Hello to all.
I was wondering.
I have a welding source connected to the YRC1000.
It give's me information when a welding error occurs. (gas failure, wire failure, voltage failure, ....)
These signals are also available as general inputs and outputs in the YRC1000 to send to an external PLC so that the entire machine knows when there is a problem.
However,
If I program the robot to weld a line from point A to point B I could do the following:
If input.... = on then set output.... = on (check welding errors)
movement lines to point A
arc on command
movement to point B
arc off command
If input.... = on then set output.... = on (check welding errors)
However if I would do it like this, the robot would check the inputs before and afther the weld which is no use.
Can i check an input and send an output during welding (because the robot reads the program line by line).
Hope this make sense
