Chapter 5. Connecting the IRC5 and IPC
Forge/O must communicate with the ABB controller. In this section, you connect the IPC and robot controller using a
Cat5e OTP Ethernet cable.
1. Find a Cat5e OTP Ethernet cable long enough to reach from the IPC to the ABB controller.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the IPC and the other end into port X6 (WAN) on the IRC5.
