NOTE: Users are strongly recommended to read the general introduction to robot interfaces prior to installing specific robot modules.

1. Prerequisites

Photoneo Mitsubishi Interface is written in MELFA V language and it it should be compatible with following controllers:

  • - CR750D
  • - CR800

The robot used for the development: RV2-FR + CR800 controller with firmware version as shown in the figure below:

NOTE: RT Toolbox3 Software is highly recommended for setting up Photoneo Mitsubishi Module

2. Mitsubishi Controller Setup

2.1 Set IP Address

Setting up an IP Address of Robot Controller is an essential step in robot configuration.

It is not possible to go Online until the configuration of IP address does not match the network configuration of PC running RT Toolbox (same subnet)

Turn on the Robot Controller and Click the MEMU at the bottom. Select Parameter to open the Parameter list:

Confirm WRITE and try to ping the Robot Controller from your PC. If this operation is successful, it should be possible to go Online from RTToolBox3.

2.2 Connect from RT ToolBox3

When configuring the new project in RTToolBox it is recommended to enable TCP/IP communication for commissioning.

The default configuration should work with RTToolbox3. Do not change any parameters here unless you know exactly what you are doing:

If project configuration has been completed, RTToolbox should be in Offline mode:

Change to Online mode to start configuring Robot Controller:

Photoneo Mitsubishi Interface consists of following .prg files:

  • - PHOCLIENT - handles communication with BP Studio - Do Not Edit
  • - PHOCOMMON - holds the definition of global variables
  • - PHOMAIN - the main program loop is defined here amend program, poses, logic and gripper actions here
  • - PHOSTATE - state server module, it runs in the background from the boot and keeps reporting joint states and TCP pose to the Bin Picking Studio.

As a first step in the Robot Controller configuration upload these four files to the Program List. Open Program Manager:
