Transforming Robot Controllers into Switches

1. The ABB robot controller has several network ports defined as follows:

2. Several network ports within the Private Network essentially act as different ports of a switch.

3. The default LAN3 port is isolated, as shown below. At this time, you can configure an IP for the LAN3 port in the IP settings.

4. You can also configure the LAN3 port as part of the Private network, as shown below,

Open Control Panel – Configuration – Theme Communication – Static VLAN – X5, set the Interface to LAN (default is LAN3)

At this time, both LAN2 and LAN3 can act as different ports of a switch.

Since Service, LAN1, LAN2, and LAN3 are all part of the Private network, they essentially function as different ports of a switch. You can also connect the PC’s network cable to LAN3 or LAN2 and connect to the robot through RobotStudio (the connected robot IP is 192.168.125.1). If you configure PROFINET or Ethernet/IP associated with the PRIVATE label, you can treat the robot as a node on the ring network using the LAN2 to LAN3 connection.

Note!!!!!!!

The PRIVATE networks of two robots cannot interconnect!!!!
