To interact with the YNX1000 system, you must install the Smart Pendant application on your Android tablet. This APK serves as the primary interface to the robot controller.
Download the APK:
Ensure you have the latest version of the Smart Pendant APK provided by YASKAWA.
Enable Unknown Sources:
In the Android settings of your tablet, allow the installation of applications from unknown sources to permit the manual APK install. This setting can be found in Settings > Apps > Special app access > Install unknown apps
Transfer and Install:
Transfer the APK to the tablet via a USB drive or local network. Then locate the file with the File Manager app and tap the file to begin the installation.
Configure Permissions:
Upon first launch, grant the necessary permissions for network access to allow the tablet to communicate with the robot controller.
For a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough on preparing your device and completing the installation, please refer to the official technical guide:
Installation of Smart Pendant Application for Android
To upgrade the Smart Pendant APK on your Android tablet for the YNX1000 system, you must manually upload a new APK version to the tablet and follow instructions similar to that of the first time install.
Transfer and Launch the Installer:
Confirm the Overwrite:
Android will detect that an older version of the Smart Pendant application is already installed. A prompt will appear asking: "Do you want to install an update to this existing application? Your existing data will not be lost."
Verify the Installation:
Once the process is complete:
Communication Test:
Verify that the tablet can still communicate with the robot controller. You may need to re-verify the IP address settings if the connection is not established automatically.
Safety Function Check:
Test the physical Emergency Stop and Enable Switch on the pendant adapter to ensure the software update has not affected the hardware safety integration.
Servo Status:
Check that the [SERVO] indicator on the screen correctly reflects the state of the controller.
Safety Check:
Always ensure the physical Emergency Stop on the adapter is functional after installing or updating the software.
Servo Status:
Monitor the on-screen status indicators to ensure the state correctly reflects the real world. When the [SERVO] indicator is blue, power is off; when it is green, the robot is energized and capable of motion.
