Example Program 4: MM_S4_Vis_ChangeModel

Program Introduction

Description

The robot switches the Mech-Vision parameter recipe, and then triggers the Mech-Vision project to run to obtain the vision result for picking and placing.

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_S4_Vis_ChangeModel path.

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

Project

Mech-Vision project

The parameter recipe must be configured beforehand for the Mech-Vision project.

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.

Program Description

This part describes the MM_S4_Vis_ChangeModel example program.

The only difference between the MM_S4_Vis_ChangeModel example program and the MM_S1_Vis_Basic example program is that MM_S4_Vis_ChangeModel can switch the parameter recipe in the Mech-Vision project (this code of this feature is bolded). As such, only the feature of switching the parameter recipe is described in the following section. For information about the parts of MM_S4_Vis_ChangeModel that are consistent with those of MM_S1_Vis_Basic, see Example Program 1: MM_S1_Vis_Basic.

Feature Code and description

Switch the Mech-Vision parameter recipe

!switch recipe of NO.1 Mech-Vision project, "MM_Switch_Model Proj_num,Model_num;"
MM_Switch_Model 1,1;
  • MM_Switch_Model: The command to switch the Mech-Vision parameter recipe.

  • First 1: The Mech-Vision project ID.

  • Second1: The ID of the parameter recipe in the Mech-Vision project.

In this entire statement, the parameter recipe of the Mech-Vision project whose ID is 1 is switched to recipe 1.
