PCAN to USB connectivity-JamesK-04-03-2023

Hello,

i am currently working on a project to integrate a robotic arm with ROBODK.

The arm in question has connectivity to the PC via PCAN to USB connector, trialling it with its native software everything runs smoothly.

I am just questioning its capability to connect to ROBODK, does the arm require its own IP address? or is there some literature someone may be able to direct me to where i can make the connection using the USB adapter?

TIA,

Regards
James

We have drivers for the most popular robot brands.
If you build a custom robot you need a custom-made driver for your robot.
As for the USB connection, you need to use the correct com-port number associated with this USB connection (ex. COM6 or another)

You can find more info about drivers here:
