Connect two UR robots to RoboDK

#1
Hello,

I managed to connect RoboDK to a single UR5e robot and run the programme from computer on the physical robot very well. However, it did not work when the second UR5e was connected to RoboDK (there were two Ethernet cables to connect to each robot separately).

I thought that the issue is: there were two static IP addresses (say 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2) assigned in the PC to each Ethernet. But when I tried to connect both robots, it seems only one of the IP addresses was working, the other Ethernet has be assigned a new and irrelevant IP address so that it actually was ignored. I am not sure if that is the reason. It would be very helpful if you may let me know if it is feasible to connect and run two robots and if yes how to do that properly .

Thank you very much.

Hi Alex,

Yes I could ping both robots successfully. 

The log file of the first robot (IP:192.168.0.2) which can be connected to RoboDK said

''Sending command...

By contrast, the second robot (IP:192.168.0.22) said
''Sending command...
Available local IP addresses (IPv4):
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.7

It seems the right Ethernet IP 192.168.0.7 which connects to the second robot has been ignored.

If I disconnected the Ethernet cable between the first robot and the laptop, the second robot could connect to RoboDK successfully. The log file said

''Available local IP addresses (IPv4):

You should simply change the connection port for the second robot:
  1. Select Connect-Connect Robot
  2. Enter Robot port: 30001 (or any other port, different from the first robot)
