Hello all,
I'm working on an iRPickTool application and could use use some tips on a couple items I am fuzzy on. I have reviewed the manual and several webinars and have a good understanding of the basic operation. I am using the Plug & Play option with three robots to pick parts from an infeed conveyor and place them in a tray on an outfeed conveyor.
1. I may want to send a tray to a downstream reject station if it is damaged, or maybe I had a gripper part detection fault and I want to inspect the case. I see how I can remove the case from the queue, but how can I tag and track this 'removed' tray so I can hand it off to the downstream conveyor with a reject signal, like a DO?
2. If the downstream area is full, and the most downstream case has been filled, I will want to stop the outfeed conveyor. Is there a variable I can inspect or someway to know this filled case is at the downstream boundary so I can run the case conveyor until this point and then send an output to the PLC to stop it?
Thank you for any input. I reviewed the forum and did not catch anything related to this, apologies if I missed it.
Thx,
Mike
