You know how to do that? @Liam_ABB

The default shortcut for RobotStudio that is created in your Windows start menu folder for ABB should be for the 64-bit version of RobotStudio.

Re: Download Virtual SmartGripper

Dear All,

After more tests depending on different situatiuons, I updated the Virtual SmartGripper project containing some bug fixes.

I also built the most used SmartGripper Versions within this update, they are all in the folder uploaded from ABB_YumiGuide. Thanks for updating it in the main post.

This update fixes the known issues:

Loading a Station containing multiple Virtual SmartGrippers didn't work in each case.

Loading multiple Virtual SmartGrippers into a Station didn't work in each case.

Disconnect Station Logic now just disconnects the SmartGripper from the controller (before, all connections to the SmartGripper were deleted)

Regards,

Florian

Re: What is the best way to load program to run.

If you can assign a variable from the camera software via PC interface in the Rapid program depending on the product and front/back then you can use any of the conditional tests in RAPID to run the correct procedure or load a module and run it.
TEST is probably the one to use if there a re a few options, IF when only one or two.

Re: OptSearch_1D Restart?

So it seems the SearchL errors are not propagated by the OptSearch_1D instruction.
Have you tried using the CapSensorScan and SearchL instructions separately (the OptSearch_1D says it is a combination of these two)?

Re: How to protect programs from being copied？

Hello,

These parameters are for entire module not PROC.

With RS, when you create a new module, you can add these parameters.

So you can see how to make.

Doing like this don't prevent copy or modify your module with text editor (or RS).

Re: How to protect programs from being copied？

You can Automatically Load modules and have them hidden. From the System Parameter manual:

Hidden

Parent	Hidden belongs to the type Automatic Loading of Modules, in the topic Controller.
Description	RAPID modules, routines and data may be hidden, which may be used to prevent inexperienced end users from tampering (accidentally deleting or changing) with the contents. Note that the hidden contents is not protected! It can easily be shown again by setting the parameter value to NO. Note that any hidden contents will still be available when using the SetDataSearch instruction to search RAPID data.
Limitations	This parameter affects only modules, routines, and data that are loaded automatically on start, that is no programs etc. that are loaded by the operator once the system has been started. Changes to the parameter will be effective only after using the restart mode Reset RAPID.
Allowed values	YES or NO. Default value is NO.

Re: How to protect programs from being copied？

Its also good practice to setup operator credentials to prevent access to certain aspects of the controller.

There is also an optional parameter at the routine level called \switch Dummy which removes the routine from view on the pendant but can be viewed from robotstudio.

Re: How to protect programs from being copied？

And I am also seeing that it can be a program module, not just system.

Re: Accuracy of IRB120 M2004 for move offset linear millimeter

Robots are very repeatable (will go to the same place over and over again generally in ABB's case to better than 0.1 mm) but not very accurate (as in your case where you ask it to move a set distance).

ABB have an option called absolute accuracy that compensates for this lack of accuracy.

Re: SOLIDWORKS Converter

The native cad for Robot Studio is ACIS (.sat). You would need to convert to that format if you do not want to pay for the Solidworks converter option.
