Targets in a line using loop - 1D (and 2D/3D)

RobotStudio
1

Hi,
I am coming to RobotStudio/ABB from Staubli V+ and am looking to create a simple program that allows a single target to be moved dynamically within a program. Below is an abbreviated version of how it could be done in V+ - the first point is called StartPoint, and it is shifted along the World X by a distance ‘xspace’ for each iteration of the loop - hence parts are always picked from one target and dropped in a line - this can easily be extended to 2D and 3D with additional loops. Gripper I/O is OpenI and CloseI; Shift command assumed World Coordinates.
What is the easiest way of doing this in RobotStudio?
Many thanks!

PROMPT "Enter the num. of targets in the x-direction: ", xdim
PROMPT “Enter the target spacing in the x-direction in mm:”, xspace
OpenI
FOR loopx = 0 TO (xdim-1)
SET dropoff = SHIFT(startpoint BY (xspace*loopx))
MOVE pickup
CLOSEI
MOVE dropoff
OPENI
END

In RAPID the code would look something like this:

MODULE Module1
CONST robtarget pickup:=[[800,-200,600],[0,0,1,0],[-1,-4,3,0],[9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09]];
CONST robtarget startpoint:=[[800,200,600],[0,0,1,0],[0,-5,4,0],[9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09,9E+09]];
VAR num xdim;
VAR num xspace;
PROC Path_10()
TPReadNum xdim,“Enter the num. of targets in the x-direction:”;
TPReadNum xspace,“Enter the target spacing in the x-direction in mm:”;
SetDO DoOpen0,1; ! Or PulseDO
FOR loopx FROM 0 TO xdim-1 DO
MoveJ pickup,v1000,fine,tool0\WObj:=wobj0;
SetDO DoClose0,1;
MoveJ Offs(startpoint,loopx*xspace,0,0),v1000,fine,tool0\WObj:=wobj0;
SetDO DoOpen0,1;
ENDFOR
ENDPROC
ENDMODULE
