SPOT Instruction Parameters

Hi. I have a robot which performs Spot welding operations. I am new to this kind of operation so I'm trying to understand how does it work. So, I took a peak into one of the programs for welding and I encountered the SPOT instruction in one of the lines. It goes like this:

33:	L P[11] 800mm/sec CNT100
  :	SPOT[SD=10, P=4, t=2.9, S=7, ED=10]

So, I understand that the parameters have the following meaning:

• SD = Start Distance Schedule
• P = Pressure number
• t = thickness value in mm
• S = Schedule number
• ED = End Distance schedule

Those meanings come from the TeachPendant in Roboguide, I got to read the SpotTool Operator's manual and the parameters are different from the ones I have in the TP, hence my question.

Howerver, I'm unable to find where those "schedules" are configured. I've tried the following menus:

• "MENU -> SETUP -> Spot Equip"
• "MENU -> SETUP -> Spot Adv fctns"

But I just can't find that configuration. Could you help me find out the route to configure those schedules, please?

Quote from ssaul

SD, ED, and P can be found on the "data" key on the teach pendant.
t = thickness value in mm, which you configure in menu-setup-servogun/thickness check.
And finally, "S = Schedule number" is generally managed using the welding equipment's interface.

Thanks a lot, Saul. So, if my understanding is correct, every time I have a SPOT Instruction, the number for "S=" references the schedule number in my welding controller, right?

For example, this line:

:	L P[11] 800mm/sec CNT100
:	SPOT[SD=10, P=4, t=2.9, S=7, ED=10]

If I wish to know the parameters for this spot welding, I should check the Schedule #7 in the welding equipment's interface, right?

Thanks in advance!
