TEACH POSITIONS (Fl)

From this screen you can control the robot movements directly and teachthe robot positions.Note that the controller (and not the PC) performs all the movements andthe recording and storing of the positions. SCORBASE serves as aninterface between the user and the controller.

In this window position recording work is carried out. For thatpurpose first step is to set the robot at a position. You can change theposition by the commands written on that window.After setting the robot at a position (by using that commands) press RP onkey board and you will get RECORD POSITION (1-100). on window,

then give it the position name like 1, 2, 3 etc.. If you want to check thepositions then press GP on key board and you will get GO POSITION onwindow then type position name like 1,2,3 . The robot will reach to thatposition

EDIT PROGRAM (F2)

This module lets you write and edit your robot programs. The programs arecreated by SCORBASE and maintained in the PC RAM.

On pressing F2 you will get EDIT PROGRAM screen there you candirectly write the program and edit the program. To see the program pressL and you will get a new window .Here you can edit the program.

P R O G R AM HAN D L I NG (F3)

This module enables you to save and load programs and positions tables

to and from disk(ette). It also lets you merge programs and positiontables.

Here you can SAVE, LOAD, DELETE the program . (Due to some faultin software there is some problem in saving the program. Then how to savethe program?There is a trick first write the file name ,then press ENTER key 3 times,itactivates all the options then press the keys for saving, loading or deletingthe program whatever you want).

RUN PROGRAM (F4)

This module enables you to run your program. Since the current programis maintained only in the PC, the commands which control robotmovement and I/O status are translated into the ACL format and sent

sequentially to the controller.HOME (F5)

This screen enables you to home the robot, and configure and home theperipheral equipment. Since the SCORBOT should be homed each timethe controller is turned on, begin each working session by first activatingthe Home screen and performing the necessary operations.

RUN CELL CONTROL (F6)

This module lets you run your SCORBASE program together with acomplete runtime screen display reporting the status of inputs and outputs.The report includes the names you assigned to the various I/O ports.This screen is used to assign names or text for both the on and off statesof each input and output port.

7. WAIT W 10TH OF SECOND

8. SET VARIABLE CP=CP +1

is in the range of 1-10.In the 4 th line it is instructed to go to position 1 at fast

speed (maximum possible speed).At position 1 the material to be carried is

placed (here it is wooden cube) and then CLOSE GRIPPER command is

given which picks the material. In the 6th line loop starts. Here it will go to

the position indicated by the variable CP .It will wait there for the specifiedtime as given by value of variable W.

In the 9th line there is a condition check using IF command. Here if the

desired position is reached then programme will move to next line else the

control will pass to 6th line using JUMP command. After reaching the

desired position the OG (OPEN GRIPPER) command is given and the

wooden cube is released. Then the robot is again sent back to position 7.

The above programme can be executed line by line , once at a time (onecycle) and in an infinite loop which has to be manually broken.It is decided

on the type of use needed.
