what do different SMBs do?

  • We have IRB6600 robot. After studying the print, I see there are R1.SMB, R1.SMB1-2, R1.SMB4-6, R2.SMB.


    It sounds like each of the 6 axis has feedback resolver that communicate talks to the R1.SMB1-2 & R1.SMB4-6.


    But what does R1.SMB and R2.SMB do?


    One of them talks to the Axis Computer right? Which one?


    Thanks.

  • The R1.SMB is the connection on the base of the robot. Yes its the communication to Axis Computer


    The R2.SMB is the connection on the SMB board, the same communication coming from the R1.SMB through the internal cable.
