How to Remote Start a Robot using the OTHER Method (Part 2)

This video is the second in a series about how to use the User Operator Panel Inputs and Outputs (UOP I/O) to remotely start a robot on an R-30iB Plus controller. Katie will resume the conversation started in the “How to Remote Start a Robot – Part 1” Tech Short video (found here), which covered: the OTHER Production Startup method, how to set up the OTHER Production Startup details, and described the roles of each of the User Operator Panel Input and Output (UOP I/O) signals. This Part 2 video will explain: how to: configure the UOP I/O, set the necessary System Configuration settings, and run the robot using the UOP I/O signals. It also discusses the CSTOPI for ABORT and the START for CONTINUE ONLY settings.

What you will need:

• Some familiarity with teach pendant programming, including conditional and unconditional branching instructions.
• Familiarity with the I/O configuration process
• The I/O module hardware and software for the desired UOP I/O module connecting the robot and the controlling entity (ex: PLC)
• Ability to interpret your system’s wiring diagrams

What we will go over:

• How to configure the UOP I/O signals
• System Configuration settings for Remote mode operation
  • Enable UI Signals
  • Remote/Local setup
  • CSTOPI for ABORT
  • START for CONTINUE ONLY
• Running the robot using the UOP signals
