[530] Advanced Functions
Includes functions making the following possible:
- Information transfer via serial channels or files.
- Setting an output at a specific position.
- Checking signal value at a specific position.
- Executing a routine at a specific position.
- Defining forbidden areas within the robot´s working space.
- Automatic setting of output when the robot is in a user-defined area.
- Robot motion in an error handler or trap routine, e.g. during automatic error
handling.
- Cross connections with logical conditions.
- Interrupts from analog input or output signals.
Transferring information via serial channels
Data in the form of character strings, numeric values or binary information can be
transferred between the robot and other peripheral equipment, e.g. a PC, bar code
reader, or another robot. Information is transferred via an RS232 or RS485 serial
channel.
Examples of applications:
- Printout of production statistics on a printer connected to the robot.
- Reading part numbers from a bar code reader with a serial interface.
- Transferring data between the robot and a PC.
The transfer is controlled entirely from the robot’s work program. When it is required
to control the transfer from a PC, use the option RAP Communication or FactoryWare
Interface.
Data transfer via files
Data in the form of character strings, numerical values or binary information can be
written to or read from files on a diskette or other type of mass storage/memory.
Examples of applications:
- Storing production statistics on a diskette or flashdisk. This information can
then be read and processed by an ordinary PC.
- The robot’s production is controlled by a file. This file may have been created
in a PC, stored on a diskette, and read by the robot at a later time.
