Method 2: Master/Slave connection

Description

Use this method only for robots connected directly with single network cable.

The network communication between the Master robot and the Slave robot can break down, causing the calibration to stop.

  • Follow the on-screen prompt to resume the process

The Master / Slave network connection uses self-assigned IP addresses, which can interfere with local area network devices.
Connecting the Master / Slave network (Method 2)

Define the network connection types as listed in the following table:

Network connection type IP Address
Master 10.17.17.18
Slave 10.17.17.19

 
To connect the Master / Slave network

  1. Use a network cable to connect the Ethernet ports of the two robot Control Boxes.

  2. Remember to deactivate Modbus, if active, on the robot, as it can interfere with the connection.

  3. On PolyScope, in the Header, hold down Run to access Expert Mode.

  4. Enter the password: lightbot and tap OK.

  5. Under Kinematics calibration, select Dual Robot Calibration.

 

  1. Choose the Master robot and the Slave robot:

    1. On the Master robot, tap Master.

    2. On the Slave robot, tap Slave.

  2. On the Master robot, tap Connect network to establish the network connection.
