Question for you folks...
Is there a way to force the simulation in MotoSIM EG-VRC to run in realtime? I would like to make the controllers keep time with reality so that what is seen on the screen is the same as what would occur on the production floor.
I can get it close by adjusting the settings under the Heart Beat icon, refresh interval settings window, but would like it to be more accurate.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your attention!

Good to have you back helldorado!

Please disregard the original post, I just figured it out.
The two cards need to be "daisychained" together in series with the communitcation cable and the power cable. Then the terminating resistor needs to go in the second USB slot on the last card in the chain. Boot in maintenance mode and change security level to management. Then go to SETUP menu and IO Module, hit Enter until "MODIFY?" box appears, then choose yes.Thanks.

Hey folks, has anyone ever used two analog YEW cards before? How do you hook them up so that the controller recognizes both cards? Are there any settings that need to be changed in the robot itself? I boot up in maintenance mode and only see the one card in the IO Module.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Well we wanted to eliminate the possibility of a bad analog card so we swapped it into another DX100 robot controller, and it responded appropriately to various voltages, and in the correct M600 register. (We made a connector that runs directly from the analog output channel 1 into the analog input channel 1 so that we could test signals and see the response in the M600 register). However, in the robot we want to use for this application we see a reaction to the analog input channel 1 in the 601 register and the 600 register is a static number that doesn't change. Shouldn't we see the value in M600? Also the numbers in the M601 register are not predictable and are jumping around randomly. Any ideas about why this could be happening?

Ran into an issue with the scaling factor parameter. That is the parameter S1ExG 026 is not available on our robot even in Yaskawa Mode. There is not even a category for S1E parameters. Any ideas here? Is that the right scaling factor parameter? Or maybe we need to have the robot setup differently?
Also the M600 register value does not change even though we are getting varying voltages on the leads with the multimeter? Once we get to 5 Volts our value in M600 register is maxed out at 32768. Is the scaling factor what allows us to acheive +- 10 Volts?
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated! -
This is great stuff, thank you both!
I will use the inputs along with a 'move until' command to stop the robot's movement once a certain force is exerted on a part. I will need to do some experimentation to figure out just how much force that needs to be, but this will get me on the right path for sure.
Thanks again. -
Greetings,
I have a question regarding the use of analog inputs to control a DX100 robot. When an analog signal is sent to the controller via the YEW01-E card, where does it show up in the pendant, and how can I access it in a job? I don't see an AIN command in the inform list? Is there some parameter or function that is required? The robot is setup as general operation.
Thank you.
