
