INTRODUCTION

The Kawasaki robot system supports Cartesian coordinate motion which includes: Base (world) coordinates Tool coordinates

These coordinate systems can be used when manually operating the robot in the teach mode and with various program instructions for shifting program positional data, defining tool center points, and recording positional data. Kawasaki robot systems use the left-hand rule to determine the orientation of the base or tool coordinate system. For additional information about the left-hand rule, refer to section 6.2.1.

1.4 ROBOT CONTROLLER MAIN CIRCUITRY OVERVIEW This section provides general information on the C-series controller main circuitry. For additional information, refer to the C Series Controller Electrical Maintenance Manual unit 6, Printed Circuit Boards. The Kawasaki C-series controller circuit board block diagram shown in figure 1-10 illustrates the major printed circuit boards inside of the controller. 1.4.1 1HA BOARD The 1HA board is the main central processing unit (CPU) board in the C-series controller, and is equipped with a 32 bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor running at 166 MHz. Features include: AS system software and servo system software are stored in flash memory User programs and system configuration data reside in battery backed static random access memory (SRAM) The standard 1 MB SRAM is expandable to 4 MB

A super capacitor on the 1HA board provides approximately 30 minutes of memory backup when the board is removed from the card rack. When the board is reinstalled, the super capacitor is recharged by the 3.6 volt lithium batteries plugged into the 1HZ motherboard. The 1HA board processes the data needed for the execution of the AS software, operation planning, servo position loop operations, coordinate conversions, path planning, and detection of abnormal +5 VDC, 12 VDC and +12 VDC levels. The 1HA board communicates with the 1GB servo board, 1HP power circuit control board, 1GW I/O board(s), 1GS explosion-proof teach pendant interface board, optional boards for vision, or analog input (IP), multi function panel, and any external equipment such as a personal computer, or a floppy disk drive. 1.4.2 1GB BOARD The 1GB board is the servo CPU. The standard 1GB board is equipped with two RISC processors that control six axes. The optional 1GB board is equipped with a third RISC processor to control a seventh robot axis and allow a conveyor input for line tracking. The 1GB board receives path data from the 1HA board, encoder data from the robot axes and conveyor, and current data from the current detect modules, to generate the pulse width modulation (PWM) signals that are sent to the intelligent power modules (IPMs) located on the power block. The IPMs, in turn, allow current to flow through the 1-14 April 8, 2002

three-phase servo motor windings and produce motor rotation. A 1GM board is attached to the 1GB board to provide an interface for the current sensors. In addition, the 1GB board also controls servo motor brake functions, overtravel limit switch signal processing, and servo system error processing. 1.4.3 1GC/1GD BOARDS The 1GC or 1GD board is the servo system power block. The 1GC board is used for robots with payload capacities of 30 kg or more and the 1GD board is used for robots with payload capacities lower than 30 kg. The power block is comprised of two sections: the power unit and the amplifier. The power unit section rectifies and filters three-phase AC power for use by the servo motors, monitors DC voltage levels, controls regenerative voltage levels, and reports voltage level and regenerative resistor circuit errors. The amplifier section receives PWM signals from the 1GB board. The PWM signals are used by the IPMs to control current flow through the servo motor windings. Current detect modules are used to send current level data back to the 1GB board to indicate robot load. The amplifier section also incorporates various protective functions that are monitored by the 1GB board. 1.4.4 1HP BOARD The 1HP board controls the power up sequence of the controller and serial communication for the multi function panel or small teach pendant 1HA and 1GB board. In addition, the 1HP board powers down the controller if an abnormality of the +/-12 VDC, +5 VDC, or 24 VDC levels exists. 1.4.5 1GW BOARD The 1GW board is a parallel I/O board providing 32 input channels and 32 output channels including dedicated signals. An optional 1GW board is available that provides two channels of analog output in addition to the 32 parallel input/output channels. Up to four 1GW boards can be installed in the C controller for a total of 128 inputs and outputs and four channels of analog output. 1.4.6 1GS SERIAL INTERFACE The 1GS board is the EP type TP to 1HA serial interface board. This is an IP board that mounts directly to the 1HA board.

