Language: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Russian are supported.
Note:
1. Chinese is the default language, and other languages need to be officially authorized by ROKAE for use; +2. For xCore V1.7 onwards, the multilingual log is supported (only for "controller logs"). When the HMI switches the language type, the controller will also switch with the language content of the HMI. When the HMI and controller language settings are different, the controller will switch to the language mode corresponding to the HMI when the connection is established. The controller does not need to restart after switching the language. This mode is a hot switching, but some detailed log information only takes effect after switching, and the logs generated before switching the language may not be able to switch to the corresponding language.

Bind IP address: The robot detection function of "Options − Connections" can set whether to perform detection through a fixed PC-side IP here.

Refresh interval: the refresh rate of the 3D display page of status monitoring, with the upper limit is 100 Hz, and the default is 18 Hz.

Turn off the 3D display: Turn off the 3D display for status monitoring, and restart takes effect.

Timeout logout for permissions: After a certain period of inactivity, the logged-in administrator will automatically log out. The default set timeout is 10 minutes; setting this value to 0 disables this feature.

View position parameters: In the RL programming interface, this function allows viewing the point position accuracy parameter. It supports fuzzy queries within an angular range, with a default tolerance of 1°.

IP (only for xPad2): Set the static IP address for the Teach Pendant connected to the robot.

Lock screen (only for xPad2): Reduce the accidental touch of Teach Pendant by unrelated personnel. After turning on this function, if the Teach Pendant is not operated for a period of time (idle time), or after clicking the lock screen shortcut key, the Teach Pendant will enter the lock screen state, similar to the picture below:

Unlock the screen by long pressing the circular button on the lock screen for 3 seconds, or short pressing the lock screen shortcut key again.

Screenshot (only for xPad2): Take a screenshot of the Teach Pendant screen and save it in the Teach Pendant directory. The picture format is JPG.

Cursor displayed or not: Whether the Teach Pendant cursor is set.

Choose a theme: Choose a different display style;

Theme size: Adjust the size of controls and fonts;

Workspace directory: Set the folder to save project files.

Timeout logout for permissions: When there is no activity on the interface for longer than the set timeout period, the user permission will be switched to Operator

Point position accuracy: Set the point position accuracy

Cursor position change prompt switch: It is on by default. After this switch is turned on, a pop-up message will appear when clicking "pptoline" if the cursor position is inconsistent with the lookahead pointer position. Click "Confirm" to execute "pptoline" to the line where the cursor is located; click "Cancel" to stop the "pptoline."

IO and register write prompt: It is on by default. After it is turned on, a pop-up message will appear when modifying the values of the IO or register via the status monitoring page, custom production page, or custom button. Click "Confirm" to modify the values of the IO and register; click "Cancel" to keep the values of the IO and register unchanged.

Jog adaptive mode: It is on by default. When it is turned on, the jog is continuous at speeds above 1%, and step by step at speeds of 1% or below. When it is turned off, the jog is continuous at speeds from 0.1% to 100%.

9.3.2 Teach Pendant mode

When the robot is turned on and used, it may be necessary to disconnect the physical connection between the xPad2 Teach Pendant and the robot. If the physical connection is directly disconnected, the robot will enter an emergency stop state. If you want not to affect the normal operation of the robot, you can follow the following steps.

Step Graphical Representation Explanation

1. The current mode of the Teach Pendant is displayed on this page, which defaults to "Teach Pendant mode". Click the "Switch mode" button to switch to "No Teach Pendant mode". "No Teach Pendant mode" will be displayed on the interface after a successful switch.

  • In the Teach Pendant mode, the Teach Pendant image is colored, and the connector is in a connected state;

  • In the No Teach Pendant mode, the Teach Pendant image is gray, and the connector is in a disconnected state;

2. After switching to "No Teach Pendant mode", the physical connection of the demonstrator xPad2 to the robot can be disconnected. (Refer to the section "Robotic system composition and connections".)

At this time, the robot will not enter an emergency stop state.

To reconnect the Teach Pendant xPad2 to the robot, follow the steps below:

Step Graphical Representation Explanation

1. Establish a physical connection between the Teach Pendant xPad2 and the robot. (Refer to the section "Robotic system composition and connections".)

2. The "No Teach Pendant mode" is currently displayed on this page. Click the "Switch mode" button to switch to "Teach Pendant mode". "Teach Pendant mode" will be displayed on the interface after a successful switch.

  • In the Teach Pendant mode, the Teach Pendant image is colored, and the connector is in a connected state;

  • In the No Teach Pendant mode, the Teach Pendant image is gray, and the connector is in a disconnected state;

  1. The plug & play Teach Pendant function is only available for some models. For models that do not support this function, the system will prompt "Failed to switch Teach Pendant Mode". For detailed model configurations, please consult our technical support.

  2. The Teach Pendant mode is only recommended to be turned on when there is a need to remove the Teach Pendant. It is not recommended to turn on it at will during normal debugging and use.
