Example Program 6: MM_S6_Viz_ErrorHandle

Program Introduction

Description

The robot starts the Mech-Viz project, obtains the planned path, and then determines whether the planned path is obtained successfully according to the status code. If the planned path is obtained successfully, the robot will perform picking and placing; otherwise, the robot will pause.

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/YASKAWA/sample/MM_S6_Viz_ErrorHandle path.

Project

Mech-Vision and Mech-Viz projects

Prerequisites

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_S6_Viz_ErrorHandle example program.

The only difference between the MM_S6_Viz_ErrorHandle example program and the MM_S2_Viz_Basic example program is that MM_S6_Viz_ErrorHandle can handle errors based on the different error codes (this code of this feature is bolded). As such, only the feature of handling errors based on the specific error codes is described in the following section. For information about the parts of MM_S6_Viz_ErrorHandle that are consistent with those of MM_S2_Viz_Basic, see Example Program 2: MM_S2_Viz_Basic.

  • INC: Increment the value of the specified variable by 1.

  • JUMP: Jump to the specified position ID or program.

After MM_GET_VIZDATA is executed, the robot stores the received status code in the I053 variable. You can perform the corresponding operation based on the specific received error code.

  • When the I053 variable is set to 2100, the robot has successfully obtained the planned path. Then, the robot will perform picking by taking the planned path.

  • When the I053 variable is not set to 2100, an exception has occurred in the vision system. You need to perform the corresponding operation based on the specific error code.

    • When the I053 variable is set to 2038, no point cloud exists in the ROI, i.e., the robot cannot obtain the planned path. In this case, the robot can try to trigger the Mech-Viz project to run again to obtain the planned path. The number of times to re-obtain the planned path is controlled by the I005 variable in the example program. If no point cloud exists after two retry attempts (i.e., I005 is greater than 2), the program pauses.

    • When the I053 variable is set to another error code, the program pauses.

You can write the error handling code by referring to the Status Codes and Troubleshooting manual.
