C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual

[ Note ]
Safety
The safety content described here applies only to operations with the robot unit and is not intended as a safety explanation for the whole system.
1 ENSURING SAFETY In order to ensure safety, all local, regional, municipal and national safety laws and regulations must be strictly observed. 1. The teaching and maintenance work on the robot must be carried out in accordance with labor safety laws and regulations. 2. The user should prepare safety regulations for working on the robot itself and observe these regulations responsibly. 3. In order to ensure safety, the following safety standards should be observed: JIS B8433, ISO10218, EN775, for robots used in production applications. 4. Safety administrators and full-time personnel should be assigned for work on the robot. In addition, a safety administrative system should be established as a means of providing thorough education regarding safety.
2 SAFETY IN GENERAL 1. The plant administrator should create safety and work regulations in consideration of structure of the line and peripheral equipment so that injuries from the robot are prevented. Moreover, appropriate steps should be taken so that safety education and work standards are created for the benefit of the workers. 2. Never use a Kawasaki Robot beyond the standard ability of the robot as set in the specifications manual. (Including specifications for payload, speed, motion range, environment, etc.) 3. Prior to starting operation, operators are expected to fully understand operation manuals and materials relating to the robot usage. And, care must be taken so that no injury occurs as a result of carelessness during operation. 4. Care must be taken so that none of the electrical components become loose or disconnected while the robot is energized. (e.g. connectors, circuit boards, etc.) 5. Also, care must be taken so that neither the explosion-proof teach pendant nor the multifunction panel are dropped or exposed to heavy impact, as they consist of a variety of precision instruments.
C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 3 ROBOT SPEED LIMITATIONS
Safety
The maximum speed is limited to 250mm/sec. when operating the robot in check or teach mode from the multifunction panel or the teach pendant.
4 ROBOT MOTION RANGE A maximum possible motion range has been established for every robot model, unless the robot is given special specifications at the time of purchase. However, the motion range can be restricted to support the requirements according to the needs of the application.
1.
Motion Range Limits via Software Motion range limits can also be set for the robot by software.
WWARNING
Setting only software limits on the robots motion range is insufficient as a countermeasure for preventing serious or fatal accidents. Mechanical stoppers as well as a safety fence must also be established. 2. Motion Range Limits via Mechanical Stoppers When mechanical stoppers are needed refer to the separate volume Installation and Connection manuals for the robot arm.
C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 5 FIVE SAFETY RULES FOR KHI ROBOTS
Safety
WARNING
Before operating, the following five basic points must be given attention in order to use the robot safely. Because the content here describes only fundamental points regarding safety, thorough reading of the separate safety manual is highly recommended.
1.
Without exception, install the robot within a safety fence. Ensure that the robot is not easily approachable by people.
2.
Provide a safety plug mechanism on the door of the safety fence. The safety plug should be installed so that the door cannot be opened without removing the plug and so that motor power to the robot will be cut off if the plug is removed during operation.
C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual
Safety
3a. When performing work inside the safety fence, such as robot teaching or confirming that the work is complete, the worker must enter only after removing the safety plug. This will prevent the robot from being switched on to automatic run by another worker.
3b. In addition, during teaching operations an observer must be stationed in front of the controller and be ready and able to stop the robot at any time in case of an emergency. These duties can only be assigned to persons who have completed special training and are qualified to use the robot.
4. While the robot is operating automatically (running) or waiting in stand by mode, never enter the fenced area.

Safety
Indicate the current status of the robot clearly and simply so that anyone can understand, for example with a sign showing automatic operation, teaching, emergency stop, etc.
C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 6 SAFETY DURING START-UP
Safety
When starting up the robot, switch on the power to the motor and control panel. Pay special attention to the items below to ensure safety during start-up.
1.
Before switching Motor Power on, make certain that the work cell is empty and that no one is within the safety fence, also confirm that there are no obstructions in the path of the robot. When switching Motor Power on, be ready and able to press the Emergency Stop switch in the event the robot moves abnormally. Before starting operations in repeat mode, confirm that the work cell is empty and that no one is within the safety fence, also confirm that there are no obstructions in the path of the robot.
2.
C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 7 ENSURING SAFETY DURING TEACHING OPERATIONS
Safety
Confirm the contents of the teaching when creating programs or teaching point information to the robot. Pay special attention to the items below to ensure safety during teaching.
1.
When entering the safety fence area, confirm that all safety and indicator devices, as well as the functions and devices for regulating the motion range of the robot are in good working order. Moreover, the worker should hold the teach pendant and perform teaching so as to be able to stop the robot or find cover immediately in the event the robot moves abnormally. The robot must be installed in an area where the entire motion range of the robot can be overseen by an observer responsible for holding the Emergency Stop switch. When one worker (teacher) is inside the safety fence, the observer must be stationed outside and be able to press the Emergency Stop switch immediately if trouble arises. Duties including observing and working inside the safety fence are limited to those who have completed special training on robot usage. In order to run at a safe speed during teaching, operate the robot at 10% (or lower) of the repeat speed when: jogging the robot to the teaching point, and confirming the teaching by moving either in one step increments or in 1 continuous cycle of steps. During teaching, alert the attention of others so that none of the robotic instruments are handled carelessly or accidently. Instruments include: controller, multi-function panel, teach pendant, keyboard, etc. When observer and teacher work together, one person must be designated as supervisor before the teaching operation can proceed. In addition, any signals used during teaching and the step order of the teaching must be understood and confirmed in advance. While working within the area of the safety fence the observer and teacher must never take their eyes off the robot.

