Process Time Calculation

rohitvasudev

Dear Sir,

I have completed simulation on an industrial component on robotstudio. Now I want to optimize the cycle time. How can I vary process time with variation of speed. Please Guide me.

Thanks.

Dear Vasudeva
        This is the program example of how to calculate the cycle time :

MODULE MainModule
........
VAR clock clk1
VAR num clk01
........

PROC main( )
        ........
        ........
        rResetClk;
        rStartClk;
        ........
        ........ (robot movement on 1 cycle)
        .......
        rStopClk;
        rShowClkTime;
        .......
ENDPROC

Local PROC rResetClk ( )
        clk Reset clk1;
ENDPROC

Local PROC rStopClk ( )

        clk Stop clk1;

ENDPROC

Local PROC rStartClk ( )

        clk Start clk1;

ENDPROC

Local PROC rShowClkTime ( )

        clk01 := clk Read (clk1);
        TPWrite "Cycle Time Robot is = " 
um := clk01;

ENDPROC
........
........

        I hope this will help

I have tried various ways to calculate time with robostudio for my pallet wrapper equipment. But no luck with it. I need someone to help me here, please. allanjames2011-06-28 14:32:11

To make it virtual, you will need to make a virtual controller.  The other commenter seems to think you already have a VC setup, or you are running on active equipment.  But the way you are writing, it sounds to me like you are not running any active process.  As to how to set up a VC, I don't remember.  There are guides available on google, but not the most straight forward.
