How to insert instructions? Method as follows:

  1. Click Project, click [New];
  2. After creating program, click [OK];
  3. Enter program instruction interface, click [Insert];
  4. Enter instruction type interface, select the instruction type to insert, then select instruction, click [OK];
  5. Enter instruction parameter setting interface. If parameters need modification, click [OK] after modification. If no modification needed, directly click [OK];
  6. To modify instruction, select the instruction line to modify in the instruction parameter interface and click [Modify];
  7. To delete instruction, select the instruction line to delete in the instruction parameter interface and click [Delete];
  8. Click [Operations] to copy, paste, cut, move up, move down, deactivate, or run from current position for the selected instruction;
  9. Click [Modify Position] to write the robot's current position into the selected position variable.

For detailed parameters on speed, smoothing, acceleration ratio, deceleration ratio, and early execution, refer to the motion instruction parameters section.

Note: When modifying some instruction speeds (MOVJ, MOVL, MOVS, etc. motion instructions), acceleration ratio and deceleration ratio will automatically display in 1:1 relationship with speed. To modify acceleration or deceleration ratio, manual operation is required.

Answer:

  1. Click Settings - Robot Parameters - Robot Type, set robot count;
  2. Both robot types select 6-axis serial robot;
  3. Click [Save] to restart system;
  4. Import configuration in Robot 1, robot_A (Robot 1 configuration) and robot_B (Robot 2 configuration);
  5. In Settings - System Settings - Maintenance Mode, enable [Enable Dual-Robot Synchronization Mode].

Question: How to teach positions after inserting dual-robot instructions?

Answer: Note: Dual-robot point-to-point, dual-robot linear, dual-robot circular arc and dual-robot full circle instructions only support insertion in Robot 1.

  1. Insert dual-robot instruction in Robot 1 instruction interface;
  2. Jog Robot 1 to target position;
  3. Switch to Robot 2 and jog to target position.

In Robot 1 program instruction interface, select the instruction to modify and click [Modify]. In the parameter setting interface, click [Set Current Position as E Point]. Prompt appears "Continue modifying position?". Click [OK] to store current position in target variable. Click [Cancel] to not record robot's current position to target variable, allowing continued movement to desired position. Part 1 in the figure shows Robot 1's current position and stored variable position. Part 2 shows Robot 2's current position and stored variable position.

Answer:

  1. Switch to run mode, click robot select "Robotall" to enter dual-robot run mode interface;
  2. Start both robots simultaneously by pressing [Start] on teach pendant. Pause both robots by pressing [Stop];
  3. To start Robot 1 individually, click [Robot 1] then click [Start] as shown. Robot 1 starts working. Click [Stop] to pause Robot 1. Robot 2 start/stop operations are the same as Robot 1.

Example description: Camera communication successful, sends positions. Get trajectory position storage location and select external point motion queue. Insert external point instruction below trajectory position instruction. Robot starts moving on external point trajectory sent by camera.

Question: How to run external point instruction through 6000, 7000 ports?

Answer: First note: When connecting to 6000 port, the teach pendant must be removed!

  1. 7000 port: Look up command word according to 7000 port protocol, send data (note send format, incorrect format will cause sent data to be ineffective).
  2. Insert external point instruction. Send positions according to "INEXBOT Network Function Protocol" format. After successful send, running external point instruction will cause robot to run to target positions based on sent data.
  3. Robot will run individual points or continuous trajectory based on sent data.

Example 2: Command word 1E02, select "Continuous Trajectory", "Send all trajectory points at once". Set parameters are for reference only. For other parameter settings, refer to 7000 port protocol.

{ //When selecting "Continuous Trajectory", "Send partial points each time", "Run after receiving complete trajectory", protocol format

EXTMOV - External Axis Follow

Format: EXTMOV [Instruction Name] O1 [External axis to move] COMST_T [External axis follow type] 10 [Multiplier].

Function: External axis follows robot at linear speed multiplier or constant speed.

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
External AxisSelect O1-O5 axis for follow
TypeExternal axis speed can be viewed in Monitor - Axis Speed
Follow (0): Speed changes with robot real-time speed
Constant (1): Run at constant speed
Speed ValueWhen follow type is constant, speed value can be manual input or variable
KWhen follow type is follow, value can be entered
K (Multiplier): External axis speed (°/s) = K * Linear speed (mm/s)

Notes: External axis motion instructions cannot be inserted between external axis follow instructions!

Example 1: External axis follow instruction type constant, constant value 10.

  1. NOP
  2. EXTMOV O1 COMST_T 10 Follow start
  3. MOVL P0001 V=50mm/s PL=0 ACC=1 DEC=1 0
  4. ENDEXTMOV Follow end
  5. END

Execution effect: While robot moves to P0001, external axis also moves. During motion, external axis speed remains at 10. After robot reaches P0001, external axis also stops.

Example 2: External axis follow instruction type follow, K=2.

  1. NOP
  2. EXTMOV O1 FOLLOW 2 Follow start
  3. MOVL P0001 V=10mm/s PL=0 ACC=1 DEC=1 0
  4. ENDEXTMOV Follow end
  5. END

Example description: While robot moves to P0001, external axis also moves. During motion, external axis speed changes with robot speed. After robot reaches P0001, external axis also stops.

Insert non-motion instruction (e.g., delay instruction):

  1. If follow type is selected, when executing delay instruction, both external axis and robot stop.
  2. If constant type is selected, when executing delay instruction, robot stops but external axis continues rotating until delay ends.

GEARIN - Electronic Gear

Format: GEARIN [Instruction Name] J1 [Main axis] O1 [Follow axis] K=2 [Ratio].

Function: External axis follows robot axis motion. Follow axis speed equals selected main axis speed * Ratio K value.

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
Main AxisRobot's J1-J6 axes
External AxisExternal axis O1-O5 for follow
Ratio KFollow axis speed (°/s) = K * Main axis speed (°/s)

Example:

  1. NOP
  2. GEARIN J1 O1 2 Electronic gear start
  3. MOVL P0001 V=10mm/s PL=0 ACC=1 DEC=1 0 Linear instruction
  4. ENDGEARIN Electronic gear stop

ParameterDescription
MRESETAll axes: Reset O1-O5 all axes turn count
Single axis: Reset selected O1-O5 single axis turn count

Example:

  3. EXTMOV O1 FOLLOW 1 Follow start
  4. MOVL P0002 V=10mm/s PL=0 ACC=1 DEC=1 0 Program point 2
  5. ENDEXTMOV Follow end
  6. MRESET 1 Reset external axis O1
  7. END

Example description: When inserting external axis follow instruction, external axis follows robot during motion. In this case, external axis can easily exceed set maximum forward/reverse limits. Inserting reset external axis multi-turn instruction changes external axis position to within one turn, preventing limit exceedance errors.

For example: After executing external axis follow instruction, external axis O1 position is 1200°, exceeding set maximum forward/reverse limits. Inserting reset external axis multi-turn instruction resets external axis position to 120°. Calculation: 1200/360, integer part of result is 3 (3 turns), then 1200-360*3=120°.
