Question about zones

Hello I wondering if it is possible to activate a zone without moving the robot after a warm start. Even if the TCP is inside the world zone the signal is 0 until i jog the robot a bit, only then does the robot recognizes that it is within the zone. Also when changing TCP, the robot has to be moved before it starts checking if the new TCP is within the zone. /Pav

  • WorldZone Signals during restart (DSE8297) When the controller is restarted the world zone status will be set to outside during start-up. At first MOTORS ON after warm start the world zone status will be updated correctly. If the robot is moved during MOTORS OFF the world zone status will not be updated until next MOTORS ON order. Also a hard emergency stop (not SoftAS, SoftGS or SoftES) can result in an erroneous world zone status since the robot may move in or out of a zone during the stopping movement without the world zone signals being updated. The world zone signals will also in this case be correctly updated after a MOTORS ON order. NOTE! This is not a new behaviour. The world zone functionality has always behaved like this.
