F3 Calibration & Re-Homing

F3 Calibration

This is the process of defining a reference angle for each joint. The system
uses this reference to report the current joint configuration of the robot and

to carry out motion-related computations.

A calibration file is created as a result of calibrating the robot. It contains a
precision location representing the offsets necessary to add to the encoder
outputs in determining the joint configuration of the robot.

In F3 robot systems released in late 1997 and first part of 1998, the
calibration file is generically named robot.cal during factory burn-in. In

newer systems, the serial number of the robot is used as the file name - e.g.
raf10035.cal. This file is located in the directory /conf and is sought by the
controller upon power up of the controller.

If the calibration file is present, the message “F3 calibrated” is sent to the
terminal as part of the startup report and the “home” light on the front panel

is lit. If not, the absence of the file is reported and the home light is not lit.

Calibration is carried out at CRS as part of the burn-in procedure. It is
typically not recommended that a user re-calibrate a robot on-site. But if
absolutely necessary, contact the Customer Support Group at CRS for the
recommended calibration procedure.

Restoration of Calibration File

In addition to calibration and re-homing, there may be situations which
require restoration of calibration. This need arises when neither structural

change nor battery problems have occurred, but the calibration file is lost
from controller memory because of inadvertent erasure or change of
firmware. To restore calibration, all that is required is to download the
calibration file from your backups into the /conf directory. Use the File
Transfer command in the C500 menu.

F3 Re-Homing

Although the absolute encoders in the F3 system eliminate the need for

homing, it may be necessary to re-align the robot with a reference
configuration represented by a given calibration file. This process of re-
homing is different from the process of re-calibration.

Typically, re-homing is necessary when the encoders have to be reset
because of battery error or other reasons. If there is no change in the

mechanical structure of the robot, re-homing rather than re-calibration is
necessary; the calibration file or its backup is available and there are
calibration markers indicating the configuration in which the encoders have
been last reset.

Any battery problem is typically detected and reported at startup. The
necessary solution includes resetting the encoders (see step 3 in the re-

homing procedure below) and leaving the controller on for at least 72 hours
to recharge the batteries. Robot applications can be carried out during this
recharging period.
