How to connect to a Robot via Wifi or Service Port
Connecting over the Wireless Network
Open Robot Studio, if it is not already open. You do not need to create or open a solution.
Click on the controller tab
Select the Add Controller Drop-down Menu (1). Then select the Add Controller.. option (2).
In the Remote Controller (1) window enter the IP address for the robot you wish to control and click Add (2).
IP Addresses are supplied as needed by Robotics Lab staff.
Once a connection has been made, the selected robot will appear in the controller menu (1). Make sure it is selected then click Ok (2).
Wait for the Robot to connect, then check it loaded correctly. The left side of the screen should look similar to below:
If it doesn't say "Network" at the top, the robot is not connected properly.
Connecting with an Ethernet Cable
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Service Port of the robot. The location of the IRB1200 and IRB120 service ports are shown below.
The IRB 120 service port is located inside the controller. Please ask Robotics Lab Staff if an Ethernet cable is not present. Do not open the controller door.
Open Robot Studio, if it is not already open. You do not need to create or open a solution.
Click on the controller tab
Click on the Add Controller Button, otherwise called One Click Connect
The Robot will connect to your PC.
The top left should say "Service Port" if connected correctly.
