Plugin configuration

1. Connect the robot to your EYE+

Connect an Ethernet cable between the Yaskawa controller port LAN and the EYE+ robot port.

2. Configure robot network settings

You must set the robot’s IP address to the same subnet as the robot’s port on your EYE+.

  • Restart your robot in Maintenance Mode and switch to Management Mode in SYSTEM / SECURITY.

  • Then, go to SYSTEM / SETUP / OPTION FUNCTION / LAN INTERFACE SETTING. Set the desired IP address.

Note

To check the robot port settings, in EYE+ Studio under CONFIGURATION, go to the Communication > Robot TCP/IP > TCP/IP. To get more information about network configuration, please refer to Communication.

3. Check the network configuration

Try to send a ping request to your EYE+ by clicking on SYSTEM INFO / NETWORK UTILITY and enter the IP address of your EYE+. Click on EXECUTE to send the ping request.

4. Configure your EYE+ controller

Your robot can communicate with the EYE+ Controller via TCP/IP protocols. To be able to communicate, you must select the correct end of line character: LF in EYE+ Studio under CONFIGURATION, in Communication > Robot TCP/IP > TCP/IP Configuration section (Fig. 6).