NOTE
The 1LU, 1LW, and 1LT components are located in the EP type C controller explosion-proof unit.

1.4.7 1LU EXPLOSION-PROOF BARRIER The 1LU explosion-proof barrier board, located in the explosion-proof unit, is one of the controllers main explosion-proof components. The 1LU board, in conjunction with the encoder barrier modules on the 1LU board, provides the 1GB board/encoder interface. The JT1 through JT6 encoder barrier modules provide intrinsic safety for the encoder transmit/receive circuit. In addition to encoder data, the 1LU board routes +6 VDC from the encoder power supply to the encoder barrier modules. The encoder barrier modules regulate the +6 VDC to +5 VDC for the encoder logic circuits. The 1LU board relay interlock circuit, through the zener barriers ZB1ZB4, provides the interface for the pressure switches, flow meters, purge valve solenoids, and limit switches. The zener barriers provide the intrinsically safe portion of the interface. The relay interlock circuit controls +24 VDC to the brakes, motor thermal switch circuit, interlock, emergency stop signals to the 1HP board, and the encoder power supply control relay. 1.4.8 1LW ENCODER BARRIER MODULE 1LW board is mounted inside the encoder barrier module. The encoder barrier module is mounted on the 1LU board inside the explosion-proof unit. The barrier is coupled with the explosion-proof encoders to provide intrinsically safe conditions when the internal pressure of the robot arm drops. (Pressurized state is maintained during normal conditions.) 1.4.9 1LT E-STOP DISTRIBUTION 1LT board is mounted on the explosion-proof teach pendant barrier unit box inside the explosion-proof unit. The 1LT board distributes emergency stop signals and relays enabling device status and explosion-proof teach pendant input.

1.5 EXPLOSION-PROOF C CONTROLLER DIGITAL SERVO CONTROL OVERVIEW This section provides general information on the operation of the digital servo drive system. For additional information, refer to the C Series Controller Electrical Maintenance Manual unit 7, Servo System. There are four major components in the C controller servo drive system: Power block assembly 1GB board and servo software AC servo motor assembly Hybrid encoder assembly

The 1GB board receives path data from the 1HA board, encoder data from the robot axes and conveyor, and load data from the current detect modules. The servo software uses these signals to calculate and produce a digital command signal. The command signal is combined with a triangular wave reference signal to determine the sampling rate of the command signal and to generate the PWM (pulse width modulation) signals that are sent to the IPMs (intelligent power modules) located on the power block. A PWM signal is a pulsed signal with a width or duration that is changed proportionally to motor demands. For example, when the motor starts from a stopped condition, the width of the PWM signals are very wide in order to overcome inertia, in comparison to the PWM signals required to sustain motor velocity. The power block is comprised of two sections: the power unit and the amplifier. The power unit receives 210 VAC/60Hz input power from the main transformer assembly. This voltage is filtered and rectified to provide 300 VDC to the IPMs. The amplifier section receives the PWM signals from the 1GB board. The PWM signals are used by the IPMs to control current flow through the servo motor windings. The IPMs use six insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) arranged in pairs, with each pair connected to a specific motor winding. When the IGBTs are gated by the PWM signals, current flows through the U, V, and W phases of the AC servo motor causing motor rotation. Current detect modules located on the power block provide feedback to indicate the current levels of the U and V phases. Signals from the modules are sent to the 1GB board where they are used to calculate the W phase current, determine torque requirements, and detect overcurrent errors and current limiter conditions that could damage the servo motor and power block.

