Controlling conveyor tracking with SC

THOD

Hello,

I have been working on getting up to speed with the SC of RS.  I have a system where I want to work on a moving workobject using conveyor tracking but when the box hits the SC sensor I want to stop moving the conveyor.  I tried to use the JointMover but I didn't have any luck.

Any thoughts?

Am I being dumb on this or is it just not able to be done?  I would appreciate some type of feedback.  If I am being dumb please just let me know.

Hi THOD,

The current support we have in RS for the RobotWare option 'Conveyor Tracking' does not support stopping the conveyor. That would require writing your own Smart Component in Visual Studio using so-called code-behind. Please get touch with our Developer Support if you are interested in this option. You local ABB Robotics Service representative can help you.
