Brief Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

TM Operator API is a service TM Robot provide for developer to build Robot Operator with the programming language and develop platform they are most familiar with for multiple purpose.
\nIn this demo, we are using the API to build an UI for TM Palletizing Operator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TM Palletizing Operator Quick Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

TM Palletizing Operator is an integrated platform and a stand-along product provided by TM as figure below. It\u2019s developed for palletizing application including necessary components and easy to use. A TM flow project and necessary setting are preloaded on the robot.<\/p>\n

Hardware Preparation<\/h4>\n

Since this Demo is designed for TM Palletizing Operator, you will need all the hardware included in TM Palletizing Operator, and one extra IPC to run all other software demo needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Software Preparation on PC<\/h4>\n

All Software Below needed to be downloaded and installed to the default folder path. Changing the installation path may cause abnormal behavior of the demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Robot and PC Connection<\/h4>\n

Please connect the IPC directly with Robot controller through Ethernet cable, then restart Modbus of Robot by clicking disable, then enable.(TMflow=>Setting=>Connection)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By that, you will have the IP set for robot and IPC. Robot IP could be seen on TMflow. (If robot IP is still 127.0.0.1, means Modbus connection is not properly opened, please restart Modbus again.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

IPC’s IP could be checked from cmd command: ipconfig.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PC Share Folder Setting<\/h4>\n

Since we have to import txt file from IPC to robot, we will have to setup a share folder.<\/p>\n

First on IPC, set following folder: C:\\Techman Robot\\TMstudio as share folder. Right Click on Folder=>Give access to=>Specific people…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on Drop down box and select Everyone, then click Add to add Everyone to the list.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robot Share Folder Setting<\/h4>\n

Since we will need to import file generated from TMstudio to TMflow while executing the Palletizing Operator UI, share folder information need to be set in TMflow.(TMflow=>Setting=>Network Service) Please set UNC as your IPC’s share folder path, user name and password as IPC’s login information.<\/p>\n
