Connection Modes

SKR allows two connection modes, the Control Mode and the Sniffer Mode. In both modes the SKR and a PC are needed. PC must have the Robot Control previously installed (download at www.jbctools.com/jbcsoftware.html).

Control Mode: This mode is used to command/get answered communications frames, which are sent between the PC and the JBC Device.
Sniffer Mode: This mode is used to intercept the communication frames sent/answered between the Robot/PLC and the JBC Device. This mode also facilitates the debugging of the Robot Control software by Frame decoding and visualization in real time.

Assembly: Control Mode

Connect the PC and SKR using the USB A/B Cable.
Connect the JBC Device and SKR using the Communications Cable.
Connect SKR to the mains connection with the power supply cable. Blue LED indicates that the connection to the mains is established.
The Push Button allows switching on/off the JBC Device by pushing it.

When communications frames between PC and JBC Device are sent/answered, then the green LEDs will flash.

Assembly: Sniffer Mode

Disconnect the Communicatrions Cable from the JBC Device and connect it to SKR’s Communications Connector (male).
Connect the JBC Device and SKR using the Communications Cable included.
Connect de PC and SKR using the USB A/B Cable.
Connect SKR to the mains connection with the power supply cable. Blue LED indicates that the connection to he mains is established.
When communications frames between PC and JBC Device are sent/answered, then the green LEDs will flash.
