ABB Robot Controllers Ethernet Connection

Robot Controllers
1

A PC can be connected to the service channel of ABB robot controllers using the following TCP/IP properties on the PC. The properties below are for S4C+ controllers. For IRC5 controllers the settings are the same except that the subnet mask should be set 255.255.255.0.

ip
ip534×547 7.03 KB

To check that the connection from the PC to the robot controller is working properly, use: ping 192.168.125.81

Files generated by IRBCAM can be transfered to the robot controller by using an FTP client (for example FileZilla). Connect to the ABB controller using the IP address 192.168.125.81, username=abb and password=abb

In order to connect the robot to a network, use the LAN port instead of the service channel. The IP address of the LAN port can be set by:

Service - Restart - 159 - X-Start
Select Network Settings
Select the System
Enter the desired fixed IP address, or select DHCP if you want to receive an IP address from your router
Reboot

Hi Geir,

pc: Ip: 192.168.125.84

robot: IRB 140 S4c controller

lan: ip:192.168.10.93 sub: 255.255.255.000

service: ip:192.168.125.81 sub: 255.255.255.240

on controller there is only one ethernet port so how do i know that is service or LAN?
Ive tried one by one both the address with changing my own pc address but still could not get files.
ive tried ping test and its working for service ip and when i try to connect (FIlezilla/FTP voyger), it could not find directory or system stuck after “List 200 port set okey”

anybody has solution?

Thanks.

Hi Robo and welcome to the forum :waving_hand:

Did you try to set FileZilla in Passive Mode?

  1. Go to Edit → Settings → Connection → FTP.
  2. Under Transfer mode, select Passive.
  3. (Optional but recommended) Check Allow fallback to other transfer modes on failure.
  4. Click OK and reconnect.

Good morning,

FileZilla can not parse the returned “host:” directory. Can you try the following:

  1. Go to File → Site Manager
  2. Select your site (or create one)
  3. Open the Advanced tab
  4. In Default remote directory try this one:
    • /HOME

not working.

i guess im using wrong ip, coz ive one ethernet port and 2 diff ips lan or service and now im using service.
I got connection, i tried ping test and it was pass. but i could not transfer files or see the files on controller.

may be they read and write protected?
should i try lan setting now?

You need a different starting directory than /HOME

Can you find the correct path to your starting directory using the File Explorer on Teach Pendant?
