Remote start program?

[Robotic5]

Hello,

We have an injection moulding machine combined with an ABB robot.
Now i want to know if it's possible to start the robot program from the plc from the injection machine.

Hi,

U can use system inputs.
"System parameters -> IO Signals ->System Inputs "

U need to connect ur digital input signal to "MotOnStart" action for starting robot program from PLC. For example if you want to set program pointer to main u should use "StartMain" action.

After connecting ur signals to ur digital IO card u need to modify ur EIO.cfg file like that:


SYSSIG_IN:

      -Signal "diPrgStart" -Action "MotOnStart"

      -Signal "diPrgStop" -Action "Stop"

      -Signal "diResetError" -Action "ResetError"

      -Signal "diResetEStop" -Action "ResetEstop"

      -Signal "diMotorOff" -Action "MotorOff"

      -Signal "diStartMain" -Action "StartMain"

      -Signal "diMotorOn" -Action "MotorOn"
