So-called Teach Pendant is used for controlling, configuring and programming this robot. It also contains three Ethernet ports - two of them are intended for a general use, the third one is reserved for connecting a digital camera. This cabinet is connected to the robot by two massive cable harnesses. For an ordinary person it seems as a quite large metal cabinet (dimensions about 50x50圆0 cm) which contains a control unit or other communication cards and input/output cards. R30iBPlus Mate Cabinet is used to control the robot and communication with the surrounding. It is a robotic arm weighing about 27 kg that is used to work in a protected environment (in a cage), as it can move at a speed of up to 4 m/s and has considerable force. Our OEM partner lent us Fanuc LR-Mate 200iD industrial robot with R30iBPlus Mate controller for testing. In many cases, the solution of reported malfunctions of robots was done in such a way that a serviceman cleaned the dirty sensor on the robot and it could continue working…
Why? Good diagnostics can save solving the service incidents at the customers (i.e., both time and money). With the growing number of deployments there also increases of important of good diagnostics. One of our OEM partners recently asked us to examine the possibilities of communication with robots, which are deployed at many of his customers in Slovakia. Robots are sophisticated devices generating large amount of information that can be used for diagnostics - such as information about the condition of drives and joints, the maintenance of components, and more.
