Plugin installation

Step 1: Check robot software

The plugin uses socket messaging over TCP/IP protocol. You must have the optional “User Socket Msg” software (R648) installed on your robot to enable socket communication.

If it is correctly installed, the following information should be displayed on the IPendant touch under the path MENU/STATUS/Version ID/Media and select NEXT/ORDER FI.

Connect the USB key to the IPendant touch of the robot. On the IPendant touch, go to MENU/FILE/UTILE/Set Device/Select your device. Then, for each file, select the file and click LOAD.
