1. Prerequisities
Photoneo KAWASAKI Interface is compatible with E series controllers.
2. KAWASAKI Controller setup
The following tutorial gives a step by step guide of how to configure your KAWASAKI E-series controller and install all necessary .pg files you will need to get the robot interface for Photoneo Binpicking Studio up and running.
2.1 Network configuration
Turn on the E series Controller, wait for the system to boot, open the Menu screen and select the Aux Function option:
In Aux function menu select System option:
Select Network Settings:
Configure network settings of Port 1 and confirm by clicking Enter Button. Port 1 will be utilized for communication with Binpicking Studio:
In case you want to utilize KRTerm for transferring programs between PC and Robot controller you also need to configure Port 2. Click Next Page configure network settings and confirm by Enter button.
Restart robot controller to apply network settings.
3. AS language
Photoneo KAWASAKI interface consists of three .pg files
- photoneo_common.pg
- customer_definitions.pg
- main_application.pg
3.1 Transfering .pg files to robot controller
The first step in the installation of Photoneo KAWASAKI Interface is to copy .pg files from Photoneo KAWASAKI Module Archive which you received with Photoneo BP Studio to the Robot Controller.
You can copy the files directly from the USB stick using the Pendant, however the most convenient method to transfer the .pg files is to use the KRTerm tool.
Make sure that Port 2 is configured for communication with your PC and they are connected to the same subnet.
Open KRTerm and select COM -> Options to add new robot controller:
Type IP address of Port 2 as configured in the pendant in previous step:
Click File -> Set Current Folder and set path to the folder where you keep .pg files
We are now ready to connect to the robot. Make sure that you are able to ping robot controller from your PC and click on Connect button. If connection was established properly you should see login prompt as shown in the figure below:
Use password as to log in. Now your are able to issue commands directly to robot controller. In order to load .pg files to robot controller use LOAD command as shown in the figure below:
Use LOAD command to upload all three .pg files of Photoneo KAWASAKI interface.
