1.2 Safety

WARNING:We strictly prohibit installation or operation of

our robots without adequate safeguards according to applic-

able local and national standards. See Typical Workcell Lay-

out on page 4 for a simple workcell layout.

1.3 Workcell Layout

You must read the Robot Installation and Operation chapters in the Cobra 350 Robot User's

Guide for information on safe operation of your robot system, and the Robot Safety Guide.

Refer to Installing User-Supplied Safety Equipment in the System Installation chapter of the

Cobra 350 Robot User's Guide, which provides details on connecting a user-designed E-Stop sys-

tem to the XUSR connector on the robot.

1.4 Installing the Robot

Rotate the robot outer arm before removing the shipping bolts from the pallet. This will help

prevent the robot from tipping over. Use two people to lift the robot. See the following figure.

Mounting the Robot

Mount the robot to a rigid surface that will prevent vibration and flexing during operation. We

recommend a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate, mounted to a rigid steel tube frame. See the fol-

lowing figure for the mounting hole dimensions.

1.6 Configuration

The user-supplied PLC and the Cobra ePLC350 robot are connected either through a shared

network or via a user-supplied Ethernet cable.

When the Cobra ePLC350 robot is powered on and waiting for a PLC connection, the eMB-40R

status panel will display its IP address, two digits at a time.

The format will be:

IP xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx OK

Cobra ePLC350 Quick Setup Guide, 13590-000 Rev D

Page 9 of 14

1.6 Configuration

NOTE:If you can use the eMB-40R’s default IP address, then you can skip the ACE

software installation completely.

Installing ACE Software

ACE is used to change the IP address of the robot and for troubleshooting. You install the ACE

software onto your PC from the ACE disk.

NOTE:You will have to restart the PC after installing ACE software.

Setting the Robot IP Address

Configure the IP address of the Cobra ePLC350 robot using ACE software.

1. Connect the PC and the eMB-40R, either through a shared network or with an Ethernet

cable between them.

2. Start the ACE software.

3. Click the Detect and Configure button, circled in the following figure.

Figure 1-6. Detect and Configure Button

The IP address detection and configuration window will open. The ACE software will show

the IP address of any controllers it detects. See the following figure.