C Series Controller, Explosion-proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 8 DANGER PREVENTION DURING OPERATIONS
Safety
Typically, the robot is running in a state of continuous motion during automatic operation. In order to prevent any accidents during automatic operation pay special attention to the items below.
1. 2.
During automatic operation, never enter the safety fence area under any circumstances. In automatic operation, the robot may stop motion during timer mode or while waiting for input signal. Be careful at these times because the robot will restart motion as soon as the signal conditions are realized or the time count is completed. If the installation of the tool or the grasp of the work is insufficient during automatic operation, the tool may become disengaged or the work may be ejected from the robot. To prevent these kinds of accidents, take extra care in checking the conditions of the tool attachment and the grasping of the work. Moreover, for applications in which the work is manipulated with a pneumatic device (hand, end-effector), set up a fail safe structure so that the work is not thrown as a result of an accidental cut in air or power to the solenoid valve. When the robot stops due to some malfunction during automatic operation, confirm the contents of the error message shown on the display and perform an appropriate restoration of the system. Responsibility for resolving the error code numbers/messages that may arise should be assigned to teaching, operations and maintenance supervisors in advance. In addition, it is essential to clearly define the steps to be taken by each supervisor during system trouble.

<1> Turn the Control Power on.
<2>
The version information is displayed on the teach pendant screen. Note: The version displayed depends on the software.
<3>
Air purging process is automatically started. Note: This process is executed in pressurized explosion-proof type of robots such as KE and KF series. Steps 3-5 are skipped in the flame-proof type of robots. After confirming that the the purge air is supplied, step 4 is automatically started.
2-2
C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual <4>
The purging time starts to be counted down. Note: Purging time depends on the manipulator type. When purging is complete, the next screen automatically appears. <5>
After purging, the robot waits for the pressure to rise in the pressurized enclosure. When the pressure rises, the next screen automatically appears. <6>
The main menu appears.
<7> Turn the TEACH/REPEAT Switch to TEACH.
<8> Turn the MOTOR POWER on. The lamp is lit up. 2-3
In teach mode, turning the motor power ON will not bring actual motor power to the robot immediately. The motor brake holds the robot at the current posture. After the motor power is on, the motor current is activated by pressing the trigger switch located on the backside of the explosion-proof teach pendant. Then, after 0.5 second, the motor brake is released and the robot becomes servo-locked.
2-4
C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 2.2 TURNING THE POWER OFF
The procedure for turning the power off when finishing the robot operation is as follows. In this example external signals are not used. See the External I/O Manual, a separate volume, for using external signals.
WARNING
When shutting off the control power (breaker) of the robot, be sure to turn off the motor power by pressing the EMERGENCY STOP Switch located on the controller before turning off the control power switch (breaker).
<1> Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch and Turn the MOTOR POWER off. (The light goes off.)
<2> Turn the CONTROL POWER switch off.
Turning off the motor and control power is complete.
2-5
C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 2.3 STOPPING THE ROBOT MOTION
The following emergency stop procedures are provided for stopping the robot motion immediately. These procedures can be executed regardless of the robot mode, repeat or teach. The robot motor power is shut off and the arm comes to a complete stop when executed.
Controller
EMERGENCY STOP
Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch located on the controller. The MOTOR POWER and CYCLE START lights on the controller turn off.
Explosion-proof teach pendant Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch located on the explosion-proof teach pendant. The MOTOR POWER and CYCLE START lights on the controller turn off.
External equipment such as interlock board Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch. The MOTOR POWER and CYCLE START lights on the controller turn off. See the External I/O Manual (Interlock Signals), a separate volume.
When stopping the robot motion using the above procedures, the ERROR light on the controller may turn on or an error message may appear on the display. For restarting the robot from the stopped condition, press the ERROR RESET switch and then the MOTOR POWER or CYCLE START switch.
[ NOTE ]
The EMERGENCY STOP switch should be used only for urgency during the robot operation. An emergency stop gives a sudden brake on the motor that drives the robot arm. This means that the robot is forced to stop by excessive power, and this may give a damage to the robot components.

TYPES OF THE MANUAL OPERATION COORDINATE SYSTEM
The robot moves differently according to the coordinate system types at manual operation. The characteristics of each coordinate system should be fully understood before conducting manual operation. XYZ1 : Moves the gun parallel to the Cartesian coordinate system based on the gravity direction. The gun posture is during operation. XYZ2 : Moves the gun parallel to the Cartesian coordinate system based on the gravity direction. The wrist axis angle is kept during operation. Joint : Moves each axis independently. Gun : Moves parallel to the tool coordinate system based on the gun posture. The gun referred to is the last one that was selected by the gun selection instruction. Easy : This is the mode for orthogonal operations which are used most frequently at manual operation.

[ NOTE ]
The flow rate signal can be assigned to any number on the screen via A-112 Dedicated Output Signal. See chapter 9 for more details. 5-37
5. Teaching
7. PAINT_SIGNAL RATIO These instructions are used to change the output values of FLOW_RATE, PATTERN AIR, ATOMIZING AIR, and HIGH VOLTAGE to the painting equipment at a specified ratio. When a RATIO instruction is executed, the current output value set by the output instruction for painting equipment is changed by multiplication of the set value and the specified ratio. The multiplication includes the ratio set by 4.PRDCT PNTIO RATIO function in the PLAYBACK mode. PAINT_IO RATIO includes the following 4 items: 7.0. FLOW_RATE RATIO, 7.1. PATTERN RATIO, 7.2. ATOMIZING RATIO, 7.3. H_VOLTAGE RATIO These instructions change the value of the programs GENERAL EX-OUT instruction for painting equipment by multiplying it at specified ratio. Executing these instructions immediately changes the value.
The initial value (the ratio before the instruction is executed) is 100%. When teaching or repeating ends, the ratio will be reset to the initial value (100%).

