SEAL-IT 100 Device Driver User Guide

Teachpoints are the coordinates in space that a robot travels to in order to interact with a device. Only the devices that are accessible by robots are able to have teachpoints.

To set the teachpoint properties:

1.Open the Device Properties page.

2.In the Teachpoints property group, set the following:

a.Device is accessible from robot robot’s name. Choose Yes or No.

b.Teachpoint for robot robot’s name. Choose a file.

If your device has a barcode reader, indicate where the reader is located.

To set the barcode readers property:

1.In the Barcode Readers property group, set the side that has the barcode to Yes.

2.Enter the number of the COM port to which the device is connected.

Note: The options available under Location groups might differ for software and hardware device drivers. Software devices do not have robot-accessible labware positions.

For hardware devices that have more than one robot-accessible labware position, the approach height, allowable/prohibited labware, teachpoint, and barcode properties are located under Location groups.

To set the Location properties:

1.Hardware device drivers only. Set the Use linked location. Follow the procedure in “Setting the Use linked location” on page 18.

2.Hardware device drivers only Set the Teachpoints. Follow the procedure in “Setting teachpoints” on page 17.