SAFETY

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

Before initiating robot motion, ensure that ALL personnel are clear of the safeguarded space and know how the robot will perform when motion is initiated. Before operating the robot, ensure the work area is free of tools, lubricants, cleaning equipment, and debris. If unsafe working conditions are observed, IMMEDIATELY report them to the supervisor or facility safety coordinator. ALL robot operators must be able to identify, by name and function, ALL switches, control devices, and signals that initiate robot motion. NEVER defeat, render useless, jumper out, or bypass any mechanical or electrical safety device. To ensure personnel safety, ALL safety devices approved for use in the facility must be properly installed and maintained. During robot operation, NEVER attempt to stop or brake the mechanical unit with a part of your body. Use E-stop switches to stop mechanical unit motion in emergency situations ONLY. During automatic operation, NEVER enter the safeguarded space.

SAFETY 2.3.2 SAFETY DURING OPERATION

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

Before operating the robot, know the boundaries of the restricted space. ALWAYS keep the work area clean and free of debris which includes, but is not limited to, oil, water, tools, and electronic test equipment. Because the teach pendant has provisions to protect the operator during teaching operations, the ONLY person allowed in the safeguarded space is the person operating the teach pendant. Teach pendant safety provisions include an E-stop switch and enabling device. Before performing teach operations, ALWAYS have a planned retreat path. NEVER block the operators retreat path. AVOID trap points.

2.3.3 SAFETY DURING PROGRAMMING Before operating the robot, know the boundaries of the restricted space. Because the teach pendant has provisions to protect the operator during teaching operations, the ONLY person allowed in the safeguarded space is the person operating the teach pendant. Teach pendant safety provisions include an E-stop switch and enabling device. AVOID trap points. Before operating the robot in point-to-point mode, the operator must be COMPLETELY clear of the safeguarded space. During point-to-point playback operations, the robot has information about its present location and the next point to which it is programmed to move. If an object lies between these two points, the robot will impact the object. Playback accuracy and speed affect path coordinate geometry. When changing program accuracy or speed, ALWAYS test a program in the point-to-point mode, or at a slow speed, before performing continuous path operation in the repeat mode. For a newly created program, before performing high-speed playback operation in the repeat mode, ALWAYS run the new program in the point-to-point mode, or at a slow speed.

4.3 METHODS FOR STOPPING THE ROBOT

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

POWER ON/OFF PROCEDURES

Three methods can be used to stop robot motion. Each of these methods is described in the following sections. 4.3.1 EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH When the EMERGENCY STOP switch is pressed, motor power is turned off and the brakes are applied stopping the robot immediately. This places very high loads upon the robot and is only recommended for emergency situations. To stop the robot during nonemergency situations refer to section 4.3.2, HOLD/RUN SWITCH. 4.3.2 HOLD/RUN SWITCH When the HOLD/RUN switch is turned to the HOLD position the robot decelerates smoothly to a stop and the brakes are applied. This places the robot into a temporary stop condition. The motor power lamp turns OFF and the CYCLE START lamp remains ON. When the HOLD/RUN switch is again turned to the RUN position the robot continues the motion it had been executing prior to HOLD. To create a permanent stop condition, press the EMERGENCY STOP switch or turn the TEACH/REPEAT switch to the TEACH position (the CYCLE START and MOTOR POWER indicator lamps turn off in either case). 4.3.3 TEACH/REPEAT SWITCH When the TEACH/REPEAT switch is turned to the TEACH position motor power is turned off and the brakes are applied stopping the robot immediately. This places very high loads upon the robot and is only recommended for emergency situations. To stop the robot during non-emergency situations refer to section 4.3.2, HOLD/RUN SWITCH.

6.2.1 MANUAL OPERATION COORDINATE SYSTEMS The robot moves differently according to the selected coordinate system. A good understanding of the coordinate systems is necessary before proceeding with manual operations. Table 6-1 provides an explanation of each coordinate system.

Table 6-1 Coordinate Systems


Coordinate System Explanation Moves the gun parallel to the Car tesian coordinate system in base coordinates. The tool center point (TCP) is moved in a straight line at a constant speed and gun orientation is maintained (see tables 6-4 and 6-5). Moves the gun parallel to the Car tesian coordinate system in base coordinates. Wrist joints (JT4, JT5, and JT6) are used to compensate for a singularity condition. The gun orientation is not necessarily maintained (see tables 6-4 and 6-5). Moves each axis independently (see tables 6-2 and 6-3). Moves the robot parallel to the tool coordinate system based on the gun orientation. The gun is the last gun designated by the gun selection instruction (see table 6-8). This mode provides linear operation in base or tool coordinates (see tables 6-6 and 6-7).

