An Ethernet communication connection is required for the robot and Pick-it equipment to interoperate. For the Ethernet communication connection, the controller of Hyundai Robotics provides one Ethernet port, while the Pick-it equipment provides two Ethernet ports. The UDP2TCP conversion equipment should be used between the robot controller and the Pick-it equipment for protocol conversion. The complete Ethernet connection among the robot, Pick-it equipment, and the UDP2TCP conversion equipment is shown in Figure 2-1. There is a separate PC for monitoring the robot controller, updating the SW version, and downloading the JOB file. However, it is an option for convenience and does not have to be used when the robot is interfacing with the Pick-it equipment.
