STE 58760

Step

A program is executed step by step.

Motion step

A motion instruction given in a program is executed once.

Cycle

A program is executed until the END instruction of main task has been executed. That is, a series of operation is executed only once.

Continue

A program is executed, neglecting motion instructions in the same man-machine lock program (i.e., the robot will not move).

Machine lock

A program is executed, neglecting motion instructions programmed, as if the robot were actually moving.

(19)Working range limitation

To detect the stroke end limit, soft limits are provided, which can be set by the user at his discretion.

(20)Self-diagnosis function

The system performs check on the servo fault, overtravel, transmission error, battery voltage drop, control power fault, parameter destruction, etc. If an error is detected, an appropriate error number is displayed on the teach pendant, and the servo power is turned off according to the error.

(21)FDD unit (option)

Files stored in the controller memory (programs and position data) can be stored in floppy disks. It is also possible to load the data of the floppy disks into the controller. A floppy disk is initialized in the MS-DOS format. It should be noted that reading of the data contained in floppy disks for the SR-5500 controller is not possible.

(22)Personal computer and printer interface

The interface function of an personal computer and printer is standard-equipped. Thus, management of the robot language and line management can be performed very easily, using the personal computer. Additionally, management of a group of robots is possible by the host computer, thus construction of a highly advanced FA system can be realized.