JOGGING OPERATION

An easy way to determine the orientation and direction of the base coordinate system is illustrated by the left-hand rule, shown in figure 6-2. When using the left-hand rule, orient your left hand so that your arm represents the cables entering the base of the robot. From this orientation the middle finger, held 90 degrees from the arm points in the positive X direction. The extended index finger points in the positive Y direction and the extended thumb points in the positive Z direction.

The SMOOTH range specifies the distance from the program points that the robot path changes trajectory. The larger the SMOOTH range value the earlier the robot starts movement to the following program point. When the smooth range value is set high enough, the moves are blended into one smooth transition from one point to the next point. When the smooth range value is set to 1 mm the robot hesitates at the program point, then moves to the next program point. The default setting is 1 mm. The SMOOTH and ACCELERATION instructions are effective until another SMOOTH or ACCELERATION instruction is executed.

The combination of interpolation and point type must be correct or the data is not accepted. XYZ1: During a XYZ1 move, the TCP is moved in a straight line at a constant speed and gun orientation is maintained. During a XYZ1 move, if JT2 and JT3 align in a straight position, or if JT5 moves to the 0 degree position, a singularity condition may occur. If a singularity condition occurs, the robot stops and an arm configuration or speed error is generated. XYZ2: During a XYZ2 move, wrist joints (JT4, JT5, and JT6) are used to compensate for a singularity condition. During a XYZ2 move, gun orientation is not necessarily maintained. The gun tip configuration (TCP) is maintained during a XYZ1 or a XYZ2 interpolated move. The interpolation and point type selected during teaching is recorded with the positional data. In edit mode, the interpolation and point type are selected from the MOVE instruction screen, as shown in figure 7-69. Attempting to teach positional data for axes not installed generates an error. The format for MOVE instructions is different depending on the number of axes installed, as shown in figure 7-70.

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

RECORDING AND EDITING PROGRAMS

If motor power does not engage, ensure the teach pendant, controller, and any external emergency stop switches are not engaged.

CAUTION

When a program is executed in repeat mode, the robot moves from its current location to the step of the program selected. To start the program from the first step, use the STEP NEXT key in teach mode to move the cursor to the beginning of the program. If the first step of the program is a linear move, the wrist may rotate to a angle 360 degrees from the taught rotation. This may cause twisting of the painting hoses. If the first step of the program is a joint move, unexpected wrist motion is not a concern. It is recommended the first step of a program be recorded as a joint move.

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

The Pos. Error Range at E-Stop function is used to set a comparison range for checking the robots commanded position when an emergency stop is applied, with the position when motor power is reapplied. If the difference between the robots position when motor power is reapplied and when the emergency stop was pressed is greater than the set value, a position offset error is displayed. The position offset error generated from this function cannot be reset and motor power cannot be applied. The error range must be reset to a value that does not cause an error. The purpose of this function is to prevent interference with fixtures, jigs, or work pieces when the robot is restarted after an emergency stop condition. The acceptable range of data for the position error range at emergency stop is from 0.1 degree to 10.0 degrees for axes one to six and from 0.1 mm to 100 mm for a seventh axis.

9.14 AUX 47 BASE COORDINATE

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

This function allows the operator to redefine the base reference frame by effectively shifting the base transformation values XYZ and OAT. When the machine is first initialized the transformation values of the base coordinate system are all set to a null or zero position. A null base has the transformation values 0,0,0,0,0,0. The Base Coordinate function is used to change the base reference location. Programmers must be aware of the impact shifting the base coordinate origin has on program playback. Shifting the base coordinate origin results in the equivalent shift occurring for all transformation locations stored in the controller memory. Locations recorded as precision points are played back based on the joint angles of the robots six axes and are not affected by a base coordinate shift. The acceptable range for the base coordinate shift function is from -9999.9 mm to 10000 mm in the XYZ directions and from -180 to 180 for angles OAT. The Base Coordinate function screen is shown in figure 9-14.

