Example Program 18: MM_S18_Viz_GetUserData

Program Introduction

Description

When the robot obtains the picking path, the robot also obtains the custom output data from the Mech-Vision project.

File path

You can navigate to the installation directory of Mech-Vision and Mech-Viz and find the file by using the Communication Component/Robot_Interface/ABB/sample/MM_S18_Viz_GetUserData path.

For RobotWare6, the file extension is .mod. For RobotWare7, please modify the file extension from .mod to .modx.

Project

Mech-Vision project (one or more custom ports need to be added to the Output Step) and Mech-Viz project (the tool is a depalletizing vacuum gripper)

Prerequisites

  1. You have set up the standard interface communication.

  2. Automatic calibration is completed.

This example program is provided for reference only. Before using the program, please modify the program according to the actual scenario.

Feature Code and description

Store custom data of waypoints

offset_x:=MM_UserData{1};
offset_y:=MM_UserData{2};
offset_z:=MM_UserData{3};
In the Mech-Viz project, custom output data refers to data output by the custom port(s) of the Output Step in Mech-Vision and then forwarded by Mech-Viz.

The robot runs the MM_Get_PlanData command to obtain the Vision Move data of waypoints and custom data of waypoints, and then runs the MM_Get_PlanJps command to save the Vision Move data and custom data that are stored in the robot memory to the MM_Plan_Results and MM_UserData global arrays respectively.

The above code assigns the MM_UserData{1}, MM_UserData{2}, and MM_UserData{3} custom output data that represents three Vision Move waypoints (picking waypoints) to offset_x, offset_y and offset_z, respectively.

You can define the meanings of offset_x, offset_y, and offset_z. For example, they can represent the offset of the robot in each axis of the XYZ coordinate when it moves to the picking waypoint.
