Can i see frame moved by mechanical unit show in the system parameters?

kschmid

And still one more noob question:
How would frame moved by mechanical unit show in the system parameters?
Is there an entry I can check?

Depends on what you mean by frame. If you mean a mechanism, for example a robot on track, is the setting in the motion parameters (moc): Motion - Robot - Base Frame Moved by - TRACK_1. If it is a workobject moved by a mechanical unit, its defined directly in that workobject. This workobject is moved by mechanical unit "M8DM1": 
TASK PERS wobjdata Workobject_1:=[FALSE,TRUE,"M8DM1",[[0,0,0],[1,0,0,0]],[[0,0,0],[1,0,0,0]]];

Ah thanks, both but I was looking for the track one.

Turning it on makes controler no longer start up

Simple rspag (2x ibr120, rtt_bobin), 3 separate tasks for each.

Whe I try to make the baseframe of either robot moved by rtt_bobin by either linking them or changing the motion paramters under robot  the controler fails starting up again. Errors look similar to


50348: Log signal definition failed
Description
Definition of a signal failed for ROB_1, axis 6 on channel 0.
Causes
The signal number does not correspond to an actual log signal.

50348: Log signal definition failed

I understand it cannot connect to both but 1 should work? Am I doing this wrong?

How long could it potentially take to start up the controler?

 Does "Baseframe moved by mechanical unit" work between different tasks (robot is 1 task, mechanical unit another)?
I have been told I may need Dual resolvers to use the same elevator for 2 robots, where could I find more information?

Can I move the base frame in rapid?

graemepaulin

The Baseframe is stored in the motion system parameter which requires a restart for changes to take effect - so I would say the answer is no you can not change it via RAPID.

kschmid

Thanks, so how does baseframe coordinated by mechanical unit work under the hood?

I am still trying tio figure out this but cannot reallty get it to work with just 1 if they are all in separate tasks

Since nothing else works how about giving each robot task its own elevator even if there is just one? Running out of ideas and time to get this set up

kschmid

We cannot be the first people trying this so we are probably just reinventing the wheel in a bad way..

kschmid

We are pretty much trying to set something similar than this (our track is vertical and moves the robots). How is the coordination done in robotstudio? It worked in 2015

Is it worth trying with ros industrial instead?

k_schmid

We are really stuck with that: Can 1 track be shared by 2 robots in a synchronous way? Whats the setup? Any help appreciated

kschmid

I have to assume this i s very hard or impossible? Or highly unusual at least?

This is with abb support now