9.16 AUX 51 SOFTWARE LIMIT

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

This function allows the operator to set the upper and lower limits of robot travel as expressed in degrees of axes rotation. The robot cannot travel to locations that are outside of these limits. During jogging operations, an audible beep indicates the robot is approaching a software limit. The frequency of the audible beep increases as the robot moves closer to the limit. When the limit is reached, the robot stops moving in that direction and the audible tone is constant, no error message is generated. The robot can be jogged away from software limits by simply changing direction. If the robot is moved with the brake release to a location beyond the software limits or the software limits are changed, placing the robot outside the software limits, the operator can jog back into the software limits envelope. If the overtravel limit switch is engaged (JT1), the overtravel error recovery procedure (see 9.16.1) must be used. The Software Limit display is shown in figure 9-16. The allowable maximum and minimum settings are displayed along with the current settings. Use the cursor keys and numeric keypad to change the settings. If data is entered that is beyond the allowable settings, an out of range error occurs. The first screen displayed shows the upper limits, the lower limits are displayed by pressing the F3 NEXT PG key.

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

The auxiliary function incorporates Motion Type 1 (MT1) and Motion Type 2 (MT2) path planning systems. Both of these systems blend two robot path segments to achieve continuous path motion. When a fine accuracy is used to reach a target point, maximum deceleration and acceleration are used to reach that point. When a large accuracy is used, a continuous path motion is produced. The deceleration of the current step and the acceleration of the next step creates a smooth transition from one point to the next. The MT1 path planning system determines the blending of multiple linear or joint interpolated segments based on the acceleration, deceleration, and the length of the blended segments. Joint interpolated paths are planned using MT1. MT2 was developed for the C controller to improve the repeat mode path accuracy and repeatability. This is accomplished by blending two linear or circular segments based on accuracy (Figure 9-18). MT2 path planning is valid only for Linear and Circular Interpolation motions, generated by AS/Block instructions, i.e., LINEAR, C1MOVE, C2MOVE, FLIN and HMOVE.

Refer to figure 9-18 during the following explanation. For Motion Type 2 the maximum allowable accuracy is determined by: Maximum allowable accuracy, Amax = MIN ( AB, BC) Where: AB = Half the distance between point A and point B BC = Half the distance between point B and point C MIN = the minimum value of 2 real numbers example : MIN(2, 3) = 2, MIN(8,5) = 5 Accuracy used is determined by: Accuracy defined in the program = Aoperator and accuracy used by the software = Aused IF Aoperator < Amax, THEN Aused = Aoperator IF Aoperator > Amax THEN Aused = Amax If a WAIT, SWAIT, TWAIT, TOOL or WORK instruction follows a motion instruction, MT2 is invalid and MT1 is used. Example: ACCURACY 25 LMOVE B SWAIT 1001 ;The SWAIT instruction causes the software to ignore the 25 mm ;accuracy and decelerate to point B then resume motion to point C.

9.25 AUX 76 HOME POSITION

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

The Home Position function allows the operator to set two home positions for the robot. These home positions can be set to any location within the work envelope. Home positions have two unique characteristics. A dedicated output signal can be assigned to each of the home positions so that whenever the robot is within the range set for that position the signal is generated. Home positions are also recognized in a unique way in AS Language commands, the only code needed to send the robot to the home position is the statement HOME. When this instruction is encountered, the robot performs a joint move to the home position. A second home position is identified by the designation HOME2 and is set from the second screen of function 76. Figure 9-28 shows the screen to set HOME POSITION 1. From this screen the operator can choose to enter the desired home position as expressed in joint angles or the current position of the robot. To enter a HOME position other than the current position, use the cursor keys to highlight KEY-IN and move to the desired joint number. Enter the desired number of degrees for each joint and press ENTER when completed. The range for the home position is also set from this screen. When the robot reaches a point within the specified range, the output signal is generated. The recommended minimum setting for the home position range is between 5 mm and 10 mm to ensure the home position output is generated.

