Robot Configuration and System Connection

ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ລະບົບ

• This section describes the connection of a MachineMotion V2 to a Fanuc robot controller by way of the Robot Safety Module, to program the robot through MachineLogic. The Robot Safety Module acts as a 3-port Ethernet switch to enable seamless communication between the MachineMotion, the pendant, and the robot controller (see Figure 1).
• Make sure that the required safety components are properly connected.
• Follow the steps detailed in the Robot Safety Module User Manual.

A typical installation (Figure 1) will require the following components:

• MachineMotion Pendant V3
  • Firmware Version v3.4 or later
• E-Stop Module with Reset
• Robot Safety Module
• Fanuc CRX robot controller (R-30iB Mini Plus)
• MachineMotion 2 – Four Drive or MachineMotion 2 – One Drive
  • Firmware Version v2.14.0 or later
• 3 x MachineMotion 2 Safety Extension Cable – 5m (CE-CA-102-5001)

ໝາຍເຫດ: If your system has more than one controller set up in a Multi-Controller configuration, the safety chain, which includes the Robot Safety Module and the Pendan,t must be connected to the parent controller.

Figure 1. Safety Components Connection

Configuring Your Robot
Following the connection of all required components, configure the robot controller as detailed in the steps below:

ຂັ້ນຕອນເບື້ອງຕົ້ນ

Backup and Restore your Controller
It is normally good practice to back up your controller to ensure you can always come back to a known functional version of your controller.
Backup creation Steps

1. FCTN → Abort All
2. Menu → 7 File → Util → Set device → 6 USB Disk
3. You should have UD1 on the top left.
4. Make sure you don’t have a robot configured on your MachineMotion Pendant before continuing.
5. Util – 4 Make DIR – Define the name you need (e.g., BackUp Controller) – G.O
6. You should have on the top left UD1/“Name you chose”.
7. Backup → 8 All of Above → YES → Then wait until completion.

Restore your Backup Steps

1. Obtain a Thumb Drive:
   • Obtain a thumb drive with a previous MD backup for the robot you’re working on.
2. Insert the Thumb Drive:
   • Insert the thumb drive into either the USB port in the black door on the controller (UD1:) or the USB port on the right side of the teach pendant (UT1:).
3. Perform a Controlled Start:
   • Cycle power to the controller.
   • As soon as the robot starts to power back up, hold PREV and NEXT on the teach pendant to be taken to the Configuration Menu.
   • Type 3 and press ENTER to initiate a Controlled Start.
4. ເຂົ້າເຖິງ File ເມນູ:
   • Once the teach pendant boots back up, press the MENU button, then select File -> File.
   • ສຸດ FILE menu, press F5 [UTIL]. If [UTIL] is not shown above F5, press NEXT until [UTIL] is shown and then press F5.
   • Select Set Device.
   • Select either USB Disk (UD1:) or USB on TP (UT1:), depending on where you inserted your thumb drive.
   • Navigate to the directory in which your MD backup is stored. If no files or directories are shown, you will have to press ENTER on (* * (all files)) to see the thumb drive’s contents.
5. Restore the Backup:
   • If [RESTOR] is not shown above F4, press FCTN, then select RESTORE/BACKUP to toggle between restore and backup.
   • Press F4 [RESTOR].
   • Select the type of restore action that you want:
     • ລະບົບ files (system variables, servo parameter data, and mastering data) TP programs (.TP, .DF, and .MN files)
     • Application (“Non-program application files”.
     • Applic.-TP (All of the above, except system files)
     • Vision data
     • All of above
6. Confirm and Start Restore:
   • You will be prompted with “Restore from UT1: (or UD1:) (OVERWRT)?”. Press F4 YES.
   • The TP will show “Accessing device. PREV to exit.” for about 30-60 seconds, then the restore will commence. Once it begins, typical restore time is ~2-6 minutes, depending on the contents of your robot.
   • ເປັນຈໍານວນຫຼາຍ files as possible will be restored. Once the restore is complete, you will need to perform a Cold Start.
7. Perform a Cold Start:
   • Press FCTN.
   • Select START (COLD).
