YRC1000 GP8 IF THEN question

    Hello everyone,

    Great forum here, lots of info!

    I am new to motoman robots. Please be patient with my inexperience.

    I am trying to use the YRC1000 teach pendant to program a GP8 robot. I would like to execute a sequence using the IF THEN command. The sequence will execute when IN#2 AND IN#3 are on. When I try to insert IF THEN from the inform list, I can find where to change the IN# to other types of variables, etc. But unable to find how to add multiple IN# or insert AND.

    Essentially I wish to add “IF( IN#(2)=ON AND IN#(3)=ON ) THEN” to the job.

    I have temporarily achieved multiple conditions by nesting an IF IN#3 THEN within an IF IN#2 THEN command, but it’s kinda messy.

    I figure that I could use notepad to modify the program to insert AND into an IF THEN statement but there must be something I’m missing via the teach pendant. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Best regards,

    Approved the thread.

    Going off of memory here. When you select the IFTHEN from the Inform List, press Select again. This is where you found the other types of variables. Cursor to the far right. The cursor will be under the r in the word Operator. That’s the from memory part, what letter is it under. Press Select. A box appears with AND, OR, and NON. You may not see Operator if your font size is huge. May have to change it to smaller if you don’t see Operator.

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.