9.30 AUX 91 ENVIRONMENT DATA

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

The Environment Data function is used to set an auto servo timer and identify if the controller is operating with a teach pendant or multi function panel installed. The AUTO SERVO OFF TIMER sets a time period that motor power remains ON if no movement of the robot has occurred. The auto servo off timer function is designed to save energy by allowing the brakes to maintain robot position as opposed to using electrical power and servo motors. When the robot has not moved and the auto servo off timer has reached its set value, the brakes are applied and power is removed from the servo motors. The motor power light remains ON and the robot begins motion under the same conditions as if the auto off servo timer did not remove power from the motors. The Environment Data function also allows the operator to identify if a teach pendant is installed. The enabling devices and the emergency stop button are hard-wired and a jumper (or a different operator interface) must be installed if the teach pendant is removed. Figure 9-33 shows the screen that is displayed when AUX 91 is selected.

The operation logging function also displays the name of the operator interface the operation was performed on, the date, time, and a description of the operation performed. Operation log entries cannot be deleted or edited and remain in memory even after the controller is initialized. Figure 9-49 shows an example of the Operation Logging function screen. Pressing the F3 key moves the display to the next group of operations in the log.

9.44 AUX 140 ENCODER ROT. COUNTER RESET The Encoder Rot. (Rotation) Counter Reset function is used in conjunction with AUX 41 Zeroing and AUX 44 Zeroing Data Set Display, as part of the zeroing process. When maintenance is performed that mechanically changes the position of the robot in relation to the encoders or a servo motor is replaced, zeroing is required.

CAUTION

Operators must be aware of the effect changes made in this function have on the position of programmed locations. Changing this data without following the complete zeroing process may move programmed locations to positions that cause damage to the robot, fixtures or work.

AUX 140 provides the operator with the option of selecting a single joint or all joints to the reset encoder rotation count. If a single joint is selected, a set degree angle for that axis may also be entered. When the data for this function is entered, the offset is stored by the 1HA board to provide accurate robot motion. Figure 9-50 shows the Encoder Rot. Counter Reset screen.

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

The Program Queue is a memory function that stores the program numbers for playback. If the same program is used several times in the process of the robots operation, this function saves the operator the trouble of inputting program numbers before each play back. Storing the robot program repeat patterns in the Program Queue is used when the process and work piece carried in by conveyor is known in advance. Display each setting screen using the cursor keys or selecting the function by number. Figure 9-51 shows the Program Queue display screen and table 9-7 gives the menu item descriptions.

9.50 AUX 154 TOTAL REPEAT CYCLES OF PROGRAM This function allows the operator to view, modify, or to clear the repeat cycles of program count (Figure 9-73 through 9-75). When a program is executed in dry run mode (program play back with servo power OFF and no robot motion), the number of cycles is not changed. When a program is executed in repeat mode and a program BRANCH instruction (absolute jump, etc.) exists at the end of program, the number of repeat cycles is not changed. When ending a program with forced termination during repeat mode, the number of repeat cycles is not changed. When program execution ends with the repeat cycle screen displayed, the repeat cycle number is not updated (not a live display). The repeat cycle count is maintained by an internal counter and the correct number of cycles is displayed when the operator exits the repeat cycle screen and displays it again. The number of repeat cycles is counted up to 65535, when this number is exceeded the counter value does not change.

9.55 AUX 167 SINGULAR POINT ALARM RANGE SET This function is used to display and set the singular point alarm function (Figure 9-80). When the controller determines the robot cannot achieve the calculated joint angles for the position and the posture required to satisfy the tool center point (XYZOAT) position, this called a singular point (singularity). The following situations can cause a singularity condition. 1. Multiple combinations of each joint angle that can satisfy the desired tool tip position and posture exist. If all joint angles cannot be determined, the software does not allow the controller processor to make a decision, and the robot is stopped. Desired position and posture of the tool tip cannot be achieved due to structural constraint. For example, a point out of the operating range is designated that the arm cannot reach.

