Use the network equipments (personal computer, USB hub, LAN hub, etc) confirmed by
manufacturer. The thing unsuitable for the FA environment (related with conformity,
temperature or noise) exists in the equipments connected to USB. When using network
equipment, measures against the noise, such as measures against EMI and
the addition of the ferrite core, may be necessary. Please fully confirm the operation
by customer. Guarantee and maintenance of the equipment on the market (usual office
automation equipment) cannot be performed.
When USB connection is used between RT ToolBox3 or RT VisualBox and the robot
controller, data communication may become unstable due to noise.
As a solution, switching communication method to LAN connection is recommended.
