5.7 Supervision
Motion supervision
The controller software has the motion supervision functionality aiming at reducing
collision impact forces on the robot. This helps protecting the robot and external
equipment from severe damage if a collision occurs.
Motion supervision during program execution is always active, regardless which
options are installed in the controller. When a collision is detected, the robot will
immediately stop and relieve the residual forces by moving in reversed direction
a short distance along its path. The program execution will stop with an error
message. The robot remains in the Motors on state so that program execution can
be resumed after the collision error message has been acknowledged.
Moreover, there is a software option called Collision Detection , which has extra
features such as supervision during jogging. To find out if your system has this
option installed, tap the
QuickSet icon on the status bar, tap the Info tab, and look
for the option 3107-1 Collision Detection . For more information on Collision
Detection , see Application manual - Controller software OmniCore .
Functions in RobotWare base
• Path Supervision in automatic and manual full speed mode is used to prevent
mechanical damage due to the robot running into an obstacle during program
execution.
• Non motion execution is used to run a program without robot motion.
Functions in Collision Detection
A RobotWare system with Collision Detection has additional functionality:
• Path Supervision in manual mode and the possibility to tune supervision in
all modes.
• Jog Supervision is used to prevent mechanical damage to the robot during
jogging.
• RAPID instruction
MotionSup
is used to activate/deactivate collision detection
and to tune sensitivity during program execution.
Note
All motion supervision must be set for each task separately.
