Hardware Operation

Powering On the Robot

Before operation, please confirm again that you have read and ensured compliance with the Safety Guidelines content, eliminated potential risks, and ensured operational safety.

Control Box Back Panel Diagram

  1. Insert the robot cable plug into the robot interface of the control box.
  2. Plug the power cord into the control box and connect the power plug to a 220V AC socket.
  3. Ensure that the emergency stop button on top of the control box is in the released state (when the emergency stop button is in the raised state, it is released; when pressed, it is locked).
  4. Turn on the red main power switch on the back panel of the control box; the switch indicator light will illuminate.
  5. Long press (about 3 seconds) the power button on top of the control box or the external power button (optional) until the indicator light on the power button on top of the control box turns solid blue. Wait for the light on the robot's shoulder to turn on, completing the power-on operation for both the control box and the robot.

DANGER

  • Please ensure that the power strip for the control box is properly grounded.
  • Please ensure that the input current of the control box power supply is protected by a leakage protection device and an appropriate overcurrent circuit breaker.
  • Please ensure that all cables are correctly connected before the control box is powered on, and always use the original power cord correctly.

Warning

  • Do not disconnect or forcefully pull the robot cable when the robot is starting.
  • Do not extend or modify the robot cable.
  • Do not damage the power cord or place heavy objects on it.
  • Do not use damaged or non-compliant sockets.
  • Do not allow dust or metal attachments to adhere to the power plug and socket.

Connecting to the Robot

LM3 supports both wired network connection and wireless network connection. Currently, wireless network connection only supports connecting to the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot network of the control box.

Wired Network Connection

As shown in the figure, use a standard network cable (Category 5 or above) to connect the Ethernet interface on the back panel of the control box to the LAN port of a router or switch. At the same time, ensure that the computer, tablet, phone, or other graphical terminal device used to operate the robot is connected to the same network as the robot.

Wired Network Connection Topology

Wireless Network Connection

After the robot leaves the factory, it will by default enable a Wi-Fi hotspot with the device name as its SSID (you can find the device name on the nameplate of the control box). The device name format is like: Lebai-123456 (the last 6 digits are random characters), and the default password is: 88888888 (eight 8s). You can connect to this Wi-Fi hotspot network corresponding to the device name through the Wi-Fi function of your computer, tablet, phone, or other graphical terminal device to connect and control the robot.

Modifying the device nickname in the settings page will change the wireless SSID of the device.
