2 Robots monitoring I/O using Modbus

Technical Questions Robot Communication
1

Hi,

I want to setup a communication between two robots using Modbus and monitoring of the I/Os.

I can use the general purpose ports in the registry and then use for example registry 128 to pass values back and forth using URScript. However I can’t get the I/Os to work.

Does anyone have a simple guideline how to get this working? I am running 5.13 on both robots.

Best regards// Karl

@karl, could you provide some screen shots of what you have?
I would refer to Modbus Server - 16377
Make sure you are using the read coils to monitor the correct IO addresses. I found this a bit tricky when I first started using them.
