User Authorization – invisible Plastics and DieCast icons

o To access RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0, the User Authorization has to be set-up in RobotStudio Online. Otherwise the Plastics and DieCast icons will be invisible.

Digital signals and eio.cfg

o The signals defined in eio.cfg belonging to the “cell” board should not be removed.

o The “dummy” signals in station and tool libraries should not be removed.

o For station and tool signal mapping, if a logical signal is not used, map it to a “dummy” signal.

To activate the RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0 window when running the robot in manual mode, do the following settings (these are default setting):

To launch RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0

HomeRun

o Make sure that HomeRun has been tested for every possible movement path.

o The HomeRun function is programmable. Default setting is only to Allow HomeRun in manual mode. The programmer can decide to Allow HomeRun in Auto mode, or disable all the HomeRun.

Path Recovery option is not compatible with RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast since it interferes with HomeRun.

RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0 do not include background task as default. When the robot stops, there is no RAPID running, so the station status and all the tool status will not be updated automatically.

Continue function. After errors such as the Timeout, instruction stops in the synchronized linkprocedure or toolmethod, it’s not possible to continue production directly. Only HomeRun can be available.

This RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast version is not compatible with previous versions. To upgrade, contact your ABB contact person.

C-Start can not delete the RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast additional options. Instead, manually delete the entire RobotWare Plastics Mould or RobotWare DieCast folder before download a new system to the controller.

Delivery The RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0 deliverables are delivered in the following ways:

RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0 additional options will be delivered on the RobotWare DVD.

Manuals are delivered on the IRC5 manual CD.

Also,

RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0 options are available at

ABB Library/ / Robotics/ Software Products/ Application Software /Plastic Software/ RobotWare Plastics Mould

Installation If a new robot system including RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 and RobotWare DieCast 4.0 needs to be installed on the IRC5, do the following:

Before installation, make sure all the previous RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast have been removed. C-Start can not delete additional options, instead manually delete the entire RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast folder before download a new system to the controller.

1. The installation script Setup.exe in RW 5.xx DVD / RobotWare Plastics Mould or RobotWare DieCast will install RobotWare Plastics Mould 4.0 or RobotWare DieCast 4.0 in the Mediapool.

2. In RobotStudio Online System Builder, build a system with RobotWare Plastics Mould or RobotWare DieCast. In the system builder option list, make sure that both of the following options have been marked:

o 675-1 RobotWare Plastics or 875-1 RobotWare DieCast (or all four options, FlexPendant Interface, World zones , Fixed Position Events and Advanced Rapid), and

o RobotWare Plastics Mould or RobotWare DieCast

3. Download the RobotWare Plastics Mould or RobotWare DieCast system to the IRC5 controller.

4. To access RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast, the User Authorization has to be set up using RobotStudio Online. Otherwise the Plastics or DieCast icons will be invisible. The default user will get the Programmer authorization.

o Add users to the Plastics or DieCast user groups (see RobotStudio Online Operating manual RobotStudio Online in Handle Controllers/ Managing the user authorization system/ Administrating users):

5. Log in as the authorized user on the FlexPendant.

Changes in functionality This section describes the changes that have been made between releases of RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast.

New Functions in RW Plastics Mould 4.0 and RW DieCast 4.0 New functions:

Stop After Cycle Combined Tool method and Link Procedures Remote control commands Some internal status have been opened Advanced mode Customized HomeRun Cell Paths Run-time performance improvement All the Plastics and DieCast messages start with “Pla&Die”. So it is easy to

distinguish Plastics and DieCast message windows from the RobotWare message windows.

For more new functions and details see the Operating manual - Plastics Mould and DieCast and Application manual – Plastics Mould and DieCast.

Changes in RW Plastics Mould 4.019 and RW DieCast 4.019 No new functions added in this release than 4.018.

Changes in RW Plastics Mould 4.020 and RW DieCast 4.020 No new functions added in this release than 4.019.

Virtual Controller adaptations To run RobotWare Plastics Mould and RobotWare DieCast in the Virtual Controller, the following installation preparations should be done in addition to the normal installation procedures.

Check the options

o World Zones

o FlexPendant application

o Advanced rapid

o Fixed Position Events

When using the IMM in cycle, you need to simulate the IMM IO signal dynamically based on the machine logic. Otherwise robot will run only one cycle even you set the production continuously.

To run the cycle continuously, remove LK1_SetMldClose from the position logic.
