Robot Controller Setting

Set parameters of the robot controller with WICNAPSIII.

1

Transfer "I/O" data from the robot controller to WINCAPSIII. If WINCAPSIII has already received robot controller's I/O data, go on to the next step.

For details on how to transfer data from robot controller to WINCAPSIII, refer to "Data Transfer". To show "I/O" data, expand "Parameter" in the Controller data list of the [Transfer data] window. (see the figure below)

2

Open the setting window of the field network slave terminal parameters.

1. From the [Project] menu, select [Property].
2. On the [Property] window, click the [I/O] tab.

3

If you added a field network slave terminal into an already existing robot controller, change the device.

From the [Device selection list box], select a field network slave terminal you have just added.

4

For about the number of I/O slot, refer to “Quick Reference Table for the Number of Input/Output Slots".  I/O can be added or removed by one byte; this will determine the maximum number of I/O.

5

Select the node address and communication speed.

6

1. Click [OK] button.
2. A message box that asks if you initializes the I/O allocation will appear. Click "Yes" or "No".

Send your setting data to the robot controller.

1. Select [Transfer data] from the [Connect] menu.
2. Open [Parameter] in the [WINCAPSIII] pane and select the check box of [I/O].

This completes the robot controller setting.
