Table 2.  TCP/IP Interface Parameters

PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION

Robot Name

This item specifies the name of the robot controller. The robot name defaults to ROBOT.

This name field is common between Ethernet ports and is local to the robot.

Port # IP Address

This item specifies a unique internet (IP) Address for the robot Ethernet Interface. Consult your network administrator for the IP address setting. The port # indicates whether you are working with port #1 (TOP RJ45 connection labeled as CD38A) or port #2 (bottom RJ45 connection labeled as CD38B). Use the (F3) port FUNCTION key to change ports to configure. If the Enhanced Vision Ethernet Port option (R825) is loaded then the Vision Ethernet Port (CD38C) is also available and is referred to as Port #3.

Router IP Address

This item specifies the Internet (IP) Address of the router. This setting is common between the first two Ethernet ports. The router IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the first two Ethernet ports.

If the Enhanced Vision Ethernet Port option (R825) is loaded then the Vision Ethernet Port (CD38C, referred to as Port #3) router setting is independent of the router for the first two ports.

Subnet Mask

This item is used to distinguish local hosts from hosts that must be reached across routers. The default is 255.255.255.0. Consult your network administrator for the proper setting.

Board Address

This item displays the Ethernet Hardware (MAC) address for the Ethernet Interface. This field is read only. This address conforms to the standards of Ethernet board addresses.

Host Name (LOCAL or SHARED)

This item specifies the Internet hostname. Entries for any hosts referred to by an FTP client tag, for example, are required, unless DNS is used. This item is case sensitive.

Internet Address

This item specifies the corresponding Internet address of each host.

5.  SM SETUP SCREEN

You can view Socket Messaging parameters from the SETUP SM screen. This protocol is not configurable from the SETUP Host Comm screen. Socket messaging can be configured from the SETUP Clients or SETUP servers screens. For more information, refer to the Internet Options Manual.

5.1.  Overview

The User Socket Messaging Option gives you the benefit of using TCP/IP socket messaging from KAREL.

Socket Messaging enables data exchange between networked robots and a remote PC with LINUX, or a UNIX workstation. A typical application of Socket Messaging might be a robot running a KAREL program that sends process information to a monitoring program on the remote PC. The combination of PC-Interface option on the robot and PC-Developers Kit on the PC is recommended for data exchange between the robot and a Windows-based PC.

Socket Messaging uses the TCP/IP protocol to transfer raw data, or data that is in its original, unformatted form across the network. Commands and methods that Socket Messaging uses to transfer data are part of the TCP/IP protocol. Since Socket Messaging supports client and server tags, applications requiring timeouts, heartbeats, or data formatting commands can provide these additional semantics at both the client and server (application) sides of the socket messaging connection.

In order to use Socket Messaging, you need to configure the following network hardware and software parameters:

  • On the server,

    • The port you want to use for socket messaging

  • On the client,

    • The IP address or name of your server

    • The port on the server that you want to use for socket messaging.

Note

The server port at which the server listens on should match the port the client tries to connect on.

5.2.  Setting up a Server Tag

You need configure the server tags you want to use for socket messaging. Use Setting up a Server Tag to set up your server tags.

Note

If the server tags you want to use are being used by a network protocol other than TCP/IP, you need to undefine the tags before they can be used for socket messaging. After making sure the tag you want to use is not critical to another component of your network, you must undefine the tag.

Procedure 1.  Setting up a Server Tag

Conditions

  • The tag you want to set up is not configured to be used by another device on your network.

Refer to the Advanced iPendant Functions appendix in the Application-specific Setup and Operations Manual for more information.

12.  DNS SETUP SCREEN

Several parameters are used to configure the DNS interface on your robot. Table 11, " DNS Parameters " lists and describes the parameters you must define.

Table 11.  DNS Parameters

PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION

Primary DNS Server

This item specifies the IP address of the primary DNS server on your network. This server will be contacted by the robot when it is asked to connect to a host whose IP address is unknown. Contact your network administrator for the address of your primary DNS server. DNS will not work if you do not provide the IP address of your primary DNS server.

Secondary DNS Server

This item specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server for your network. This server will be contacted if your primary server is unreachable or not responding. It is not required in order for DNS to work. Not all networks have secondary DNS servers, so you should check with your network administrator to see if your network has one.

Local Domain Name

This item is the domain name for your local network. Examples of local domain names are frc.com or aarnet.edu.au. Your network administrator can provide you with the correct local domain name for your network. While in most instances you will only need to configure a single local domain name, there exist rare instances where multiple local domain names are required. Up to five names can be configured, separated by a semicolon ';'.

Note

DNS will not work if you do not provide a local domain name.

Number of Retries (1,3)

If a DNS server does not respond to a query, the robot will attempt to contact the DNS server again. The number of retries is the number of times a robot will attempt to contact a DNS server after the initial query fails. The number of retries can be set to 1, 2 or 3 retries, and the default is 2 retries.

Wait Time (1,7)

This item is the amount of time the robot will wait for a response from a DNS server before trying to initiate another query. You can set the wait time to be between 1 and 7 seconds. The default is 2 seconds.

13. DHCP SETUP SCREEN

The DHCP setup screens are located on the Setup-Hostcomm-TCP/IP screens. The DHCP button on this screen launches the DHCP SETUP screen.

Note

The DHCP button shows up only when DHCP is installed on the robot.

Table 12.  DHCP SETUP Screen Items

ITEM DESCRIPTION

DHCP enable

Values: TRUE or FALSE

This item indicates whether DHCP is enabled.

DHCP status

This item indicates the status of the current DHCP operation.

14.  ADVANCED DHCP SETUP SCREEN

Table 13.  Advanced DHCP SETUP Screen Items

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Client ID

This item is an optional parameter that the client can send to the server to request specific configuration information. This item can use the Ethernet address of the robot, or any string identifier. If you are typing an Ethernet address, the format must be six bytes separated by colons (for example, 00:E0:E4:F7:94:AC).

Set hostname in request

This item allows the robot to function like Windows-based DHCP clients (PCs) in sending out its hostname in the form of a DHCP request. To use the set hostname in request field, you have to make sure that the robot hostname field is set from the TCP/IP screens first. Setting this field sets $DHCP_CTRL.$SETHOST.

Retry rate on failure

This item controls the rate (in minutes) at which retries occur if the robot does not get a response back from the server. The DHCP internally tries for a full minute to contact the server before giving up and reporting an error. This retry rate field determines when the next attempt to contact the server must be done. Setting this field sets the system variable $DHCP_CTRL.$RETRATE.

Use last valid IP on failure

This item is used in a case where the robot has a previously assigned IP address and the lease is still valid on the IP address. When power is cycled on the robot, the robot on booting contacts the DHCP server to confirm the lease (this is standard DHCP behavior). If the DHCP server does not respond for some reason (network/ server is down or damage to cables), then this field determines if the robot will continue to use the IP address. If set to TRUE, then under these conditions, the robot will continue to use the IP address; if set to FALSE, the robot will not use the IP address. Under no circumstances will the robot use the IP address beyond the lease expiration time, regardless of this setting. Setting this field sets the system variable $DHCP_CTRL.$USEIP.

15.  SETUP CLIENTS SCREEN

Select F4 [SHOW] and then Clients.
