1. Configure the charging pile network
This document describes only the parameter configuration of the CAN-WIFI device module (Zhiyuan CANWIFI-200T) for lithium flat battery charging piles and forklift lithium flat batteries.
Whether the dispatch system (SRD, RDS) is used to achieve automatic charging of forklift trucks or only automatic charging of forklift bicycles, the CAN-wifi module on the charging machine must be configured according to the requirements in this document.
1.1 Preparations for Configuration
Hardware Preparation
Network Cable 1, PC 1 (running Windows)
Configure and test software for the upper computer
CANWIFI-200T Configuration Software (ZNetCom Utility), Network Debugging Assistant NetAssist.exe (Standby)
1.2 Checking Network Segments between PCs and Devices
Before communicating with the CANWIFI-200T device using a PC, make sure that the PC is equipped with an Ethernet card. To communicate with the CANWIFI-200T device using a PC, you must first obtain the device's IP address and other network parameters. Additionally, the PC and CANWIFI-200T device must be on the same network segment.
Note: If you are unsure of the device's IP address, reset the device to its factory settings.
The DEF button (Figure 1) is used to restore the device to its factory settings. To do this, hold down the button for 5-10 seconds and release the SYS indicator when it turns off. The device will automatically restore to its factory settings.
Once you have obtained the device's IP address, go to your PC's operating system and navigate to the local control panel. From there, go to Network Connection (WinXP) or Network and Sharing Center (Win7 and above), then go to Local Connection properties and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (WinXP) or Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP) (Win7) to change the IP address of both the PC and CANWIFI-200T devices to the same network segment.
Once this is done, the PC can communicate with the Can-wifi device (CANWIFI-200T) and be configured.
1.3 Charging pile and robot are connected to the same network SSID
Use network cables to connect the LAN port of the device to the network port of the PC. Ensure that only network cables are connected during device configuration. After powering on the charging pile/forklift truck, turn on the power switch and start the equipment. Right - click Configuration software ZNetCom Utility to run the software as administrator.
Search for devices: Click "OK" to start searching for devices. If you cannot search for a device by using the search device function, click the "Specify Search" button on the toolbar and enter CAN-WIFI device IP to search for a device. The current IP address of the demo device is 192.168.0.178.
In the search window, you can view the searched device, MAC address, and IP address. The search window automatically closes after 10 seconds, or users can click the "Close" button to make it close.
When the search is complete, the searched device will appear in the ZNetCom software's device list.
Double-click the "Get Information" button in the device list or the "Refresh" button in the property bar to obtain device information.
When the "Get Device Information" dialog box disappears, users can see the CANWiFi-200T device configuration information in the left property bar.
At this point, the PC has successfully connected with CAN-WIFI device (CANWIFI-200T), and read/change the parameters of CAN-WIFI device (CANWIFI-200T).
Modify device parameters in the left property bar. You CAN only modify CAN0 configuration for CAN configuration (The device supports two ports, and the CAN0 port is used for electrical connection). The 192.168.3 network segment is shown in the following figure
Current Password | Enter the password. The initial password is '88888'. If you do not enter the password, the parameter cannot be written. |
|---|---|
Device IP | Set the IP address of the device, which belongs to the same network segment as the dispatching system server and belongs to the unique network segment of the WIFI to be connected. |
Subnet Mask of the Device | Set the subnet mask. |
Device Gateway IP | Set a gateway. |
DNS | Set DNS. |
IP Obtaining Mode | Set the obtaining IP address mode to "static obtaining". |
WIFI Name | Enter the name of the WIFI to be connected. |
Encryption Mode | Enter the encryption mode of the WIFI to be connected. |
WIFI Password | Enter the password of the WIFI you want to connect to. |
Frequency Band | Enter the frequency band of the WIFI to be connected. |
2.4G/5G Channel | Enter the WIFI channel to be connected. |
Wireless Mode | Set wireless mode to Station. |
TCP Mode | Set TCP working mode to 'TCP SERVER'. |
Working Port (Connecting Port) | Set the CAN communication port to '4001'. |
Error Notification Port | Set CAN communication error notification port to '5001'. |
CAN0 Baud Rate (kbps) | Set the CAN baud rate to '250'. |
Subcontract Frame Number | Set subcontract frame number to '1'. |
Subcontracting Interval | Set the subcontracting interval to '1'. |
Once the settings have been completed, click on Submit Changes to save the data to the device. This is illustrated in Figure 11. At this stage, the configuration process is complete. Please disconnect the network cable and restart the charging station.
Note:
The device's IP address should belong to the same network segment as the WIFI to be connected, and should be on the same network as the robot and the scheduling system server. Please note that X.X.X.0 or x.x.255 cannot be entered as the device's IP address. The device's IP address is unique on the same network and is specified by a network device such as a PC or CANWiFi-200T.
2. Set the encryption mode to WPA/WPA2.
3. Enter the device's IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS, and WIFI information based on site requirements.
4. If you do not enter the [current password], the change will fail.
5. It is normal to see a CAN communication timeout displayed on the charging station interface after the configuration is complete. Please test the connection successfully with the dispatching system.
2. Configure charging pile identification files
Step 1: [Identify files] > [Pull all].
Step 2: Select [chargespot], click [fork], and fill in the [IP] and [port] of the charging station according to the actual configuration.
3. Configure the model file
Step 1: Navigate to [Robot Model] > [Charger] and modify the [Charge Start Time] to [40] seconds.
4. Set the CP point
Step 1: Determine the CP point based on the charging pile location, select the model file, and choose [fork.chargerspot]. Set [Angle] according to the actual location of the charging pile and charging route. Check the front point [LM47], which should be approximately 0.5m away.
Step 2: Set [forward/backward] based on the actual position of the charging pile and charging route. Both directions should be set.
Step 3: Use [Road Jin navigation] to reach the CP point and begin automatic charging.
