Adding sensor in roboguide

Quote from Austin

Hello Everyone ,

Iam new to the robotics field.

Is it possible to add sensors in robo guide so that i can get an input value without connecting a PLC ?

Thanks

Hello,

Can you share more informations?

- Type of sensor ?

- What sensor detects ?

- Where it is mounted ?

In Robo Guide you have an option of using Collision Detection triggering specific DI

Not sure if you can do this, but I'm sure someone here will know.

Here's a quick and dirty way to simulate a signal using Flags. In this example Flag [1] would be your imaginary digital input signal and would turn on after you open your grippers to place the part. You can then call this flag in other jobs. An example being that you turn it off if you have a pick from table program as well. Again - very quick and dirty if you only need one or a couple signals.

1:

2: !PLACE PART ON TABLE ;

3:J P[1] 100% FINE ;

4: !OPEN GRIPPERS ;

5: RO[7:OPEN GRIPPERS]=ON ;

6:

7: !MOCK PART PRESENT SIGNAL ;

8: F[1:PART PRESENT SIGNAL]=(ON) ;

9:

10: !RETREAT FROM TABLE ;

11:J P[2] 100% FINE ;
