When this happens, I just hand everything over, and get them to give me a call when they've stopped measuring dick sizes.

LOL 😂. Thanks everyone for your responses . They were very helpful .

I actually did showed all of your responses to both of them . The lead Mechanical engineer told me that I didn't state the fact that the main control is done on the pc running pcdk ( Just reg r/w along with a pendant script) and that I should be more clear (LOL 😂).

He apparently believes that it's non standard and all control should be on pendant .

He also seems to hate a software I've written that creates relative joint animation/sequences once and then you can fit or stretch them to any position.

He says it should be one pendant .

Yeah that's exactly how it works. The positions sent are offsets of the workspace's 3d bounding box .

We're only stuck in the part that "it's industry's standard to have everything in the pendant" LOL 😂

Hello.

We have a pick and place robot including computer vision system running on PC.

The vision system uses pcdk to write a single position register at a time to a TP script running on pendant endlessly.

Now our "issue" :

2 mechanical engineers claim that all movement commands should be implemented on the pendant and create program for every single movement , which is

impossible since our vision service is sending position data constantly via pcdk .

They also claim that this goes against the standard operational use of fanuc robots even if Fanuc agrees that it's acceptable solution.

What are your thoughts ? I personally do believe it's the classic case of non-programmers having word on implementation when clearly they shouldn't...but I would love some feedback especially from people that work in the industry.

Thanks.
