How to show Picture on Flexpendant?

7seven

Hello everyone,

got a little question for you!
I've got a cutting tool on my robot. For example, if i want to cut 10mm i need nozzle 100Amp, if i want to cut 20mm, i need a nozzle for 200Amp.

So, the cutting torch needs different nozzles for both cuts. Now i want to show a picture before we start cutting, which shows which parts the customer have to use for the cut.
Then he have to press ok when everything is fine.
It's kind a safety thing, you know...

I tried it like this:
I saved a picture in HOME directory
Rapid
answer := UIMessageBox (Header:= "Got the right parts?"Image:="100Amp.jpg";

That works, but the picture's maximum size is only 185x300 pixel !!!
That's by far too short, there are a lot of details and numbers on the pictures and you can't read it anymore by that size...

So i think now you know what my problem is!
Is there any another way to pop up a picture.

Best regards, "7"

Hello,

I recommend that you make a ScreenMaker application for this. You can create ScreenMaker appliacations in RobotStudio, and you will find plenty of tutorials about how to do it on the community: http://www.abb.com/product/ap/seitp327/0ffa2e42b182876fc12577360056f9a4.aspx

To launch the SM application on the FlexPendant you must have the option "FlexPendant Interface".

Hello, thanks for the answer!

Yeah i thought about the screenmaker, but if i do it that way, then i do it with the Robot Application Builder, but that's not what i want.

I don't want to use a screenmaker or RAB app, i just want to show a picture
