Usage of interface with DX100

[Pär Lundgren]

Hi,

I'm trying to establish connection with a Motoman DX100 controller, connected to a SIA20D robot, that is recently updated with latest sw, version 3.6xxxx -14. Which shall have support for use as server application.

motoman_driver and industrial core is installed from source, using ROS Groovy desktop full. Controller setup is according to server application tutorial.

First of all, how do I find out the robot's IP? For use of command: roslaunch motoman_driver robot_interface_streaming_dx100.launch robot_ip:=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Is this the appropriate way to establish first contact with controller?

Grateful for any help!

Greetings

/ Pär

Hi P�r,

you should be able to find the IP of the robot in the network
configuration of your DX100.

Make sure the PC you are using is in the same range (the 'ping' command
can be used to make sure you can communicate with the DX100).

the roslaunch line you quote would then start the appropriate nodes on
the ROS side, yes.

The IP address of your DX100 controller can be viewed on the pendant.

1) Touch [System Info] > [Security] and upgrade to MANAGEMENT level security (default password: 99999999).

 

2) Touch [System Info] > [Network Service] to view the IP address.

 

The default IP of the DX100 is 192.168.255.1.  If you need to change the IP of the controller, you can do this in MAINTENANCE mode.

 

To change IP:

1) Boot into MAINTENANCE mode by holding {Main Menu} key on the pendant while turning it on.  (You can let go as soon as you see the logo appear on the screen).

 

2) Upgrade to MANAGEMENT level security.

 

3) Touch [System] > [Setup] > "Option Function" > "Network".  Then edit the "Host Detail".

You can also view the IP via the RS parameters. Login under Management Mode, then Select Parameters --> RS --> Then scroll down to RS70

RS70 = First Octet of IP

RS71 = Second Octet of IP

RS72 = Third Octet of IP

RS73 = Fourth Octet of IP

RS74 = First Octet of Subnet

RS75 = Second Octet of Subnet

RS76 = Third Octet of Subnet

RS77 = Fourth octet of Subnet

RS78 = First Octet of Gateway

RS79 = Second Octet of Gateway

RS80 = Third Octet of Gateway

RS81 = Fourth octet of Gateway

I'm wanting to say that I have changed the IP address by simply changing the values in those parameters, and then cycling power. Might have been on an NX that I did. I do not know if the newer DX's will accept the change or not.
