Set the robot's operating range

    • New

    Hello everyone.

    I have RS013N robot with F01 controller. The program is complete, now the robot has gone into production operation.

    But for safety reasons, I want to limit the robot's operating range in case someone controls the robot to any position and then the robot move to its original position, it will collide with another mechanism.

    I have searched the documentation but have not found any mention of this issue. Is there any solution?

    Thanks in advance

    You need to build your own program to detect if the robot moved in manual mode. For this you need a background program.
    Blocking the automatic start requires:
    - The position where the robot was when the automatic ended;
    - The allowed movement distance to the original position;
    - Robot at the home position, so the start is not blocked;

    Thanks for your reply

    Does the robot have built-in operation range limit functionality (hardware or software)??

    It has ULIMIT (upper limit) and LLIMIT (lower limit) and from aux functions -->
    Advanced settings ---> 7. Motion limit

    Thank you

    Seems that the motion limit function is not suitable for my robot because it has to rotate a lot and the working area is very wide

    Not advisable to do this after deploying as adjusting motion limits could impact on existing positional calculations if being used.

    ULIMIT and LLIMIT can be used as commands though, they are not just settings, so check the AS Language manual for these as you may be able to integrate them as you require.

    Cubic S may have been better to use in this instance.

    As Alexandru mentioned if this is a programmable feature you are looking at then it will be quite complex as you are in fact going to have to code in very specific checks of ranges using DECOMPOSE, DEST as well as other commands to achieve.
