Starting the G-code import service application

INFORMATION

Make sure that the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER that wants to use the G-code import can reach the import computer in the network and that the configured port is enabled for the TCP protocol. The port can be specified as an argument via -port:x when calling the application ("x" stands for the port number). The default port number is TCP 2392. If you want to use a different port, select a number from the range of dynamic/private port numbers (49152 – 65535). If several robot instances should use the G-code import, the import service must be started separately for each instance with its own port number.

To start the G-code import service application on the import computer, proceed as follows:

  1. Install the RobotMonitor (desktop or panel version).
    • The GCodeImportService.exe application is located in the RobotMonitor installation directory (default path: C:\Programs (x86)\SEW\MOVIKIT Robotics Monitor (+ version number)).
  2. Start the application on the import computer by double-clicking it. INFORMATION: Alternatively, you can start the application, for example, via your operating system's autostart manager.
    • The G-code import service now provides its services for the IEC function block without further configuration.
    • The IEC function block for G-code import can now connect to the import service.
  3. To exit the application, type exit in the console window or close the program via "x".
