  • Page 21: Connecting The Power Supply

    If the power supply voltage drops below the above range during operation, the alarm circuit will work and return the SRCP controller to the initial state the same as just after power-on, or stop operation. To avoid this problem, use a regulated power supply with voltage fluctuations of less than ±10%.

  • Page 22: Installing An External Leakage Breaker

    To ensure safety, a circuit protector must be installed in the power supply connection section of the robot controller. An inrush current, which might be from several to nearly 20 times higher than the rated current, flows at the instant that the SRCP controller is turned on or the robot motors start to operate.

  • Page 23: Installing Current Control Switches

    The SRCP controller can be operated either through the TPB programming box or through a PC (personal computer) equipped with an RS-232C terminal. When using the TPB, plug the TPB cable connector into the TPB connector of the SRCP controller. (Refer to "4-1-1 Connecting the TPB to the SRCP controller".) When using a PC, plug the RS-232C interface cable connector (25 pins) into the TPB connector of the SRCP controller.

    I/O INTERFACE The SRCP series has I/O interface connectors (EXT. CN and I/O. CN) as a standard feature. The EXT. CN is used for emergency stop input and 24V power input for I/O control. The I/O. CN consists of an interlock input, 7 dedicated command inputs, 3 dedicated outputs, 8 general-purpose inputs, 5 general-purpose outputs, feedback pulse outputs, etc.

    BUSY signal cannot turn off even after the command execution is complete. As long as the BUSY signal is on, the SRCP controller will not accept other dedicated command inputs or commands from the TPB or PC. Avoid operating the TPB while the SRCP controller is being operated through the I/O interface.

    Parameter Description The parameters are described in order below. CAUTION Parameters not displayed on the TPB screen are automatically set or optimized to match the robot type when the robot parameters are initialized. You usually do not have to change these parameter settings. If for some special reason you need to change or check these hidden parameters, use any of the following methods.
  • Page 62 5-2 Parameter Description PRM3: PRM4: PRM5: PRM6: Payload This specifies the total weight of the workpiece and tool attached to the robot. In cases where this weight varies, enter the maximum payload. Based on this parameter, the controller determines the optimum acceleration speed for the robot, so ensure that the correct payload is set.
  • Page 63 PRM7: I/O point movement command speed This parameter sets the movement speed to execute a point movement command (ABS- PT, INC-PT) and also determines the number of points that can be used with a point movement command.

    Strictly speaking, if the CPU is one unit, it executes two or more programs (tasks) while switching between them in an extremely short time almost as if they were being simultaneously executed. The SRCP controller uses this multi-task function to perform multiple tasks while switching the programs within a very short time (5ms maximum).

  • Page 185 (2)@RESET This returns the program execution step to the first step of the program selected with the '@SWI' statement, and turns all general-purpose outputs (DO0 to DO4) and memory output off. The "cur- rent position in the program" used as a reference for the relative movement command (MOVI) is initialized to the current position of the robot, and the point variable P is also cleared to 0.
  • Page 186 11-5 Communication Command Description (6)@X+, (@X-) (7)@XINC, (@XDEC) (8)@MOVD <X-axis position (mm)>,<speed> @X+ moves the robot to the + side and @X- to the - side based on the following equation. Movement distance = 1 × (PRM26/100) (mm) @XINC moves the robot to the + side and @XDEC to the - side at a speed calculated by the equation below.
  • Page 187 (9)@MOVA <point number>,<speed> Moves the robot to a position specified by a point number at a specified speed. Point number : This is a number assigned to each point (position data) and can be from 0 to 999 (a total of 1,000 points). Data for the point numbers can be edited with the @WRITE PNT statement.

  • Page 189 CAUTION The contents of the point variable P are held even when the SRCP is turned off. However, when the program is reset or when the program reset is applied for example by switching the execution program, the point variable P will be initialized to 0.
  • Page 190 • The MOVM statement performs calculation on the assumption that the robot operates on the Cartesian coordinate system. • Because only a single-axis robot is controlled with the SRCP, the actual movement is linear even if a 2- dimensional matrix is defined.
  • Page 191 (21)@CSEL <array element number> Specifies an array element for the counter array variable C to be used. Array element number : This is a number used to designate an array element for the counter array variable C, and can be from 0 to 31. The counter variable D can also be specified here as the array element.
