Getting working project number [PickMaster 3]

PickMaster
1

Hi

I have two questions:

  1. Is it possible to get working project number(The project that is started from pmaster PC.) to a variable on robot?

  2. I don’t want pickmaster robot to go to safepos when i stop the robot from flexpendant. So i ve commented lines coordinated and uncoordinated in pick routine. Now it works fine and robot restarts from the position where it stayed. I wonder if it causes a problem to comment coordinated and uncoordinated routine’s call in pick routine.(NOTE:This is a presshop pmaster aplication)

Thanks in advance for ur helps.

  1. Since the rapid program is unique for every project, you can set a variable in every rapid program.

  2. The purpose for coordinated/Uncoordinated is for restarting, so if you find the restart procedure OK for all cases, it’s alright to comment them out.

I have had several applications where the same RAPID code could have been used on multiple projects if the project number information was available. Instead, I had to edit unique code for each project to deal with very minor alterations such as the tool mass and item load. This made revision tracking a big headache since a process change to the code required editing several different program versions.

Is there a way for the robot to know which project is active?
