11.1 Preparing the watch table and the kinematics trace
Overview
To test the user program, use the following functionalities in the TIA Portal:
● Kinematics trace
● Watch table
Kinematics trace
In the kinematics trace, you track the current kinematics motion, record it and then play it
back.
The kinematics trace of the kinematics technology object can be found in the project
navigator under "Technology objects > CylindricalRobot > Kinematics trace".
Watch table
Control and monitor the HMI tags using the watch table.
1. Create a new watch table "HMI-Monitor".
2. Insert all parameters from the "HMI" data block into the watch table.
3. Add other relevant parameters for the interconnected axes (
①):
– Home position control
– Display of possible errors
4. Add other relevant parameters for the kinematics technology object (
②):
– Default for velocity and dynamic limitation for the maximum velocity of the path
– Activating/deactivating dynamic limitation
– Velocity override
– Display the current path velocity (setpoint reference)
– Display of possible errors
5. Add other relevant parameters (
③):
– Display of program status in automatic mode
– Display of error ID in automatic mode
