5.9 Serial measurement board memory
Serial measurement board (SMB)
The serial measurement board (SMB) primarily gathers resolver data from the
robot’s (or additional axes) motors. This data is used to measure the speed and
position of each axis. Each SMB is capable of measuring up to 7 axes. It also stores
a number of data pertaining to each robot.
This data is used by the controller and can be transferred between the SMB and
the controller. Normally, the data is transferred automatically, but it can also be
done manually.
The SMB data is affected when:
• The robot is replaced
• The SMB is replaced
• The controller (or its flash disk or mass memory unit) is replaced.
• Updating with new calibration data
The following data is stored on the SMB:
• Serial number for the mechanical unit
• Joint calibration data
• SIS data (Service Information System)
Note that if the IRC5 controller is to be connected to a robot with an older SMB,
not equipped with data storage capability, the SMB must be replaced.
SMB data update
then... If...
the data stored in the SMB is automatically
copied to the controller memory. the flash disk or mass memory or the com-
plete controller is new or replaced by an un-
used spare part...
the data stored in the controller memory is
automatically copied to the robot SMB
memory. the SMB is replaced by a new, unused, spare
part SMB...
the data in the controller memory and the
robot SMB memory is different. You must
update the controller memory manually
from the the robot SMB memory.
the flash disk or the complete controller is
replaced by a spare part, previously used in
another system...
the data in the controller memory and the
robot SMB memory is different. You must
first
clear the data in the new robot SMB
memory , and then update the robot SMB
memory with the data from the controller
memory.
the SMB is replaced by a spare part SMB,
previously used in another system...
the data in the controller memory and the
robot SMB memory is different. You must
update the robot SMB memory manually
from the controller memory.
new calibration data has been loaded via
RobotStudio or using the FlexPendant and
the system has been restarted...
Check that the new calibration values belong
to a manipulator with the serial number
defined in your system.
