Initial Connection Procedure
Use the procedure below to detect and connect to a robot controller.
1
After starting the ACE software, click the
Connect to Device
item. If the robot controller ap-
pears in the Detected Controller IP Address area, select it and click the
Connect
Button. This
will initiate the online connection process. If no controller appears in this area, proceed to the
next step.
2
To find a robot controller on the Ethernet network, click the
Detect and Configure Robotic
Controller
Button. This will open the Controller IP Address Detection and Configuration Dialog
Box.
In this area, a detected controller's properties can be modified to establish an online connec-
tion.
If a controller is detected but resides on a different LAN and does not have a gateway config-
ured, an online connection is not possible until one of the following actions are taken.
• The detected controller's IP address and / or subnet is changed for compatibility with the
PC's LAN connection. Select the detected controller and change the Desired Properties Ad-
dress, Subnet, and Name accordingly.
• The PC's IP address and LAN connection are changed to be compatible with the controller's
network settings. Adjust the PCs network adapter properties accordingly.
Precautions for Correct Use
If no controller(s) is detected, check the Ethernet network and cables and ensure that a network
connection is available to the robot and the PC.

After the desired robot controller appears with the proper network settings, click the
Connect
Button to establish a connection and complete this procedure.
