UOP Wiring

    Hello, I have a new LR Mate 200ic with R30iA controller. Robot controller is stand alone unit, there is no PLC connect to it. I have several TP programs and would like to install an UOP panel that has: Start push button, reset push button and green light, red light when fault, ect...
    The question is, how do i do the wiring for those push button and light?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello,
    we use DI's and DO's for almost the same... Buttons (we use PC with IO card, but hardware doesn't matter) and lights are connected to chosen IO's and in UOP config are are all signals associated with appropriate DI and DO.
    it seems like this

    DI Card setup:
    1-27, Rack 1, Slot 1
    28-512, UNASG

    DI's assignment
    DI 28 - Cycle Stop
    DI 29 - Fault Reset
    DI 30 - Start
    DI 31 - Enable
    DI 32 - RSR0001

    UOP In setup
    1-3, Rack 35, Slot 1, Start 1 (always on)
    4-6, Rack 1, Slot 1, Start 28 (Cycle Stop, Fault Reset, Start)
    7-7, UNASG
    8-9, Rack 1, Slot 1, Start 31 (Enable, RSR0001)

    same situation with outputs...
    Also you will have to enable UI signals in system configuration

    hope this helps a bit

    Thanks to Sergei and Kabi.

    The reason we're adding operator control box is we have mulitiple product that run with mutiple programs (so operator able to start program 1, 2,3, ect..) by using push button switch. and we're constantly changing product every 5 mins.

    Is there better way to automated or using main program to call subprogram?

    Thanks all for your help!!!

    Hi robo1,

    It would be a good idea to consider using 1 main program that just runs..... Then use a main program loop to check and see if a certain input is 'high' then call the appropriate sub program that contains your motion.

    There a a few ways you can use a few of your DI (digital inputs).
    #1 - Say you used DI17,18,19,20, 21. If you used a direct connection from the switchs on the user panel and direct connected them to the robot...then you have 5 seperate programs you can call at the completion of each cycle. This is the least efficient method.

    #2 - With the same 5 inputs, assigned as a group input, you now have a possible 31 programs you can select to run. This is binary coded decimal tat you would prefer to drive from a PLC. This is a much more efficient way. Then in your main program loop you ask the question..
    LBL[100: main loop]
    IF GI[1:prog select] = 1,
    CALL motion1program
    IF IF GI[1:prog select] = 2,
    CALL motion2program

    etc....

    IF IF GI[1:prog select] = 0,JMP LBL[100]

    Hope this helps -Eric

    Thanks Everyone and Eric for your help.

    I've managed and wiring as method #1 as Eric decribed below. it works. Now we're trying to integrating barcode scanner and hoping we can scan barcode (1 and 2D) to call up specific motion program.

    Could anyone help i would go about to implement this?

    I did some research and have had talked to Funuc support. They told me that i can purchase a camera which more than $2,000.00, camera cable $1200.00, option for barcode scanner is $500.00 as well as camera adaptor, lens Ect.... If i were to purchased barcode scanner option and i already have multiplexer.

    1. Could i just use keyence or cognex barcode scanner instead of camera to read barcode?
    2. If it's' ok to use other brand for scanner, do i need special cable for scanner to multiplexer?

    Thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Glad to help..


    I would imagine that if you used any vision system (external to robot) , then you could get an output that would indicate pass/fail or type 1, type2...etc. Use those outputs and connect them to DI on the robot. Then program the code so that in a decision loop, you decide what motion action to take based upon that DI that went 'high'.

    Yes, We're having 2/3D Irvision system with multiplexer. Currently 1 set of camera dedicated to 3D laser. because our objects are different in height. That's why we're thinking to add additional camera or barcode reader to call specific program.

    I'm so clear/or understanding how do we obtain a vision signal output and connecting to the DI. if we were to use Fanuc Irvision system. if there is a way please help!!!

    Thank you very much. Hope you're all having a Good Friday!

    Camera is fixed mount and perdendicular to the conveyor. Reason for us not to mount camera on the robot because we're moving every fast application (1.5 second per cycle). And we're currently using Single 2D vision process NOT Error Proof. Also we're really MUST use barcode reader to ensure that each object must read and ensure there is not different object being mixed during the process. If it does appeared reading wrong barcode, we'll stop the process.

    Thanks,

    If iRVision barcode reader does not work due to different height of the parts, probably, you need a separate barcode reader and program it to interface to discrete robot io or buy a Fanuc ethernet/ip scanner option and a barcode reader that can be recognized by the same protocol.

    I've change subject to barcode reader.

    Could i able to use barcode reader that connect to PC then send data to robot controller to turn on either Flag, string, words or DI then use those signal to call specific proram?

    If so, how i'm going to communicate between pc and robot controller?

    Thanks,
