Connecting To The Robot; Robots Connected And Types Of Communication - Mitsubishi Electric MELFA FR CR800 Series User Manual

9. Connecting to the Robot

This explains the method for connecting the robot controller and the computer.
With this software, you must make the communication settings for each project.
Caution
Do not pull out the cable during communication.
Please never pull out the cable during communication with the robot controller. If the
communication cable is removed during communication, the status of the robot controller or the
computer might become abnormal. Please remove the cable when the status is not "Online" or this
software has been exited.
Also when communicating by USB, do not pull out the USB cable until
communication is completed.

9.1. Robots Connected and Types of Communication

Connecting the robot controller and computer can be done by the following methods. Be aware that the available
connection method is restricted according to the connected robot controller.

Remarks
Commercial items such as computers and cables
might be incompatible with our equipment or
unsuitable for the FA environment such as
temperature, noise, etc.
When using, please fully confirm operation as
measures against noise such as EMI measure or
addition of ferrite core may be needed.
CRnD-700 only
Connect via a CR800-D/CR750-D/CRnD-700
series controller connected with the GOT via
Ethernet by USB / RS-232.
A GOT 1000 series
communication unit (GT15-J1E71-100) are needed.
The PLC RCPU, Ethernet interface module or
Built-in Ethernet port QCPU is required.
Only can be used for CR800-R/CR800-Q
The robot controller must have an "Ethernet
interface" option.
