Creating a track from a mechanism
Hello,
I need to create a system with an inverted IRB6620 mounted to a Gudel gantry integrated as a track motion. I've been gathering all the help files and samples I can find to try sorting this out.
First question is whether anyone can point to info about creating a track from a mechanism. I think I need to have a .cfg file for the controller to recognize the mechanism as a track.
Secondly: I was trying to follow the example for creating a system with one robot and a track motion (using the New Controller System Wizard and substituting a IRB6620 for the IRB4400 in the example ). In the last step (DriveModule1 / Additional axes configuration) there is no listing for the IRB6620 robots. Any suggestions what selections might work here?
Thanks, and best regards,
Bob

Hello,
If the mechanism is made as an "External Axis" in the "Create Mechanism" tool, you can use it as a track. But it is correct that you need a .cfg file for the track. These files comes with the RS installation. In the folder "C:Program FilesABB Industrial ITRobotics ITRobotStudioABB LibraryTracks" you will find cfg files for different track lengths and for different tasks (if you have a MultiMove system).
For the additional axes configuration, you can select a drive module for IRB 6600 (Drive Win pos Y2)