5. Teaching
CAUTION
When the EX-OUT ON signal is set as the final step of the program, the playback operation ends immediately after arriving at the final step. In this case, there is almost no time for the signal to be ON and the signal output circuit may not operate properly. For example, when using external output signals as interlock signals to the superior controller, the controller may not recognize the signals properly. This can be avoided by adding a dummy final step, which keeps the same position as the last step. Example: Step No. 8 LMOVE P8 9 EX-OUT #8, ON [PROGRAM END] Note: P8 and P9 are the same position. Step No. 8 LMOVE P8 9 EX-OUT #8, ON 10 LMOVE P9 (Dummy step) [PROGRAM END]

5.2.11 GUN CONTROL INSTRUCTION
5. Teaching
A. GUN CONTROL
0. GUN Selection Specifies the gun number from 1 to 9 as defined by the tool dimension. The robot moves so as to control the trajectory and speed of the specified gun tip (TCP). If not set at programming, the gun is automatically set to No. 1.
[ NOTE ]
In repeating programs, the robot automatically operates at simple acceleration/ deceleration (equivalent to the smooth level of 1mm) when passing the section where the controlled gun (TCP) is switched by this GUN CONTROL instruction, even if the smooth level is set larger.
WARNING
The tip position of the gun specified by the GUN CONTROL instruction is recorded by STORE POS key when teaching programs. When a gun is mounted on the robot, gun 1 is automatically selected without specifying by GUN CONTROL instruction. When more than two are mounted, the gun number should be specified by the Gun Control instruction beforehand, when creating a program which contains switching of controlled guns. The robot does not operate in playback as taught if specifying a different gun with the GUN CONTROL instruction in the edit mode after making a program by pressing the STORE POS key without specifying the controlled gun.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Precautions: (1) The below table shows the compatibility between interpolation and point types. Point type XYZ1 XYZ2 Joint Interpolation Linear : Can be used Circular : Can not be used Joint
5. Teaching
(2) If the combination of interpolation and point type is not correct, the screen of explosion-proof teach pendant does not go to the entry screen for positional data. (3) The difference in the robot motion between XYZ1 and XYZ2 at linear and circular interpolation is as follows: XYZ1: This type interpolates to shift the gun posture at a fixed rate from the starting point to the target. The motion of each joint does not necessarily shift at a fixed rate. XYZ2: This type interpolates to shift the wrist axis angle (4th 6th axes) at a certain rate from the starting point to the target. The gun posture does not necessarily shift at a fixed rate. The gun tip position (X/Y/Z) shifts in the same way regardless of selecting XYZ1 or XYZ2. (4) In teach mode, the above-mentioned MOVE instructions and point types are fixed depending on the interpolation and point type that are selected when recording positions. (See 5.1.5 TEACHING THE MOVE INSTRUCTIONS.) In program edit mode, the interpolation and point type for the MOVE instruction should be selected in the screen shown on the previous page. (5) An error occurs if teaching positions for nonexistent axes. Reset the data to reflect the correct system structure in order to record the positional data. (6) The data format for MOVE instructions are different for 6 axes and 6 axes + traverse axes system structures. System structure The robot only The robot + traverse equipment Data format 6 axes 6 axes + traverse axes
CAUTION
When the MOVE instructions are modified in program edit mode, confirm the robot motion trajectory in teach mode before playback. The positional data entered in edit mode is not checked as being within the robot motion range. Care should be taken to prevent the robot from operating in unexpected directions.

