Functions

Overview of functions:

  • Control and coordination of the drives of a robot application
  • Motion control by means of path interpolation
  • Support of mechanical components with up to 2 joint axes as standard,
  • with the corresponding add-ons up to 4 or 6 joint axes
  • Handling of stationary objects or with the "ConveyorTracking" add-on of moving objects.
  • Operating modes: "Manual" and "Automatic" (program)
  • Jog mode of joint axes, Cartesian axes, and single axes
  • Different types of program sequences in program mode:
  • automatic, single step for each block command or motion command
  • Operation via RobotMonitor or IEC Editor
  • Simulation of processes for diagnosing problems early, without a real machine
  • Reproducible path fidelity even after disturbances by repositioning to the path (BackToPath)
  • Configuration of wait points at any point during the SRL program
  • Scaling the speed using an override input value
  • Tool transformation
  • Integrated, automatic 3D simulation of the robot and its paths in the RobotMonitor
  • SRL programming using the SEW Robot Language:
    • Teach-in function
    • 20 memory locations for programs with hundreds of motion commands each
    • Linear interpolation with jerk-limited blending
    • Use of explicit coordinates or variable poses
    • All variables (BOOLEAN, REAL, POSE) can be written and read in IEC
    • Use of control flow elements: IF, WHILE
    • CallFunctions for synchronized and consistent execution of IEC code
    • Position based, time based, or combined path events
  • Execute G-code programs by importing and converting G-code into the SEW Robot Language in RobotMonitor.
  • Automatic import and conversion of the G-code, controlled by an IEC user program. The conversion process takes place on a .NET-enabled system using a provided import service.
  • Running the RobotMonitor on a mobile operator panel with confirmation button, key switch and emergency stop button to create and adjust the SRL program as well as for diagnostics directly on the machine
  • Can be combined with the MOVIKIT® MultiAxisController and its add‑ons (e.g. for applications in which several drives are driving one joint axis)
  • Realistic physics simulation of force-torque loads on robot drives for selected kinematic models and import of the loads into the SEW‑Workbench to select a drive for the robot (drive project planning)
  • Combination of cam and robot functionality
