Remote Error Clear with PLC

    • New

    I need to remotely clear errors on a 4 axis denso Robot from Denso connected to a Beckhoff PLC.
    The error should be displayed in the TwinCAT HMI and then a manual Bool Signal (In the HMI) should be used to clear that error.
    The robot is a SCARA Robot 4-axis (Model No.: HSR065A1-N20-NNN), controller: RC8A, and the PLC is a Beckhoff C6015-0020.

    My question is: Is it possible?
    If yes, is there any standard way or does it need to be coded?

    It is possible and it needs to be coded using the ClrErr command in a supervisory program.

    In our applications the supervisory program monitors both SysState and the error output. We can then send a discreet (or EIP depending) "reset" signal form the PLC to trigger ClrErr.

    Properly coded your PLC and a supervisory program can reset an error, turn on the motor, and start program(s) running to initialize your robot and start it cycling. That way you are not tied to the use of the robot pendant.
