ROBOGUIDE
The FANUC ROS 2 Driver can control virtual robots in ROBOGUIDE.
ROBOGUIDE’s Plug-Ins and software options
The fanuc_driver works with HandlingPRO without any additional ROBOGUIDE Plug-Ins.
When you create a workcell with a robot, install the required software options into the virtual robot controller.
Select
Create Robot using Robot Creation Wizardwhen creating a workcell.
Select the required software options in the wizard.
Robot Network Configuration
You do not have to configure the network settings of the virtual robot because ROBOGUIDE automatically assigns the port to the localhost of the host computer by default.
If the checkbox “Run virtual robots with loopback address” is checked, uncheck it to make virtual robots visible to the network.
Windows Firewall
You should disable the Windows Firewall to establish a UDP connection.
WSL2 on the Same Windows Machine
Set WSL2’s networkingMode to Mirrored instead of NAT, otherwise, UDP packets sent to ROBOGUIDE on the same machine will be blocked.
CRX’s DI/DO setting
The CRX series uses example_gpio_config.yaml, which assigns DI/DO[101-112]. ROBOGUIDE’s default DI/DO assignment splits the DI/DO indices, causing the GPIO configuration packet to fail.
Please perform the following procedure to avoid this failure:
Display the DO screen from the I/O screen.
Display the DO’s configuration screen.
Delete the assignment for DO[105-144].
Change the assignment range from 104 to 144 so that DO[65-144] are assigned continuously.
Perform the same procedure on the DI screen.
Repower the controller.
