TriggJ Axis-wise robot movements with events<br />

Examples<br />

Arguments<br />

TriggJ (Trigg Joint) is used to set output signals and/or run interrupt routines at fixed<br />

positions, at the same time as the robot is moving on a circular path.<br />

One or more (max. 4) events can be defined using the instructions TriggIO, TriggEquip<br />

or TriggInt and afterwards these definitions are referred to in the instruction TriggJ.<br />

VAR triggdata gunon;<br />

TriggIO gunon, 0 \Start \DOp:=gun, on;<br />

MoveL p1, v500, z50, gun1;<br />

TriggJ p2, v500, gunon, fine, gun1;<br />

The digital output signal gun is set when the robot’s TCP passes the midpoint of<br />

the corner path of the point p1.<br />

Start point p1<br />

TriggJ p2, v500,gunon, fine, gun1;<br />

Figure 1 Example of fixed-position IO event.<br />

The output signal gun is set to on<br />

when the robot’s TCP is here<br />

End point p2<br />

Zone Tool [ \WObj ]<br />

[ \Conc ] (Concurrent) Data type: switch<br />

Subsequent logical instructions are executed while the robot is moving. This<br />

argument is used to shorten the cycle time when, for example, communicating<br />

with external equipment, if synchronisation is not required. It can also be used<br />

to tune the execution of the robot path, to avoid warning 50024 Corner path<br />

failure or error 40082 Deceleration limit.<br />

Using the argument \Conc, the number of movement instructions in succession<br />

is limited to 5. In a program section that includes StorePath-RestoPath, movement<br />

instructions with the argument \Conc are not permitted.<br />