5. Teaching
CAUTION
1. When pressing the CYCLE START switch while the program is midway through a step during check operation, the robot starts repeat operation from that step. Move the cursor to the 1st point of the program in teach mode using the STEP NEXT key in advance in order to repeat from the beginning of the program.
P1 (Joint movement)
2. If the 1st step is taught as linear movement, the robot wrist axis moves to the taught posture by rotating in the closer direction within 180. Its rotation angle may become 360 different from the wrist rotation angle that was taught, which may result in twisting of the painting hoses. Therefore, for the wrist axis, not only set the rotation angle within 180 but also set the gun tip position close to the 1st step. If the 1st step is taught as joint movement, there are no limitations regarding the wrist axis. Teaching the 1st step of the program as joint movement is recommended.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-41 ZEROING
Auxiliary function 41, zeroing, is used to set the value of the encoder count to a zero degree reference position. From this screen the user can select a single joint to be zeroed or select all joints to be zeroed. The zeroing information set from function 41 is entered in conjunction with information recorded in auxiliary function 140 to accomplish the zeroing of the mechanical unit. Figure 9-10 shows the display screen when function 41 is selected.
CAUTION
Users must be cognizant of the effect changes made in this function will have on the position of programmed locations. Changing this data without following the complete zeroing process may move programmed locations to positions that will cause damage to the robot, fixtures or work.
The process for simple zeroing is as follows: 1. Jog all axes to be zeroed so that the zeroing scribe marks are aligned. 2. Select auxiliary function 140, encoder count reset, and enter the joint number to be zeroed. If all joints are to be zeroed, 0 is entered for the joint number 3. Set the zero position value from the auxiliary function 41, zeroing screen, by entering the joint number to be zeroed. If all joints are to be zeroed, 0 is entered for the joint number. 4. Confirm the new zero position by operating the robot in the check mode on a previously taught program to verify playback accuracy of locations. For further information about the zeroing process, reference Kawasaki Robotics Inc. Electrical Maintenance and Troubleshooting Manual, unit 9, Zeroing.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-42 POS. ERROR RANGE AT E-STOP
The pos. error range at e-stop function is used to set a comparison range to check the robots commanded position when an emergency stop was applied with the position when motor power is reapplied. If the difference between the robots position when motor power is reapplied and when the emergency stop was pressed is greater then the set value, a position offset error will be displayed. The position offsets error generated from this function cannot be reset and motor power can not be applied. The error range must be reset to a value that will not cause an error. The purpose of this function is to prevent interference with fixtures, jigs, or work pieces when the robot is restarted after an emergency stop condition. The acceptable range of data for the position error range at emergency stop is from 0.1 degree to 10.0 degrees for axes one to six and from 0.1mm to 100mm for a seventh axis. If 0 is entered the error check is not performed. The default setting for this function is 0. The pos. error range at e-stop function screen is shown in figure 9-11.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-43 ENCODER ERROR RANGE
This function sets the range of encoder deviation that is allowed before an error is displayed upon applying power to the controller. The encoder value when control power is turned off is compared to the encoder value when control power is turned on. If the difference is larger than the range set, a JT encoder abnormality error is displayed. The range of acceptable data for this function is from 0.1 degree to 10.0 degrees for axes one to six and from 0.1mm to 100mm for a seventh axis. The default setting for the encoder error range function is 2.0 degrees. Operators should be aware that if this range is set too low, error messages may be displayed when the system is performing within design performance specifications. The display screen to set the values for the encoder error range function is shown in figure 9-12. The F1, PREV.DATA, key can be used to restore the settings if the enter key has not been pressed yet.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-47 BASE COORDINATE
This function allows the user to redefine the base reference frame by effectively shifting the base transformation values XYZ and OAT. When the machine is first initialized the transformation values of the base coordinate system are all set to a null or zero position. A null base has the transformation values 0,0,0,0,0,0. The BASE COORDINATE function can be used to change the base reference location. Programmers must be aware of the impact shifting the base coordinate origin will have on program playback. Shifting the base coordinate origin will result in the equivalent shift occurring for all transformation locations stored in the controller memory. However, locations recorded as precision points are played back based on the joint angles of the robots six axes and will not be affected by a base coordinate shift. The acceptable range for the base coordinate shift function is from -9999.9mm to 1000mm in the XYZ directions and from -180- to 180- for angles OAT. The BASE COORDINATE function screen is shown in figure 9-15.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-48 TOOL DIMENSIONS
This function allows the user to record the unique tool orientations and dimensions. Up to nine separate tools can be defined via this function, the dimensions of each tool associated with the more tools unidentified in block step programs. Dimensions for XYZ tool coordinates are expressed in increments of 0.1mm, and in increments of 0.1 degrees for the OAT rotation axes. Nine separate screens are available for this function. The F2 and F3 keys are used to display the previous and next screens, respectively. The weight of the tool and the load it will be carrying can also be entered from the tool dimensions screens. The F1 key can be used to restore previous tool dimensions and weight information, provided the enter key has not yet been pressed to record the new data. Figure 9-16 shows the TOOL DIMENSIONS display screen for TOOL 1. [ NOTE ] 1. Setting for tools 1-9 extend for consecutive pages. Collecting the full nine pages worth will result in the data being grouped together into one lump sum. 2.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-51 SOFTWARE LIMIT
This function allows the user to set the upper and lower limits of robot travel as expressed in degrees of axes rotation. The robot will not travel to locations that are outside of these limits. When operating the robot, an audio beep is transmitted to identify the approach of a software limit. The frequency of the audio beep will increase the closer the manipulator gets to the limit. When the limit is reached the robot will stop moving in that direction and the audio transmitted will be constant, no error message will be generated. The robot can be jogged away from software limits by simply changing its direction. If the robot is moved with the brake release to a location beyond the software limits or the software limits have changed, placing the robot outside the software limits, you can jog back into the software limits envelope. The SOFTWARE LIMIT display is shown in figure 9-17. The allowable maximum and minimum settings are displayed along with the current settings. Use the cursor keys and numeric keypad to change the settings. If data is entered that is beyond the allowable settings the display will not accept the change and identify that the data entered was out of range. The first screen displayed shows the upper limits, the lower limits are displayed by pressing the F3 key. The user must be aware that the minus sign for the lower limit settings is not assumed and, if desired, must be included when data for the lower limits is set.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-53 ACCURACY
When converting smooth level instruction of former controller to smooth range instruction, use to convert level (from 1 to 4) to accuracy range (mm).
(Set range: 0.0 to 5000.0) Figure 9-18 Accuracy In case that the waiting condition (timer, WS and so on) is taught and the waiting cancel condition is unsatisfied at the point B, it moves to the point B even if accuracy range may be set wider (for example setting 500mm) [ NOTE ] When accuracy range is set narrower, robot sometimes stops due to axis mismatch error. Be sure not setting accuracy range less than repeat accuracy. It sometimes indicates axis mismatch error depending on the robot or load condition, even if the repeat accuracy may be above the standard value, because this accuracy means error at Teach and Repeat.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual Set accuracy and trajectory 1. Case of motion type 1 For example, we think about the combination of the linear motion of A to B and B to C by CP ON. At the moment which entered within the range specified with ACCURACY (Reach D point), the current value overlaps the motion command value of the current path and the robot motion command value of the next path as shown in right figure. And, the robot moves continuously to the motion of the next path along this command value. (lower right figure) When the specification of ACCURACY is large, the robot starts overlapping the acceleration of the next path from early that much timing. (figure below) A B Accuracy D
Command value Actual trajectory (Trajectory shifts a little because of the delay time. C
Velocity(v)

Time (t) When the current value reaches D (B) C However, since the robot overlaps the acceleration of the next path at the time of when it begins to decelerate the current path, ACCURACY is saturated in a certain place. (v)
(B)
(t)
At this point, even if the current value comes within the range of ACCURACY, even only the same to deceleration beginning timing is early and robot can accelerate the next path.
9-29
In the figure below, if the deceleration and the acceleration in the overlap of the path are smaller values, time which begins decelerating becomes early, and it becomes a circular arc trajectory of a larger radius. However, the attainment time from A to C almost becomes the same at the case on the previous page. v

In the figure below, Even if only the deceleration of the current path is smaller, and the acceleration of the next path is larger, the compound speed in the overlapping part does not exceed each speed. (End time of deceleration is corresponding to end time of acceleration) v
(B)
2. Case of motion type 2 (option) In Motion type 2 (option), we have changed the concept of Accuracy and Speed in a linear motion and a circular motion in Motion type 1. You can use the program in the grammar without modifying a conventional program. However, be careful about the change of an actual motion trajectory and motion speed. We explain the changing point of Motion type 2 as follows. 1. Accuracy setting a) Accuracy in joint interpolation motion It shows the motion trajectory of the robot corresponding to the set accuracy in figure below. It is similar to Motion type 1. In figure below, the accuracy setting with B point is an example for 1mm, 100mm, and 200mm. It is not because of being the standard the motion trajectory in this case, and beginning just curve in the point which comes in the circle of the specified accuracy. By making the accuracy larger in Motion type 2; robot can go inside the distance of the remainder of the current path and the distance of the next path even half smaller. The cycle time does not change even if robot does the accuracy more than a certain value (distance which exceeds usual deceleration section and acceleration section) larger. The trajectory only changes 2. 9-30
Joint Interpolation
Maximum can be set the half of the next path. b) Accuracy in linear interpolation, circular interpolation motion It shows the motion trajectory of the robot corresponding to the set accuracy in figure below. In figure below, the accuracy setting with B point is an example for 1mm, 100mm, and 200mm. It begins to be curve in the point which enters in the circle of the specified accuracy. The trajectory in the circle of the accuracy becomes a circular trajectory. Robot can go inside the distance of the remainder of the current path and the distance of the next path even half smaller by making the accuracy larger. In this case, since the motion distance shortens by going inside, it can improve the cycle time. However, when the robot satisfies the following conditions, it becomes processing same as the accuracy in the joint interpolation motion. When the waiting condition (timer and WX, etc.) is taught to B point When the waiting instruction (TWAIT and SWAIT, etc.) is executed in B point When the work/tool is changed in B point For the connect with the joint interpolation When motion mode (usual motion and fixed work point motion) changes in the taught point b.
Linear Interpolation
Circular arc
Maximum can be set the half of the next path. CAUTION In figure below, robot moves like the solid line if you sets the accuracy very larger when A, B, C, and D is taught. However, shock might be generated in point E. In this case, you should be change setting the accuracy so that the circular arc should not collide with the circular arc. A B E C 9-31 D
2. Speed setting a) Accuracy in joint interpolation motion It is similar to Motion type 1. b) Accuracy in linear interpolation, circular interpolation motion In Motion type 2, to reach a specified speed by setting the accuracy larger, it plans the motion.
Specified speed
Motion type 2 Motion type 1 However, it becomes in the following cases as well as Motion type 1. When the waiting condition is taught in the taught point When the waiting instruction is executed in the taught point When the work/tool is changed in the taught point When motion mode (usual motion and fixed work point motion) changes in the taught point For the connect with the joint interpolation. CAUTION When a short pitch and posture change larger, the joint moving time is larger than the linear moving time. In this case, robot does not reach a specified speed to match at the joint moving time. Speed in circular interpolation In Motion type 1, there is no limitation at moving speed in the circular interpolation motion. In Motion type 2, robot has automatically decided the motion max. speed in the circular interpolation motion responding to the ability of the robot. For Motion type 2, the trajectory in the circle of the accuracy becomes a circular arc trajectory. This circular arc trajectory motion max. speed is decided as well as the speed in the above-mentioned circular interpolation.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual -72 AUTOMATIC PATH GENERATION FUNCTION
Using a source program, the Automatic Path Generation function duplicates a path at a given distance (path pitch) from a taught path and sets that path to be repeated the specified number of times (number of paths). The source program (reference program) is taught a minimum of three base points (1st endpoint, 2nd endpoint, and reference point).
* 1st endpoint is the starting point for repeating the path. 2nd endpoint is the end point for repeating the path. Reference point is the point to determine in which direction to repeat the path between 1st and 2nd endpoint. Reference program is the source program for automatic path generation including above-mentioned base points (endpoints and reference point). [Precautions before using automatic path generation function] (1) The automatic path generation function directly rewrites the position data of the program specified by Program No.. Therefore, a copy should be made of the reference program under a different program No. via 3. MANAGE PROGRAM /1. COPY, before using the automatic path generation function. (2) MOVE, SPEED, SPRAY and GUN SELECT instructions are available for automatic path generation. (3) Although MOVE / CIRCULAR instructions may be used in the reference program for automatic path generation, in programming, this instruction must not be used at 1st or 2nd endpoints. If either instruction is used at the endpoints, error 2150 MOVE / CIRCULAR cannot be used at an endpoint of painted block will occur, disabling automatic path generation. (4) In reference program, maximum 15 base points can be taught. If more than 15 points are taught, error 2151 Too many teaching points in painted block will occur, disabling automatic path generation. (5) In reference program, maximum 8 instructions per base point can be taught. If more than 8 instructions are taught, error 2152 Too many instructions per step in painted block will occur, disabling automatic path generation. (6) In reference program, 3 or more base points must be taught. If only 1 or 2 base points are taught, error 2153 Short in teaching points in painted block will occur, disabling automatic path generation. 9-38
(7) If error 2101 Shifted location of STEP n is out of range occurs during conversion, the position data for path generation is at singularity. Therefore, the defective point (Step n) and its following points are not converted. To correct this error, re-execute operation after changing the base points, or modifying the point data automatically generated. (8) The generated path may not be expected if Joint or XYZ2 (angle of wrist axes maintained) mode is used in automatic path generation. In this case, use XYZ1 mode (gun posture maintained) to teach points in the reference program, before executing path generation. [ NOTE ] When a program is composed using automatic path generation, the motion trajectory should be checked in TEACH mode before playing back. When generating position data by this function, robot working range is not checked. Even if the position data is expected to be within robot working range, be sure to check for interferences with work, etc. in TEACH mode before playing back.
This function can be also applied to the internal painting of box-shaped works or circular arc-shaped works as shown in the figure below. Use the automatic path generation function, referring to the following description and precautions.

The second end point (P4) to last point (P5) specifies in which direction to repeat the path (P4 P5 for advance path, P5 P4 for return path). The final point (P6) is the starting point of the return path. It is taught to be the same point as P9 in the diagram on the next page. A return path is created from the advance path by shifting the advance path the distance L, defined as the difference between P9 (return path start point) and P8 created by the automatic path generation function.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-76 HOME POSITION
The HOME POSITION function allows the user to set two home positions for the robot. These home positions can be set to any locations within the work envelope. Home locations have two unique characteristics from other locations. A dedicated output signal can be assigned to each of the home positions so that whenever the robot is in that position the signal will be generated. Home positions are also recognized in AS language commands in a unique way, the only code needed to send the robot to the home position is the statement HOME. When this instruction is encountered the robot will perform a joint move to the home position. A second home position is identified by the designation HOME2 and is set from the second screen of function 76. Figure 9-30 shows the screen to set home position 1. From this screen the user can choose to enter the desired home position as expressed in joint angles or the current position of the robot. To enter a HOME position other than the current position, use the cursor keys to highlight KEY-IN and move to the desired joint number. Enter the desired number of degrees for each joint and press ENTER when completed. The range for the home position is also set from this screen. When the robot reaches a point within the specified range, the output signal is generated. It is recommended that the range for the home position be set to between 5mm and 10mm to ensure the home position output is generated.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-91 ENVIRONMENT DATA
The ENVIRONMENT DATA function is used to set an auto servo timer and identify if the controller is operating with a teach pendant or multi function panel installed. The AUTO SERVO OFF TIMER sets a time period that motor power will remain ON if no movement of the robot has occurred. The auto servo timer function is designed to save energy by allowing the brakes to maintain robot position as opposed to using electrical power and servo motors. When the robot has not moved and the auto servo timer has reached its set value, the brakes will be applied and power will be removed from the servo motors. The motor power light will remain ON and the robot will begin motion under the same conditions it would have if the auto servo timer had not removed power from the motors. The ENVIRONMENT DATA function also allows the user to identify weather or not a teach pendant is installed. The dead man buttons and the emergency stop button are hard-wired and a jumper (or a different user interface) must be installed if the teach pendant is removed. Figure 9-33 shows the screen that is displayed when auxiliary function 91 is selected.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual A-167 SINGULAR POINT ALARM RANGE SET This function is used to display and set the singular point alarm function.
For robot controller, when calculating to convert the position and posture at tool tip (XYZOAT) into the angle of each joint, the robot posture unable to calculate due to following situations is called singular point. (1) Combination of each joint angle that satisfies the position and posture of required tool tip are multiple and each joint angle cannot be determined. (2) Required position and posture at tool tip cannot be realized due to structural constraint. (For example, designated point is out of operating range and the arm does not reach.) Above-mentioned conversion calculation can be done when designated point is out of singular point range even if it is close to singular point. However, robot operation gets rapid around singular point and the robot controller sets singular point range including the vicinity of singular point. When robot enters within singular point range, an error message is displayed and the robot is suspended. This function allows robot to be stopped before moving abruptly.
The alarm range can be changed by selecting singular point with up and down keys. Input range : 0-30 Default value : 5.0 deg Displayed error codes are as follows: When the Singular Point 1 occurs: -2103 Wrist cant be straightened any more (Singular Point 1) When the Singular Point 2 occurs: -2104 Wrist cant be bent any more (Singular Point 2) Or, error may occur from extending beyond operation range or going over speed limit.

Operation speed when setting NO Robot operates at the speed executed by the last APPLICATION SPEED command, AIR-CUT command or SPEED command of ALWAYS until the next SPEED command is executed regardless of difference between application step and air-cut step. However, each joint operation occurs only when SPR_JSPEED and SPR_AC_JSPEED commands are effective, and linear operation occurs only when SPR_SPEED and SPR_AC_SPEED commands are effective. When SPEED command is not executed, robot operates at default value (Joint: 10%, Linear: 100mm/s). When SPEED is executed without designating ALWAYS command, only the next step is operated at the specified speed.

11. Automatic Tool Registration (Option)
AUTOMATIC TOOL REGISTRATION FUNCTION - OVERVIEW
A variety of tools of different shapes (gun, hand, etc.) can be mounted on the wrist flange when operating the robot. If the tool transformation value is not set correctly at this time, the robot motion path may be affected and there is a possibility of any errors or malfunctions will become larger through off-line transformation. In other words, the tool transformation value is essential for operating the robot correctly. In general, the data values are input by keyboard and registered, but accurate setting of the tool length and posture may require the long time. This function makes it possible to automatically register the values by measuring the tool currently in use by the robot without entering the values by key. In this way, the time taken for accurate measurement of the tool becomes unnecessary.
11-2
REQUIRED DATA FOR AUTOMATIC TOOL REGISTRATION
When using the auto tool registration function, the following set of measurement data is required depending on the shape of the tool and mounting condition.
Tool length based on tool x, y, z directions only Tool Transformation value Teaching point consists of four points, A1, A2, A3, A4. Tool length + tool posture (angle degrees for O, A, T). Teaching point consists of six points, A1, A2, A3, A4; B and C.

12. Conveyor Synchronization (Option)
OVERVIEW OF CONVEYOR SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION
Normally, the robot performs operations on stationary work, but this function makes it possible for the robot to operate synchronously with the work on a moving conveyor. For this, the system services and tracks/ follows the work using all 6 axes of the robot or a traverse axis. But, since the operation range of the robot is limited, the robot may not be able to perform all operations in some situations. In these cases, the works are divided into several blocks to fit the operating range of the robot. By utilizing this method, the robot motion can be synchronized with conveyor speed in the application such as painting. The conveyor synchronization function is enabled for setting and displaying of each data after AUX. 68 CONVEYOR SYNCHRO screen is selected. The Conveyor Synchronization functions are explained below. Function No. 1 2 3 Function Current Location Indicator Data Settings Setting Data Environmental Explanation of Function Displays the following data: current joint angle and XYZ including conveyor data, encoder value and joint angle speed.

Work pitch. Set up a distance from the front edge of a work conveyed on the conveyor line to the front edge of the next work. This is for preventing the phototube from issuing an erroneous signal (a reset signal for the conveyor position) by checking the distance between works. At the input of the phototube signal, if the conveyor present value is smaller than the set distance, a message, Work pitch abnormal, is displayed. Only input from the phototube is valid. Gain For Conveyor Speed Bias. Normally, the robot is so designed to move with a delay in relation to the work moving on the conveyor. Therefore, it is necessary to set up the gain so as to compensate for the delay time of the robot with respect to the conveyor. The standard value is set to 50%, and as a rule, no change is required. Range of Gain Value Change Small (0) (50%) Large (100%) (*) Large Small
2.
Gain Value Delaying Amount
(*) Up to 200 may be entered, depending on software versions.
CAUTION
When increasing the gain value, be careful that if the conveyor speed fluctuations are excessively large, the robot motion will lack stability and become shaky.
3.
Conveyor scale. Set the conveyor moving distance at 1-bit of conveyor encoder count, in mm/bit units. Conveyor Maximum Speed. When the conveyor pulsation is vigorous, and the speed variation becomes large, the robot motion is affected and there may be shaking. In these instances, the sudden speed fluctuations can be suppressed by setting a maximum speed for the conveyor. This function is effective in correcting the conveyor speed. But, it does not influence the present value of conveyor encoder. The max. conveyor speed should be set at approx. twice the average conveyor speed, using 200mm/sec. is set as the standard speed. Conveyor Maximum Position. This function enables an error message to be displayed on screen and cut off the motor power if the conveyor value at steps in which conveyor synchronization has been taught. 12-8

5.
[ NOTE ] When the conveyor max. value is set to zero (0) mm, this function is inoperable. The initial value setting is (0). Even if the system has been initialized, the conveyer maximum value will not change. If the value for the conveyor exceeds the set maximum value during operation, then the following error message is displayed, Error (-1700) Conveyor passed the limit.
6.
Ineffective pitch. After the conveyor present value has been reset by RPS-ON input, the next RPS-ON input will be invalid until the conveyor moves by designated distance of invalid pitch. When repeating operations for a work on twin hanger conveyor executing a single program, RPS-ON may be input twice per a work. This function can be used to avoid false reset of the conveyor position value. If the RPS input is required to be valid at all times, set zero (0) as the value. Line increase direction. The positive direction of robot X/Y axis can be set to either conveyor advancing direction or the reverse direction. Conveyor Increase Direction. The direction in which the conveyor encoder value increases can be set to either the conveyor advance direction or reversing direction.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 12.3 OPERATING THE SIMULATION FUNCTION
The simulation function can confirm operation of Conveyor Synchronization through operation of the robot without actually running the conveyer. In other words, simulation makes it possible to examine robot operations in relation to the moving conveyor even if a conveyor is not moving. The robot is not equipped with a conveyor encoder or the conveyor is not moving without any work. (Dummy conveyor moves in the controller.). For example, the simulator can check whether or not any sudden change occurs in the taught wrist posture during operation. In addition, this function can be used for the purpose of checking whether or not a particular operation can be executed within the robot motion range.

