DCM settings

Parameter Value Description
Modbus TCP interface ON/OFF Enables or disables the Modbus TCP fieldbus interface used for the communication between the welding equipment and the robot.
DCM IP address E.g. 192.168.127.250
IP address of the DCM.
Note that the DCM IP address used by the fieldbus converter is 192.168.127.250 (refer to Connecting fieldbus converter (optional)).
Subnet mask 0.0.0.0 ... 255.255.255.255
Default = 255.255.255.0
DCM subnet mask.
Gateway E.g. 192.168.127.1 IPv4 address of the gateway (if used).
Watchdog timeout 0 ... 65535 ms
Default = 0 (OFF)
When the watchdog timeout is set, the robot must toggle the watchdog control bit between states 1 and 0 continuously when the robot control mode is enabled. If the robot stops toggling, a watchdog timeout occurs, and the welding system stops and gives a watchdog error.
