Note

The programs for R-30iB Plus controller have not been changed from version 1.0.0 to 1.1.0.

Version 1.2.0

Resolved Issues

  • It is no longer necessary to enter a fixed local host with the name eyeplus in the section MENU > SETUP > Host Comm.

  • It is possible to configure your robot clients to communicate with an EYE+ configured on any available port.

    Note

    Refer to Network Requirements for more information on available ports.

Version 1.3.0

Resolved Issues

Communication problems have occurred in some specific scenarios:

  • On consecutive calls EYE_STOP.

  • When multiple EYE_STOP are called simultaneously.

  • If your main program is stopped while communication is in progress, the communication remains locked.

  • In some specific cases, communication gets stuck in deadlocks. As a result, your program gets stuck on one of the EYE+ commands.

  • Sometimes the communication does not end correctly.

New Features

  • It is no longer necessary to call the EYE_CONFIGURE command every time. If you have called this command and your network configuration remains the same, it is no longer necessary to call this command even after turning off and restarting your robot.

  • It is no longer necessary to configure the communication manually via the MENU > SETUP > Host Comm > [SHOW] > Clients section. The configuration is handled entirely by the EYE_CONFIGURE command. However, it is always necessary to restart your robot controller after the first configuration.

  • There are now fewer registers reserved by the plugin. The registers shown below are now free to use:
