Program Introduction

Description

The robot triggers the Mech-Viz project to run, obtains the planned path, and then stores the planned path by looping 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/FANUC/sample/MM_S12_Viz_ForLoop path.

Project

Mech-Vision and Mech-Viz projects

Prerequisites

You have set up the Standard Interface communication.
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_S12_Viz_ForLoop example program.

The MM_S12_Viz_ForLoop example program is similar to the MM_S2_Viz_Basic example program, except that MM_S2_Viz_Basic stores waypoints one by one and MM_S12_Viz_ForLoop stores waypoints by looping (the code of this feature is bolded). As such, the features of MM_S12_Viz_ForLoop that are similar to those of MM_S2_Viz_Basic are not described in this part. For more information about these features, see Example Program 2: MM_S2_Viz_Basic.

Store the planned path by looping	`32: !for-loop structure ; 33: FOR R[100]=1 TO R[51] ; 34: R[101]=59+R[100] ; 35: R[102]=69+R[100] ; 36: R[103]=79+R[100] ; 37: CALL MM_GET_JPS(R[100],R[101],R[102],R[103]) ; 38: ENDFOR ;` Line 33: FOR indicates the start of a loop segment. R[100] is used to control the number of iterations (beginning at 1, R[100] increments by 1 after each iteration until it surpasses the value set in R[51], at which point the loop ends). R[51] is the numeric register indicated by the second parameter in the MM_GET_VIZ command. The numeric register stores the number of waypoints that are returned by the vision system. As such, R[100] can indicate the position ID of the current waypoint in the planned path. Lines 34 to 36: R[101], R[102], and R[103] represent the registers used for the joint positions, label, and tool ID that correspond to the current waypoint, respectively. Line 37: The MM_Get_Jps command stores the joint positions, label, and tool ID of a specific waypoint in the specific registers. The entire command stores the joint positions, label, and tool ID of the waypoint with an ID of the R[100] value in the R[101], R[102], and R[103] registers respectively. Assuming that the path planned in this example program contains three waypoints, the above for loop is equivalent to the following three commands in the MM_S2_Viz_Basic example program: `CALL MM_GET_JPS(1,60,70,80) ; CALL MM_GET_JPS(2,61,71,81) ; CALL MM_GET_JPS(3,62,72,82) ;`

Line 37: The MM_Get_Jps command stores the joint positions, label, and tool ID of a specific waypoint in the specific registers.

Assuming that the path planned in this example program contains three waypoints, the above for loop is equivalent to the following three commands in the MM_S2_Viz_Basic example program:

  CALL MM_GET_JPS(1,60,70,80) ;
  CALL MM_GET_JPS(2,61,71,81) ;
  CALL MM_GET_JPS(3,62,72,82) ;
