Hello. I think you have set it up with workvisual. Are you using ConveyorTech package? If so you should have there a manual how to set it up.
-
the convoyertech doesnt mention how to check if it is connected or it just shows how to plug it in
-
OK,i don't have the conveyor tech manual to check. I know when I set up an external axis, I have to setup that axis in workvisual and then I can read motor positon but also I can move that axis. If I'm correct you just need to read position of the resolver. Did you try the drive configuration in workvisual?
-
Maybe you can see the E1 position where you can also see the robot positions.
-
I am not aware of a way to read raw poaition value - unless you connect it 8n place of one of motor resolvers and that will cause loss of mastering.
To see position value (s) one must follow configuration in the manual including calibration, triggering, etc. When conveyor tech is installed you also get another program module template.

Hello. I have found conveyorTech manual for KRC4, and there should be signal available $POS_TRACKER_ERROR for checking connection in the $machine.dat if an electrical connection to a position tracker(resolver on the conveyor) is broken.
This description is directly from the manual. -
thanks that really helped me a lot . i have conveyortech 5.1 doc that does'nt show me how to add a conveyor and a resolver to the Wv's project but when i'cheked with conveyortech 6.0 doc i found that is clearly shown in it ...BUT the problem now that i dont have the conveyor catalogues to add it can you tell me where can i find it on the net
-
You wont be able to find this catalogs on the net. Maybe you can write to KUKA support where you bought the robot and the conveyorTech package and they will send you catalogs and support you.
