(2) Explanation <strong>of</strong> operation<br />

Description Example<br />

[1] Enter a board type into the PC. Specify board 1.<br />

[2] The X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller moves the cartesian robot to the<br />

specified positions in accordance with the instructions<br />

from the PC.<br />

[3]<br />

Conditions<br />

Once the cartesian robot has moved to each specified<br />

position, the camera takes measurement.<br />

The robot moves to the pre-registered<br />

points (A, B and C) sequentially.<br />

Measurement is taken at positions A, B<br />

and C, respectively.<br />

� This system uses a X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller <strong>of</strong> K (general-purpose) type. (Take note that the compact J type cannot<br />

accept an extended SIO board.)<br />

� The X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller communicates with the PC via RS232C using the optional SIO board installed in the<br />

controller.<br />

� A communication program has been created and installed in the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller. All operations <strong>of</strong> the cartesian<br />

robot are performed using the program in the PC.<br />

How to set the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller and PC comprising this system is explained below.<br />

<strong>Communication</strong> Settings<br />

The flow <strong>of</strong> setting RS232C communication between the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller and PC is specified below.<br />

Connect the devices<br />

Connect the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller with the PC using a RS232C communication cable.<br />

Set the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller<br />

Set X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller parameters.<br />

Set the PC<br />

Specify communication settings on the PC.<br />

Perform a line test<br />

Input the power to the connected devices and perform a line test.<br />

Start the system<br />

Start the PC program to start the system.<br />

Free Protocol <strong>Communication</strong> (RS232C)<br />

Refer to p. 54.<br />

To perform serial communication between the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller and a peripheral, use an optional SIO board if RS422/485<br />

communication is desired or when multiple communication channels will be used.<br />

A SIO board is installed in the extension slot <strong>of</strong> the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller, so only the K (general-purpose) type can be used for<br />

this application.<br />

When a SIO board is used, the X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller performs free protocol communication. This means that the X-<strong>SEL</strong><br />

controller can communicate with devices specified any protocol. (A <strong>SEL</strong> communication program is created and run in the<br />

X-<strong>SEL</strong> controller.)
