Good afternoon,

I wabted to ask about how I can get the IP address to be able to make a python socket connection. In the info it shows that the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and that the network is deactivated.  
Thank you for your time!

Hi!

you need to set the robot ip address: burger button → settings-\> system → network → select static address

here you will set robot’s ip, subnet mask and gateway

then you need to get to the installation tab → fieldbus → ethernet ip and press on enable.

to check if the configuration is working, put yourself in the same network of the robot and ping it  
in this way you will be able to connect to the robot
