I'm currently trying to reproduce my robotic cell in handlingPro, but I have difficulty to add a 7th axis for a conveyor.
I'm not trying to reproduce exactly the cell because our 7th axes is control by a xtradive drive and rs232 communication with a program in karel and I know it's not the best practice, but the cell was made by teachers 8 years ago and since I inherited the project (and no one can help from who created the cell) and we are a non-profit organization, it's not an option to buy motion group or extended axis with the actual robot right now. The goal here is only to reproduce the behaviour and communicate with the PLC and the simulation (already found the solution) for generating data for research purposes.
The robot is a LR Mate 200iC/5L.
I added this option in the robot serialization:
- Multi-Group Motion (J601)
- Extended Axis Control (J518)
I tried to follow these 2 videos:
The problem is that I don't have general positioner (like video 1) when I try to configure the robot in Additional Motion Groups (but there is an Independent Axes (H895))
The second problem is that I don't have Rail unit creator in Tools (like in video 2).
I know that I can configure a motor in controlled start, and I tried it. A motor was added in group 2, and I could control it in the teach pendent, but the robot was not moving and I'm not sure if the configuration was right.
The current conveyor motor specs are:
PN: SGMAH-04AAF41
W: 400
V: 200
A: 2.8
NM: 1.27
r/min: 3000
Ins. B
There is another simulation that as be done by a teacher with Anylogic if you want to see how it works: https://cloud.anylogic.com/model/0504eb02…c?mode=SETTINGS
