1.4 System Overview and Variations
The EduCart design accommodates a single robot with an electric gripper.
The EduCart is guarded by an area scanner when the system operates in
PLAY mode. The design of the EduCart places a YRC1000micro
Controller within the structure of the EduCart. Care is taken to redirect
airflow away from the users, but also provide proper airflow to cool the
internal parts of the YRC1000micro Controller.
The Manipulator comes with an electric gripper attached to the
Manipulator. This gripper can be used to grab things using:
•
internal grip mode
- this holds the TCP pointer or a marker
•
external grip mode
- this capture the block
The EduCart solution supports a Programming Pendant. A user can
interact with the virtual I/O while in PLAY mode using the Programming
Pendant. More details on this is covered in
chapter 5 “Configuration of the
.
In PLAY mode, an area scanner monitors access to the EduCart. If a
person or object violates the monitored area, the area scanner will change
output states to an E-Stop condition. Removing the obstruction
automatically resets the area scanner but leaves the servo off. To continue
the operational cycle restart the cycle by pressing [SERVO ON] and then
the START button on the Programming Pendant.
