10.10 xPanel settings
xPanel settings are available to set the mode of the robot’s end-effector, which is only applicable to the xMate CR and SR collaborative robots.
On the HMI main interface, you can enter the xPanel settings interface through the menu "Communication" -> "xPanel settings", as shown in the following figure:
The parameters that can be set are shown in the table below:
| Parameters | Explanation |
|---|---|
External power supply mode |
Set the external power supply mode at the end |
Analog input or RS485 mode selection |
Choose to use analog input or RS485 serial port at the end |
Digital output DO0 mode |
Set the corresponding terminal DO output to NPN or PNP mode |
Digital output DO1 mode |
Set the corresponding terminal DO output to NPN or PNP mode |
Analog input AI0 mode |
Set the corresponding analog input to voltage or current type |
Analog input AI1 mode |
Set the corresponding analog input to voltage or current type |
After setting the required parameters, click the "OK" button, and the settings will take effect.
Note: The voltage or current type of the external analog input signal should be consistent with the corresponding analog input mode, otherwise, unexpected errors may be caused.
Baud rate: Set the baud rate of the end, with optional values of 115200/9600/19200/38400/57600/230400/460800.
Stop bit: Set the number of stop bits for the end, with options: 1 bit/2 bits.
Parity bit: Set the parity bit for the terminal, with options: None/Odd Parity/Even Parity.
Timeout: Set the data reception timeout for the end, with values ranging from 50 to 10000, in milliseconds (ms).
After setting the parameters, click the "OK" button, and the settings will take effect.
