Process Time Calculation

Robot Controller
1

Dear Sir,

I have completed simulation on an industrial component on robotstudio. Now I want to optimize the cycle time. How can I vary process time with variation of speed. Please Guide me.

Thanks.

Regards,

Dear Vasudeva
This is the program example of how to calculate the cycle time :

MODULE MainModule
…
VAR clock clk1
VAR num clk01
…

PROC main( )
…
…
rResetClk;
rStartClk;
…
… (robot movement on 1 cycle)
…
rStopClk;
rShowClkTime;
…
ENDPROC

Local PROC rResetClk ( )
clk Reset clk1;
ENDPROC

Local PROC rStopClk ( )
clk Stop clk1;
ENDPROC

Local PROC rStartClk ( )
clk Start clk1;
ENDPROC

Local PROC rShowClkTime ( )
clk01 := clk Read (clk1);
TPWrite "Cycle Time Robot is = " um := clk01;
ENDPROC
…
…

I hope this will help

I have tried various ways to calculate time with robostudio for my pallet wrapper equipment. But no luck with it. I need someone to help me here, please.

To make it virtual, you will need to make a virtual controller. The other commenter seems to think you already have a VC setup, or you are running on active equipment. But the way you are writing, it sounds to me like you are not running any active process. As to how to set up a VC, I don’t remember. There are guides available on google, but not the most straight forward.
