Operating Methods
The SCORBOT-ER 4pc can be programmed and operated by means of SCORBASE
for Windows software and by a teach pendant. Software and teach pendant operation is
described fully in the other manuals supplied with the system.
SCORBASE for Windows Software
SCORBASE for Windows is a robotic control software package which has been
designed for use with the SCORBOT-ER 4pc. Its menu-driven structure and off-line
capabilities facilitate robotic programming and operation.
SCORBASE communicates with the robot controller by means of an RS232 channel.
SCORBASE for Windows can be operated in three levels, which are comparable to
Levels 1, 3 and 5 of the original DOS-based SCORBASE software. SCORBASE for
Windows Level 1 and Level 3 are recommended for those who wish to learn robotic
programming from the most basic stages. SCORBASEpro contains programming
commands and options for advanced users.
SCORBASE for Windows is described fully in the SCORBASE for Windows User’s
Manual.
Teach Pendant
The teach pendant is an optional device.
The teach pendant is a hand-held terminal which is used for controlling the robot and
peripheral equipment connected to the same robot controller. The teach pendant is most
practical for moving the axes, recording positions, and sending the axes to recorded
positions. Other functions can also be executed from the teach pendant.
The Teach Pendant for Controller-PC User’s Manual fully describes the various
elements and functions of the teach pendant.
