The use of these parameters is described below.
The editing of these parameters is described in
Configuration
The exchange of information between the trolley and the programmer is bi-directional through infrared rays. It is possible to use more than one robot on the same rail or in the same environment. Each trolley must interact only with its own programmer, without receiving commands from other programmers. For this reason the robots use different transmission and receiving codes called 1 (default), 2, 3 etc, up to 16. The programmer must therefore have the same infrared code number as the trolley with which it has to communicate.
This code is defined by the Robot Number parameter for the programmer.
To codify the trolleys, refer to the following procedure:
in the top part of the manual command, button
bottom left and
bottom right, and switch on.
pressed and press button
(as if it were the memorization of the X axis) for the number of times that matches the number to be assigned to the trolley.
is pressed the Robot will emit a 'Beep' to confirm that the key was pressed.
pressed, press button
once (as if it were the memorization of the Y axis) to memorize the new number.
The trolley, will emit a long 'Beep' (about a second) during the memorization phase, it will then emit a number of short 'Beeps' equal to the trolley number memorized.
Restart Program
After running
the Restart procedure,
the trolley could be in a position that is not compatible with the first instruction of the program that we want to execute.
If for example the first instruction was a translation to the right and the arm is at the bottom of a tank, it is clear that this instruction could not be executed.
Through the parameter 'Restart program (0=No 1=Yes)', it is possible to specify the behavior after a Restart procedure of the programmer: The programmer will run the restart program (Prg 65) or wait until the work program is selected.
If 0=No was specified for the Restart program,
the display will show:
Warning!!! Restart
Prg == Stop
If 1=Yes was specified, the programmer will run program Prg 65. There are two different cases:
| Prg 65 absent: press [EDIT] or [EXIT] Prg ==→65 Spd 1 Stop |
| Prg 65 Prg 65 Stop |
At this point you can choose:
'1' shows that the access to editing is subject to a higher level password,
'0' shows that the access to editing is only conditioned to the normal password, provided it is enabled.
Number of outputs
It specifies the number of physical outputs available:
Specify 16 if you don’t have input/output expansion modules or a higher number, multiple of 8, if you have.
If a number that it is not a multiple of 8 is specified, the programmer will accept it but it will consider the next higher multiple number of 8:
for example, keying in 18, the programmer will assume value 24.
Number of inputs
It specifies the number of physical inputs available:
Specify 16 if you don’t have input/output expansion modules or a higher number, multiple of 8, if you have.
If a number that it is not a multiple of 8 is specified, the programmer will accept it but it will consider the next higher multiple number of 8:
for example, keying in 18, the programmer will assume value 24.
Run/Stop Output
Specify the number of the output to be affected.
The output will be activated in mode Run and inactivated in all other modes (StandBy, Step, Stop).
It can be used to accumulate the time of operation/standstill while the machine is switched on.