Conveyor Run/Hold. When you set the simulation mode to Effect, the dummy conveyor is activated and the conveyor data increases. This function makes it possible to increase or hold the conveyor data at the same value. Conveyor Speed. It is also possible to set the conveyor speed in simulation mode. Conveyor Maximum Position While the dummy conveyor is running in the simulation mode, conveyor data might be increased abnormally, resulting in an error of out of range. In order to prevent this error, you can set up the conveyor maximum position. If the conveyor data has exceeded the set maximum value, the robot will stop immediately.

12.4.2 PREPARATORY OPERATIONS FOR TEACHING

When using the conveyor synchronization function, it is necessary for the robot to complete the specified operation of each block following along with the moving conveyor. In other words, by entering the synchronization zone for the respective blocks, set up the allowable range of work positions within which the robot can complete specified operations.
CAUTION
When setting synchronization zone, ensure the following conditions. 1. Even if the conveyor moves at maximum speed without any pause in process, the task should be completed. 2. Even if the work stops at any place in the specified synchronization zone, the same block operations should be completed.
Setting the Conveyor Synchronization Function According to this teaching example, set the conveyor synchronization function as follows: 1. Setting of Work pitch: (Example) Set the Work pitch to 1,000mm. Setting of conveyor encoder resolution scale: (Example) Set the resolution to be 0.5mm/bit. (Standard) Setting of conveyor encoder increase direction: (Example) Set the same direction. Setting of robots X-axis direction: (Example) Set the same direction. Setting of Gain for conveyor speed bias: (Example) Set at 50%. (Standard)

TEACHING
12.5.1 CAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING TEACHING

It is essential to take note of the motion range of the robot when teaching steps using the Conveyor Synchronization function. 1. For the Conveyor Synchronization function, take note as there may occur an error out of range during the repeat run because the work positional relationship between the work and the robot is different in teaching and repeating. For determining the robot motion range, first, confirm the movement of the traverse axis. Next, examine the setting for the synchronization zone and the conveyor speed, etc.
2.
12.5.2 EXAMPLES OF TEACHING

The following demonstrates program teaching for setting up a coating process on works divided into two blocks, incorporating the conveyor synchronization function. In preparation of the teaching work, a new coating program PG10 and tool transformation value in compliance with the gun shape are registered. In addition, it is assumed that the teach mode has been selected. On the following pages the teaching steps of actual coating applications are given and explained in examples.

CONVEYOR POSITION SHIFT FUNCTION
When teaching programs with conveyor synchronization, current conveyor positions at time of teaching are recorded with the move instructions. If the conveyor origin is changed after the teaching, the conveyor positions recorded in the move instructions of the program require changing. In this case, the Conveyor Position Shift function enables conveyor positions uniform changing of the program by the distance specified. Example) After teaching current conveyor position to be 1000mm, the conveyor origin shifts 1000mm downstream. By shifting the conveyor position 1000mm with the conveyor position shift function, the conveyor positions recorded in the programs move instruction are rewritten to 2000mm.

C Series Controller, Explosion-Proof Type Kawasaki Robot Operation Manual 13.1 OVERVIEW OF THE INTERFACE PANEL
13. Interface Panel Settings (Option)
Typically, an operation panel (interlock panel) equipped with a variety of switches and lamps is used for interfacing the robot with the peripheral equipment. For the C Series Controller, it is possible to setup an interface panel to correspond to the interlock panel in the multi-function panel display. The interface panel elements can be arranged in a variety of ways. The types of elements include: switches, lamps, digital displays and settings. 1. Setup Using Auxiliary Function The interface panel can be setup using Auxiliary function 131. 2. The interface panel can also be setup, using a personal computer, by downloading the interface panel configuration file to the personal computer, editing this file, and then uploading this file to the controller. To select the file to be loaded or saved, perform the following: (xxxxxx is the file name) LOAD xxxxxx.if, when loading the file with the data into memory. SAVE/if xxxxxx, when saving to the disk file. The following is an example of an interface panel program, also refer to screen shown in 13.3, Selecting the Interface Panel Screen
Specify the data in the following order. The display position parameter (1-64), type code (0-7), data details (in the same order as the screen setting), and the selection item shows that the following is selected. 0 : right side -1 : left side 13-2
PROCESSING SEQUENCE ON INTERFACE PANEL
Create the sequence logic for the interface panel using AS language, and execute it with the PC program. Type Signal An internal signal (2001-2256 or 2512) or the output Switch signal (one-number of I/O) is turned on and off. Refer to internal signals (2001-2256 or 2512), the output signal (one-number of I/O), and the input signal Lamp Display (1001-number of I/O). Limitation, I/O signals exceeding 192 cannot be assigned. Dedicated Signal This can also be assigned to an internal signal (2001-2256 (cycle start, etc.) or 2512). Use the signal numbers above when setting up the interface panel. (Moreover, use the mounted signals.) Ensure that duplicate signal numbers are not used when setting up switches for the interface panel. If duplicate signal numbers are used, an error will occur.
