Description
1
The scanner fixed to the robot transmits data to the controller (or to the PC with the Riftek Lamia
software installed).
2
Riftek Lamia processes the data in accordance with the selected math algorithm and transmits the
results to the robot controller over the selected protocol.

15.6.4.1. General information
The
Riftek P1

All values are hexadecimal, byte order – from left to right.
After turning on/off the Modbus function, the scanner must be rebooted. The TCP
