Page 15: How Data Is Exchanged
How data is exchanged The following is a brief explanation to help understand how information is exchanged over the Ethernet with the other devices, such as between the controller and PC. In the communications method called TCP/IP, an IP address is assigned to each device connected on the network. -
Page 16: How To Connect To Ethernet
CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit How to connect to Ethernet The Ethernet unit employs 10BASE-T specifications, so the controller connects by a cable to the HUB. Use UTP cables (unshielded twisted-pair cables) or STP cables (shielded twisted-pair cables) for category 3 or higher, with straight-through wiring specifications. To connect to the Ethernet, insert the cable with modular jack into the modular connector on the controller until you hear a click. -
Page 17: Making System Settings For The Controller (Server)
Making system settings for the controller (server) A minimum of IP address, subnet mask and gateway settings must be made so that the controller will be correctly identified and acknowledged on Ethernet. These settings are made from the TPB and enabled after the controller is restarted. 2-4-1 Validating the Ethernet unit Before the Ethernet unit can be used, it must first be set as follows, to allow it to be... -
Page 18: Setting The Ip Address
CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-4-2 Setting the IP address This following explains how to set the IP address. The IP address is a number unique to each device and identifies that device from among many other devices connected on the network. The IP address of one device must not be the same number as another device so use caution when setting the IP address. - Page 19 CAUTION When connecting the controller on an already existing network, always check with the network supervisor before making IP address, subnet mask and gateway set- tings. M E M O M E M O The IP address is separated into network address and host address sections. The network address section is extracted from the IP address by AND processing with the subnet mask.

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-4-3 Setting the subnet mask This following explains how to set the subnet mask. The subnet mask is a numerical address used to subdivide the network into smaller parts. Press screen. Press display and then press Press The currently set subnet mask is now dis- played. -
Page 21: Setting The Gateway
2-4-4 Setting the gateway The following explains how to set the gateway. Basically this is specifying the router IP address. The router is a device relaying information from a certain network to a different network when two or more networks are present. Press (SYS) on the initial menu screen. - Page 22 CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit CAUTION Any appropriate gateway address can be used as long as the network is not con- nected to other networks. (However, use an IP address that has not yet been as- signed to other devices.) When connecting the controller on an already existing network, always check with the network supervisor before making IP address, subnet mask and gateway set- tings.

Page 23: Making The Pc Settings (Client)
Making the PC settings (client) The settings for the device (PC) are also essential for correctly exchanging information with the controller. A basic method for setting a computer using Windows 98 is de- scribed below. If using a device having a different OS (operating system) or TCP/IP protocols, refer to the user’s manual for that device for information on how to make the settings. - Page 24 CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit Set the gateway under the “Gateway” tab screen. Enter the IP address of the router serving as the gateway and then click the “Add” button. When finished making the settings, click the “OK” button a few times and a message appears asking if it is okay to restart the PC.

Page 25: Checking The Connection With "Ping
Checking the connection with “ping” Once you are finished with the network settings, make a check with “ping” to confirm that you can send and receive data normally. Here, “ping” is a network diagnostic tool incorporated into the OS as a standard feature. A simple description of how to use “ping” incorporated into Windows 98 is described below so refer to it when needed. -

Page 31: Telenet Communication Commands
TELENET communication commands 2-9-1 Communication command specifications TELNET communication commands are broadly classified into two types. One type is commands that instruct the Ethernet unit to process the command task. The other type is robot control commands to access the controller and perform sophisticated processing. -
Page 32: Ethernet Unit Control Commands
CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit 2-9-2 Ethernet unit control commands These commands instruct the Ethernet unit to process the command task. Unlike the robot control commands described later on, the Ethernet unit control commands may not require a start code ‘@’ (=40H) at the beginning of the command. (1) LOGOUT This command terminates TELNET communication. -
Page 33: Making A Connection With Telnet.exe
2-10 Making a connection with TELNET.EXE A typical Windows PC has a TELNET terminal called TELNET.EXE as standard equip- ment. The following briefly explains how to make a connection using TELNET.EXE. Preconditions are a controller IP address of 192.168.0.2, a port No. of 23, and all other dedicated TELNET parameters at their default values. - Page 34 CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit An OK message appears on the screen when the login check ends normally. From now on, commands and messages can be exchanged with the robot. When the task or job is complete, enter the LOGOUT or BYE command to can- cel the connection with the controller and press the Enter key.

Page 49: Description Of Terminology
2-15-2 Description of terminology ■ TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) TCP/IP is a general term for a group of standard protocols for carrying out communi- cations over the Internet centering around TCP and IP protocols. Computers and PCs capable of accessing the Internet all use TCP/IP protocols. The Ethernet unit contains TCP, IP, ICMP, ARP and TELNET protocols. - Page 50 CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit ■ IP address The IP address is a unique number assigned to each device to identify that device on the network and prevent the same number from being used by different devices. (More accurately, an IP address is assigned to each network interface, since once PC may sometimes be installed with multiple network interfaces.) In a TCP/IP protocol, the data transmit source and destination are specified by this IP address.
- Page 51 ■ Subnet mask The subnet mask is used to separate the IP address into a network address section and a host address section. The network address bit is set to 1, and the host address bit is set to 0. The subnet mask, just like the IP address is expressed as a decimal number of 32 bits (4 bytes) with each byte separated by a period (or four sets of numbers separated by periods).
