modify value of the point

andr99

Hello,
I have robot with s4c+ controller,and I have diffrent programs with difrent points now I want to modify value (x,y,z)in automatic mode. I know this way of modify position.
I put robot in the manual mode, than I find the program and the point to modify
MoveL * v600,z10,tcp1, then I go to * and to menu edit and function 8(value), there I can change the values x,y and z. Maybe anyone know how I modify point in automatic mode without that i put the robot to manual mode.

Thanks,

Best regards

Hi andr99

Take a look at the Offset function

Hi,

You must have a correct workObject and the tool to change the new value for this point. If you have a workObject or a Tool diferent in the move instruction the system dont give a premission to modify the point!

Hi andr99,

Following the way I do that.

You need to use robtarget variables instead of "*" in your code.
Change the program this way:

MoveL *,v1000,z10,tool1;

to

MoveL p10,v1000,z10,tool1;

You'll still be able to modify points in the standard way (Edit-8),  but now you can write a new procedure to allow the user (or yourself) to modify the point interactively. For example:

PROC EditRobtarget(INOUT ROBTARGET p, STRING description)

  TPWrite "Editing "+description;
  TPWrite "Current X"+NumToStr(p.x, 3);
  TPWrite "           Y"+NumToStr(p.y, 3);
  TPWrite "           Z"+NumToStr(p.z, 3);

  TPReadNum p.x, "Enter new X value";
  TPReadNum p.y, "Enter new Y value";
  TPReadNum p.z, "Enter new Z value";

ENDPROC

and somewhere in the program:
...
EditRobtarget p10, "PICK point";

I hope this can help you

Hi claudio

To make it work you have to use:

  TPWrite "Current X"+NumToStr(p.trans.x, 3);
  TPWrite "           Y"+NumToStr(p.trans.y, 3);
  TPWrite "           Z"+NumToStr(p.trans.z, 3);

  TPReadNum p.trans.x, "Enter new X value";
  TPReadNum p.trans.y, "Enter new Y value";
  TPReadNum p.trans.z, "Enter new Z value";

Hi andr99,

you may use hotedit function of S4c+ controller

in automatic mode or even program running situation(without tpwrite instruction is recommend) it works.

production window viewposition  you'll find robtarget variables choose your desired one, you can modify the x,y,z values.

But 10mm is the biggest size of once modify, i'm not sure of this number  you can try it.

Hi Claudio,

what does the "PICK point" component of the EditRobtarget p10 porceedurecall ?

PROC EditRobtarget(INOUT ROBTARGET p, STRING description)
should the p in the above be p10?

Thanks, Russ

Sorry, I've been away for a while....

RussG, the purpose of the EditRobtarget procedure is to allow the user to modify the value of a robtarget. Usually a robtarget has a meaning in the application; for example, in a pick-place application you will have a PICK point and a PLACE point.
The "PICK point" string was just an example of a description. The procedure will create a screen on the TP, like:

Editing PICK point:
Current X 123.000
        Y 456.000
        Z 789.000

So, the user will know which point is changing. You can also try:

EditRobtarget p10,"p10";

that leads:

Editing p10:

Current X 123.000

        Y 456.000

        Z 789.000
