I have prepared test project in pm5 and I’m trying to simulate “early request” option with RobotExecution signal.
I did robot studio project to see behaviour of the robot.
So what happening:
I can’t set up functionality of early request in attached project. Robot after placing products still waiting at the place position ( with option early request shulg go to pick and wait for product).
What can be wrong in my project.
I have seen in previous release of RW 5.11 that it was some problem with early request and RobotExec signals. Maybe this bug in RW 5.12.01 is still existing?
We too are having trouble with Early Request. The robot will place a row and wait at the place point instead of move over and wait above the pick point. Is there any other options/boxes to check to make this happen? If not, is there a simple way to change the Rapid?
I had the same troubles, but to solve the problem I have make 2 differents signals 1 to tell the robot that he can execute the operate sequence (even if the products are not present) and a second one to tell that the products are there. The first signal you use it in the work area configuration, and you can use the second signal with a waitdi instruction in the routine DoAction before calling the routine DoMove1 for example. In this case the robot will go to the intermediate point and wait for the signal to pick.
If you do a back up, the file will be in the folders:
RAPID/TASK1/SYSMOD and the fille is pmrcUser.sys
The best way to find where you want to add your ‘waitdi’ is by stepping through the program until you see the correct PmDoMove1. For me, Case 4 was the best place to put the waitdi.
