IRB 1200

Ok, I decided to quit the project and throw the arm in a deep hole. I think ABB robot system is a disaster. With Kawasaky robots I've never had problems of this dimension. I've made something like 10 km only to press "authorize" on the flexpendant every time I need to access in write mode...
Many thanks to all have helped me. Buy Kawasaky...0 -

mecoplast said:Good evening, I'm new in the forum, my name is Andrea calling from Italy. We have an IRB 1200 programmed via flexpendant making always the same movements, thus, we don't need any pc connected. Sometimes I need to change the value of a variable to adjust some eventual imperfections of the object to take. To do this, I have to turn the key in manual position, change the variable, turn again the key, engage motors, reset robot position etc etc. So, is there a simple way to send a command to change that variable without doing the above actions? Something like an UDP message or something like that.
Many thanks in advance,
Andrea
To solve this in the easiest possible way I would make the operator press one of the physical buttons on the FP, e.g. button 4. This button is setup to set a "fake" digital output to 1. In your program loop (or background task if you have that option) I would check if the output signal is 1 and if so, start a menu like a simple UIMessageBox or UINumEntry. When operator is done changing the value, the output is set back to 0 in the rapid code.
It's a solution from the 80's but it works :-)
To create a "fake" digital signal, just leave the device and device map field empty...

Well robots can be dangerous so checking local presence is a good thing if you ask me, but I agree it’s annoying.

Right, but I'm talking about the develop phase with the controller in manual mode0
