    Configuration of robot interface

    link_horizontalLink copied

    Dip-switch function

    The dip-switch (1) on the robot interface RI FB Inside/i is used to configure
    • the process data width
    • the node address/IP address

    At the factory all positions of the dip switch are set to OFF (3).
    This corresponds to the binary value 0.

    The position (2) corresponds to the binary value 1.

    The process data width defines the scope of the transferred data volume.

    The kind of data volume that can be transferred depends on
    • the robot controls
    • the number of welding machines
    • the type of welding machines
      • "Intelligent Revolution"
      • "Digital Revolution" (Retro Fit)

    The node address is set with positions 1 to 6 of the dip switch.
    The configuration is carried out in binary format. This results in a configuration range of 1 to 63 in decimal format

    NOTE!

    After every change of the configurations of the dip switch settings, the interface needs to be restarted so that the changes will take effect.


    (Restart = interrupting and restoring the power supply
    or executing the relevant function on the website of the power source)

    1. Configuration of robot interface

    IP Settings

    link_horizontalLink copied
    Node address 0 is set via the DIP switch on delivery. This corresponds to the following IP settings:
    • IP address: 0.0.0.0
    • Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
    • Default gateway: 0.0.0.0

    In the case of ProfiNet, the assignment of the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway is carried out by the master. A device name is also assigned to the interface by the master.

    1. Configuration of robot interface

    The Website of the welding machine

    link_horizontalLink copied

    The welding machine has its own website, the SmartManager.
    As soon as the welding machine has been integrated into a network, the SmartManager can be opened via the IP address of the welding machine.

    Depending on the system configuration and software upgrades, the SmartManager may contain the following entries:
    • Overview
    • Update
    • Screenshot
    • Save and restore
    • Function packages
    • Job data
    • Overview of characteristics
    • RI FB INSIDE/i
    1. Configuration of robot interface

    Call up the welding machine SmartManager and log in

    link_horizontalLink copied
    1Defaults / System / Information ==> Note down the IP address of the welding machine
    2Enter the IP address in the browser search field.
    3Enter username and password.

    Factory setting:
    Username = admin
    Password = admin (up to firmware version < V4.3.15)

    IMPORTANT! From firmware version V4.3.15 and higher, the password for the SmartManager corresponds to the Unique Password.
    This Unique Password is a 20-digit number printed on the rating plate of the welding machine.
    4Confirm the displayed message.

    The unique password does not have to be changed when logging in to the SmartManager for the first time.

    The SmartManager of the welding machine is displayed.

    Input and output signals

    link_horizontalLink copied

    Data types

    The following data types are used:
    • UINT16 (Unsigned Integer)
      Whole number in the range from 0 to 65535
    • SINT16 (Signed Integer)
      Whole number in the range from -32768 to 32767
    Conversion examples:
    • for a positive value (SINT16)
      e.g. desired wire speed x factor
      12.3 m/min x 100 = 1230dec = 04CEhex
    • for a negative value (SINT16)
      e.g. arc correction x factor
      -6.4 x 10 = -64dec = FFC0hex
