Setting the Robot Speed to 100% always

gkumar

Hi I am trying to set up the Robot speed to 100% always even if someone tries to change them from the TP. Is there a way to do this from the Main program ?? I want to do this because I have coordination issues between the conveyor and robot. I am using vision and conveyor tracking.

You can use the instruction SpeedRefresh in a background task.
This requer the option multimove.

There could be a way to lock it out on the pendant with user permissions, but unfortunately, the default pendant speed override trumps SpeedRefresh.

Or lock users into a WHILE loop until it's manually changed:

WHILE CSpeedOverride()<>100 DO
   ErrWrite "Speed Override Active", "Change speed override back" \RL2:="to 100 percent.";
   Stop;
ENDWHILE

I have used this bit of code in the past to check speed override.

nSpeedOride:=CSpeedOverride();

WHILE nSpeedOride <> 100 DO

    TPErase;

    TPWrite "Speed Override is NOT 100%!!!";

    TPWrite "Program will run when override is set to 100%.";

    nSpeedOride:=CSpeedOverride();

    WaitTime 0.25;

ENDWHILE
