D controller speed limit

[lucalenardi]

Hi.

The robot seems quite slow. I currently have the monitor speed at 100% and the speed statement set at 100% in a few line of AS code.

Anyway, the speed is not sufficient, I am wondering if it's possible to increment the speed over the 100 limit (i.e. 145% for example).

The manual says that there is a speed limit somewhere that could be disabled, but I don't know where.

Thanks.

On the c-controller it was called {speed designation limit release} hidden in the 199 menu, under one of the options. Turn it on and you can set the override speed to 999%. If its still there, you will have to hunt around for it.

But,
I wonder why it's slow?  Maybe use {speed 100 always} instead of speed 100 (which only effects the next motion statement and then returns the speed to the last value of {speed always}.
 
ALSO

I remember programing the old AD controller, and if the robot was asked to go faster than it could physically go, it would actually slow down dramatically! (this may have been the result of a system switch or zspec but it was really happening  for sure). I once saved 10 seconds off of cycle time by lowering the override (monitor) speed form 100% to 60%-->> TRUE!

ALSO,

If you have a desired cycle time make sure the robot is smooth, open up the accuracy
where you can. Program with more room and then let the RBT round off the corner path zone.

Blend your orientation changes over many steps; asking joint 6 to move 170* while the TCP only moves a foot will really slow down that move.

Good luck, getting cycle time is an art form, smooth is fast!

Thanks.

I'm sorry but I cannot find the 199 menu. How can I access the switch using the terminal?

In MFP write 199 function and put password.
