Camera - ABB Robot Interface

dhyan

Dear All

        We usually use only DSQC652 for Digital Sensor - Robot interfacing.
Is there anyone know, how to built a "Camera - Robot" Interface?
The main goal is to update the robtarget data of the robot (offset x, y, z) by "x, y, z" data that has been sent by camera (capture of the camera) before.

        By ABB Complete Manual that I have read, robotware option "PC Interface" can only sent the data from the robot to the Personal Computer, and not on opposite way.
Maybe, if we can sent the data from camera to PC and the PC process that data, then PC will sent that data to IRC5.
Can "PC Interface" do that?

        Thank you for your respon.
Best Regard

Hi

 

PC Interface includes also the option Socket Messaging. With that you can use TCP/IP sockets to send string messages in both directions. This way you can communicate with the PC or if you have an "intelligent" vision system e.g. Cognex camera, you can communicate also directly with the vision system (if the vision system supports ethernet based TCP/IP socket messaging).

 

If you have read about PC interface from Application Manual - Robot Communication and I/O control, you are able to find some more info from Socket Messaging [616-1] from the same manual. I hope this will help you further.

Dear Osku

        Thank you very much for your information. I have realized that "Socket Messaging" is included on "PC Interface" option. I think I will try this way.

        One more, thanks for your support.
