Title: How to change the Generic Robot Axis speed
Post by: Joana27 on January 22, 2010, 03:18:11 PM
I'm using the EasyPLC suite for my final-year project at university, and now I'm stopped because I don't know how to make the following issue:
I'm using four Generic Articulated Robots to simulate an automatized assembly process, but I need to change the robot's axis speed in some specific cases, increasing or decreasing the speed, for example when they start to moving I need some acceleration or apply deceleration (reduce the speed) when they are approaching to the destination point.
A friend of mine told me that I could do it change the robot's code property, but I pretty newbie on C# programming. :'(
Please I need help!, some of you know how I can do it???

Thank you very much in advance! ;)

Indeed, the way to be able to add acceleration to the robot axes is changing the behavior of the component through code property.
There's a lot of ways to do it, I attach you an example, where the component parameters are used to assing the PLC data stack elements used to set the axes speed.

Copy this component on your Machines Simulation Components folder (previously you must download the Generic Artuculated Robot form downloads section in nirtec web site).

Good luck on your college thesis.
