3.  Communications (general) 

(1) 

What are the means for communication with the robot controller? 

With a CR800/750/700 series robot controller, you can communicate via USB, Ethernet, and RS-232.   
With a CRn-500 series robot controller, you can communicate via Ethernet and RS-232. However, when 
using Ethernet with a CRn-500 series robot controller, the robot controller must have the optional Ethernet 
card. 
For details, see 

"9.1 Robots Connected and Types of Communication"

. 

 

(2) 

Where are the communications settings made? 

They are made on the project edit screen. For details, see

 "9.2 Connection Settings"

. 

For the robot controller side, change the communications parameters with the optional teaching box. For 
details, see 

"Detailed explanations of functions and operations"

 in the robot controller's user's manual. 

[Caution] The communication settings must be made on both this software and the robot controller. 
If you change the robot controller settings, you must change the settings in this software too. 

 

(3) 

I cannot communicate with the robot controller. 

If you cannot communicate with the robot controller, check the following. 
Also see 

"4  Communications (RS-232)"

, 

"5  Communication (Ethernet)"

, and 

"6  Communication 

(USB)"

. 

 

Check item or cause 

Solution 

Is the connected robot controller selected 
correctly? 

Check if the correct project is selected with this software. 
For details, see 

"8.18 Offline/Online/Simulation"

. 

Is the robot controller power supply On? 

Switch On the robot controller's power supply and check 
that the robot controller starts up normally. 

Is Communication Server 2 running? 
Communication Server 2 is started 
automatically when this software is started. 
Communication Server 2 is started as an 
icon. 

If you closed Communication Server 2 by mistake, close 
this software, then restart it. 

Are you connected to a robot controller 
other than the CR800/750/700/500 series? 

Check the robot controller model name in its user's 
manual (or standard specifications or the like). 

Are the robot controller's network settings 
correct? 

The robot controller's network settings are made by the 
parameters. Check the robot controller's network 
settings with the optional teaching box. 

Are the communications settings on this 
software correct? 

Set the correct communications settings. 
For details, see 

"9.2 Connection Settings"

. 

Is some other MELFA product running? 
For example is E/EN series computer 
support software or P/P or P/P-2 running? 

Close any MELFA product other than this software. 
For details, see 

"1.6 When Starting at the Same Time 

as Another Product"

.
