Setup for VIPA I/O Expansion Kit & Robot Controller
These instructions will be used to configure a VIPA I/O Expansion Kit on a Smart Series system.
Mount VIPA Kit
1. To mount/demount the EtherNet/IP coupler, use the locking levers on top of the bus
coupler. Turn the levers upwards until they engage. Next, mount the coupler on the DIN
rail. Finally, secure the coupler to the DIN rail by pushing the locking levers downward.
2. Next, mount the periphery modules included in your kit. First, remove the cover on the
right side of the bus coupler by pulling it forward.
Open the locking levers and slide each module in the slotted grooves as shown below.
Once the module is in place (check grooves and DIN rail), use the locking lever to
complete its mounting. Repeat for this process for all periphery modules.
3. Once the entire kit is mounted, re-mount the cover removed in Step 1 to the end of the
configuration to protect the backplane bus connectors.

Power VIPA Kit
Terminals with spring clamp technology are used for wiring SLIO modules. This vibration proof
technology allows for quick and easy connection of your signal and supply lines.
1. Insert a screwdriver at an angle into the square opening as shown above.
Press and hold the screwdriver in the opposite direction to open the
contact spring.
2. Insert the stripped end of wire into the round opening. Use wires with
cross section 0.08 to 1.5mm2
3. By removing the screwdriver, the wire is securely fixed via the spring
contact to the terminal.
Use the following diagram to connect power to the EtherNet/IP bus coupler.
Note: For most applications, terminals 2 & 4 above will be connected to the same terminals from
the external power supply. The same applies for terminals 3 & 8.

Network Configuration
The VIPA expansion kit should be connected to the YRC controller through one of the Ethernet
ports on 053-1IP01. A PC can also be connected to configure the VIPA kit using its web server.
See network configurations for both the YRC1000micro and YRC1000 controllers below:
Configure VIPA IP Address
The IP address of the EtherNet/IP bus coupler is determined by physical “address switches”.
On delivery, all switches are in the “0” position and the factory default settings are:
• IP address: 192.168.1.2
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

If the default address “192.168.1.2” is not available (i.e. conflicting with another device with this
address), the fourth octet of the IP Address can be changed using the address switches on the
Interface Module. For example, turning switches 2, 4, & 6 to ON would change the address to
“192.168.1.21” (i.e. 1+4+16). See the switch positions in the figure below:
VIPA Web Server
To access the VIPA web server, address switch 8 labeled “WEB”
must be switched to the “1” position to enable its functionality.
Also, a PC must be connected via a networking cable (see
previous section).
The web server can be opened from any browser. The server is
built dynamically and will display the number of modules connected
to the EtherNet/IP coupler.
The web server can be broken into the following 3 categories:
1. Module list: EtherNet/IP coupler and system SLIO modules
listed in order of installation
2. Tab bar with available functions for the module selected in 1)
3. Information corresponding to the tab selected in 2)
If the VIPA kit needs to be configured on a network outside of 192.168.1.x, this can be changed
from the IP tab of the web server. For example, the following figure shows changing the IP
Address to “10.7.3.56”.

Note: after editing the IP address, physical address switches 1 to 7 must be reset to “0”
to avoid overwriting the IP address entered in the web server.
Ping both the VIPA kit and the YRC Controller from a PC to verify communication has been
established using the custom IP configuration.
Additional information about other functions supported by the web server is available in
the manual 053-1IP01 (Chapter 4.5 Web server).

Configure Yaskawa Robot Controller
This section provides the steps require to configure the YRC Controller for successful
communication with a VIPA Smart Series I/O kit. VIPA 099-1IP20 is used as an example in this
guide - similar steps should be followed for other VIPA kits.
1. Determine configuration of VIPA kit using web server
Use the VIPA web server to determine EtherNet/IP information required by the YRC
controller.
Connect to the web server by entering its IP Address into a web browser on the same
network as the device (e.g. “http://192.168.1.2”). Verify “Total Width” for Input and
Output data by selecting the Interface Module “Device” at the top of the tree on the left
and navigating to the “Data” tab shown below.
For VIPA 099-1IP20, both the Input Size and Output Size read 2 bytes. These values
will be used to populate EtherNet/IP settings in the YRC Controller.
Note: 1 byte must be added to the “Input Total Width” reported by the web server for
communication between the VIPA kit and YRC controller to work properly.
