Hi, i'm currently using a DX100 controller and i am supposed to set up a cube.
Don't know much about it so any help could be useful.

Teach a cube
MENU
ROBOT
INTERFERENCESelect control group Generally is R1
Teach Method max/min or center position
If max/min , you will be teaching the two diametrically opposites corner of your cube Dimensions are in pulses
If center position, you will be teaching one point (the center of the cube) and the distance will be 1/2 of the cube side lengthTry one cube , then
MENU
I/O
SPECIFIC OUTPUTS
Search for Cub/Axis Intrf You will see cube 1 output on (if you taught cube 1)
Jog the robot gently until the output goes off (you are outside the cube) -
For the specific outputs, cube 1 is tied to specific output 57, cube 2 is tied to specific output 58, and so on....

There's a couple of ways you can use cubes. Here's some simple explanations.
1) IN A PROGRAM
put in a WAIT SOUT#(XX)=ON to make sure you are in a cube before proceeding in the program2) IN THE LADDER OF THE ROBOT, COMMUNICATING TO A PLC
There are signals in the robot such as IN CUBE 1, IN CUBE 2 or CUBE 1 INHIBIT and CUBE 2 INHIBIT. You can send these dedicated signals (which you will find in your wiring schematics from Yaskawa) back to your PLC to let the PLC know it is safe for some peripheral equipment (ie. press or positioner) to move as the robot TCP is in a certain area. You can also define a cube as a larger area and set the CUBE INHIBIT signal from stopping the TCP from going into that area.Just remember, cubes only monitor the TCP, not the whole robot. If you want the whole robot, you have to use FSU.
Hope this helps!
