2.5 Connection types

Data communication between pc and robot controller for exchanging data or for remote con-
trol is possible by using d ifferent communication channels.
Serial communication
For serial communication an appropriate cable is necessary. MotoAdmin package contains
such a cable which is a standard null modem cable with 9pin female connectors on both sides.
To connect robot and pc attach one end of the cable to a RS232 port of your pc, the other end
of the cable connect to the serial port of robot controller. In case of XRC it is not possible to
use RS232 port of Teachbox .
Ethernet communication
XRC robot controllers are not delivered with an Ethernet interface by default. Therefore to
use Ethernet communication with XRC an additional extension board must be ordered. For
installation of this board refer to „YASNAC XRC Ethernet I/F Board Instructions". NX100
and DX100 controllers are always equipped with an Ethernet port.
Also PC system needs to have an Ethernet interface. Connection between PC and controller is
established by using standard Ethernet hardware.
