Door Function and adjacent sensor

mark457b

Hello Forums

I am making a door function on a "CNC" that turns a Shaft/Aksel, then a robot picks it up and places it on a pallet.

I have made the door/CNC as a Mechanism so it can slide open or shut.
I've placed a Plane sensor so I can set boundaries for the robot when its allowed or not, to pick up the Shaft inside the CNC.

I have tried setting it up as I believe it should be and working, but offcourse it doesnt

I have linked a couple of pictures so you can see what i mean.
I hope that someone can help me or bring me directions

You could use any sensor, for example line sensor, just in front of the open door, which sets a signal high when the door is closed (i.e. the door intersects the line sensor). Then in Rapid you make the robot wait for that signal to go low before it continues on its path into the CNC.

Is the output from the robot connected to the diCloseDoor in your station signals?

Sturner : 
I've tested the diCloseDoor and diOpenDoor manually on my SC_CNCv2 while running simulation and they work probably when doing that.
Im thinking it might be the Output that are causing the problems.

I know that Maxim, it was connecting the Door mechanism så when i send the signal high it closes the door and when i send the signal low it opens again.
But it wont work

The mechanism work when i trigger the inputs on the SC_CNCv2 - Smart component but when I use the signals in the programming

You could try using SR-latches for the signals, in case they act as Pulses.

Have you tested with simulation running?

I've fixed the problem !
I had misconfigurated the station logic signals and the door function works perfectly now
So many thanks to you Guys Sturner and Maxim Riabichev for your help.

What is customs to do when a discussion is finished?
