2.1.1. Setting HiNet

2.1.1. Setting HiNet​

 

Set the cooperation control function as enable, and set the group number and robot number in a way that they do not overlap. It is possible to set the number of groups up to 6, and then assign 4 robots for each group, thus making it possible for 12 units to gain access to HiNet.

 

 

Select 『[F2]: System』 → 『2: Control Parameters』 → 『9: Network』→ 『3: Service』→ 『1: Cooperation Control』 to set the cooperation control as “enable” as shown below, and then set the group number and the robot number.

Take precautions to ensure that there are no overlapping robot numbers within the same group.

 

 

After setting, use the following method to check the status of the settings and the status of the HiNet network.

 

      1)     Robot cooperation control setting status

When rebooting is carried out after setting the cooperation control, the cooperation control status will be displayed on the top right side.

It will be displayed in the form of I:G#R#. G represents the group number, and R refers to the robot number.

 

      2)     The HiNet network status of the relevant group

Select 『[F1]: Service』 → 『1: Monitoring』 → 『10: Cooperation Control Data』→ 『1: Cooperation Control Status』. Then, the status of robots 1–4 of the same group will be displayed on the right side of the screen. At this time, robots displayed as '----' have not been properly connected to the Cooperation control network.

 

 

      3)     The HiNet network status of all robots

Select 『[F1]: Service』 → 『1: Monitoring』 → 『10: Cooperation Control Data』→ 『2: HiNet I/O』. Then, the status of robots 1–4 of the same group will be displayed on the right side of the screen. In this state, click 『[F5]: Overall configuration』. Then, a window for the HiNet-IO connection status will be generated. In this process, the robots marked in green are the ones participating in the cooperative control network.

 

 

 

If each status check window does not give a normal indication, supply the power to the relevant robot and then check whether indication occurs normally. If the problem is not solved after reconnecting the power, reexamine the Cooperation control setting and check for faulty network lines.