2.

The robot motion is rapid around the singular point and the vicinity of the singular point. When the robot enters the singular point range, the robot is stopped and an error is displayed. This function allows the robot to be stopped before executing unexpected motion, that can cause damage to the robot, robot tooling, or peripheral equipment. The value range for setting the singular point alarm is 0 through 30 degrees. The default setting is 5.0 degrees.

9.56 AUX 168 DIFFERENCE OF WORK/AIR-CUT SPEED This function is used to select execution of painting moves and air-cut moves at different speeds (Figure 9-81). When YES is selected, the robot operates at the painting and air-cut speed according to differences at each painting step and air-cut step, Operation speed, when NO is selected, is described below. The robot operates at the speed indicated by the last SPRAY_SPEED instruction, AIRCUT instruction or SPEED instruction, until the next SPEED instruction is executed regardless of differences in the painting step or air-cut step. Joint operation occurs only when SPR_JSPEED and SPR_AC_JSPEED instructions are executed. Linear operation occurs only when SPR_SPEED and SPR_AC_SPEED instructions are executed. When a SPEED instruction is not executed, the robot operates at the default value (Joint 10%, Linear 100 mm/s). When a SPEED instruction is executed without designating an ALWAYS instruction, only the next step is operated at the specified speed.

This mode is used to edit the values and conditions stored in the user data banks. Items set as 1 do not change the current settings when executing a CALL_DBK instruction. Figure 9-116 shows the data bank conditional data value entry procedure. Table 9-17 gives the conditional items contents.

CAUTION

1. A Call_DBK instruction can be set multiple times in a single step. If the same condition item is set multiple times in such cases, the last setting becomes applicable (enabled). 2. A Call_DBK instruction is executed even if it is set in the aircut (spray off) section. The conditional items which are effective within the spraying section do not function in the air cut section. 3. Only an existing data bank should be referenced by the Call_DBK instruction in TEACH mode. If the data bank does not exist, an alarm is output. 4. In EDIT mode, the availability of the specified data bank is not checked. If unavailable, there is an error message at execution in TEACH or REPEAT mode. 5.

11.9 AUX 40 AUTO TOOL SET

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

The Auto Tool Set function is used to determine tool dimensions and orientation for tools 1 through 9. Tool dimensions and orientation are referred to as tool coordinates. Correct tool coordinates are important during jogging, in base and tool mode, and during linear moves, in repeat mode, to maintain proper tool orientation. A tool name is entered and the type of conversion (0:XYZ, 1:XYZOAT) is selected. Type 0 sets only the tool center point (TCP), while type 1 sets the TCP and the OAT angles. Refer to sections 11.9.1 and 11.9.2 respectively, for additional information about setting the TCP and OAT angles. Figure 11-9 shows the Auto Tool Set screens.

11.10 CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

Circular interpolation allows the operator to program a path in an arcing motion. The controller computes the circular path based on a minimum of three taught points. The first, or starting move, may be any type of move except CIR1 (JOINT, LINEAR or CIR2). The second point must be a CIR1 move. The last point must be a CIR2 move. Figure 11-11 and 11-12 show examples of circular move programing. Multiple CIR1 moves may be used between the starting move and the CIR2 ending move.

11.11 HYBRID INTERPOLATION

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

The optional linear 2 interpolation provides for hybrid interpolated movement. Hybrid interpolation allows the operator to avoid singularity on axes when linear moves are necessary. The robot maintains the tool center point in a linear move, but adjust tool orientation to drive through the singularity. An error results if the limits are exceeded. 11.12 AUX 45 FIXED TOOL DIMENSIONS The Fixed Tool Dimensions function allows the operator to program moves that are relative to an external fixed point in the work envelope. This type of interpolation is called fixed linear interpolation (FLIN). In a FLIN move the robot path is calculated to maintain a set relationship to a fixed point. Applications for FLIN moves include moving a part around a fixed sealing dispenser or a fixed stud welding gun. The FLIN path enables the programmer to reduce the number of programmed points needed to maintain a fixed distance from the sealing dispenser. Figure 11-13 shows the auxiliary function screen used to enter the dimensions for a fixed tool used with FLIN moves. Figure 11-14 shows how the path of a windshield moved by a robot is differs with linear and FLIN interpolation.

