I/O Help

Hey Guys,

 

I am really new to robot studio and i am having my difficulties and i would appriciate if someone could help me out.

I created a Convoyer system that moves a Box From A to B. At Location B there is a Sensor that stopps the Box. If the Box is removed a new one will be copied and moves towards the sensor. This is ofcourse 1 Smart Component.

I added this to my IRB_120. Now what i want to do is that the Robot Starts moving only if the box is infront of the Sensor. So i in my Logic Design i see the DO of my Convoyer Sensor but where can i define any Inputs into my Robot so that i can use it in Rapid Programming language like this: WaitDO di...., 1 then movej ....

 

Thanks for the help

hello,

 

you can find this example in the robotstudio tutorials on abb site :

http://www.abb.com/product/ap/seitp327/ff3b8e1096dfb404c125798a005237a0.aspx

choose tutorial : smart component - setup simulation.

 

you have to make a digital output in your smart component when the box is at the sensor

you have to declare an input in your robot to wait for

then in "simulation/station logic" in "signals and connections"you have to interconnect the DO from your smart component to the input of the robot

 

then in your robotprogram you add a line like :

waitdi DiBoxReady,1;

 

Hope you get it to work

I am so close to getting it to work...

the only problem i am having is:

How to add a DI to my Robot?

When i want to make the connection from the DO to the Robot i do not have a DI signal on my Robot. Where do i create a new Signal on my Robot!!

Thanks for the help