11.23 AUX 117 OX SPECIFICATION SET

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

The OX Specification Set function allows the operator to set the characteristics of output signals. Four types of signals can be specified, they include the STEP, KEEP, DOUBLE, and PULSE types. The settings of the OX PREOUT and AFTER.WAIT.TMR switches affect signal timing; unit 9 of this manual covers the function of these switches. The STEP type signal is the standard type of signal that is output without the optional OX Specification function. The STEP type signal is turned on at each step of the block step program that identifies the signal number. When the robot moves to a location that does not include the signal number in the auxiliary data, the signal is turned off. A 0 is entered to specify a STEP type of signal from the OX specification table. The KEEP type of signal remains on until it is turned off at a specific step. A 1 is entered to specify a KEEP type of signal from the OX specification table. The DOUBLE type of signal turns one signal on and one off; DOUBLE type signals must be entered in pairs. A 2 is entered to specify DOUBLE types of signals from the OX specification table. The PULSE type of signal remains on for the specified length of the pulse width, in seconds. A 3 is entered to specify a PULSE type of signal from the OX specification table. The length of the pulse is also entered from this screen.

Figure 11-30 shows the OX Specification Set screen used to set the signal characteristics and figure 11-31 is a graph showing the affect of each type of signal on signal timing.

11.28 SLOGIC

C SERIES CONTROLLER EP TYPE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

Relay circuitry for the robot interface is reduced by replacing it with the Slogic software function. Slogic is similar to ladder logic, used with programmable controllers (table 113). Making signal assignments using Slogic is much easier than making changes on hard-wired systems. For hard-wired systems, changes are made by physically making connections. Using Slogic, changes are made by simply making changes to programs. Slogic program instructions are used to specify outputs, timers, and counters. Slogic program instructions are edited on the 1GA board (main CPU) via the multi function panel and then transferred to the 1FS (R I/O) board, which executes the Slogic program. The remote input/output (R I/O) function is performed by the optional 1FS board. The RI/O system provides Allen-Bradley (A-B) programmable logic controller (PLC) serial communication, weld control serial communication, and Slogic execution. The R I/O function provides the status of all signals, including A-B PLC and weld control serial signals. Internal Slogic signals can be displayed via the multi function panel. The R I/O system performs the following functions: A-B PLC serial communication is performed by the A-B node adapter chip (NAC). Robot controllers are daisy chained through the NAC, enabling communication with the line PLC system. A maximum of 128 I/O channels are available. Weld control serial communication is performed by the 1FS board serial I/O function, which is capable of controlling a maximum of four weld controllers. A maximum of 16 I/O channels are available for each weld controller. The Slogic function is similar to a PLC instruction which uses Slogic instructions for outputs, timers, and counters. The Slogic instructions are edited on the robot controller through the 1GA board (main CPU), and then transferred to the 1FS board for execution of Slogic programs.

The base and tool coordinate systems shown in figure A-2 show the standard orientation and origin of each coordinate system. The tool coordinate system has been rotated, through system software, from the base coordinate orientation by using the O, A, and T angles of +90, +90, and 90 respectively. For this reason, the robot location is shown as having O, A, and T angles of +90, +90, and 90 when the wrist is in a straight, or zero position, and the tool dimension is set with O, A, and T angles of 0, 0, and 0. The tool coordinate system can be rotated into other orientations by defining the proper O, A, and T angles. Typically this is done so that the "Z" tool coordinate axis is aligned in the direction of the tool.
