See Three Robots Run On One Yaskawa Controller

View Yaskawa’s Singular Control at work, as a single MP3300iec machine controller operates three completely different types of robotic mechanisms. The robot arm, gantry, and delta robots use the same programming function blocks in the same MotionWorks IEC software, making it possible to operate multiple mechanisms at the same time or switch from one robot to another within the same workday.

00:00:07 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all three devices that we had in the video can be run off the same single MP 3318 controller in short all they have to do is to point to the correct mechanism in this project once he does that the controller is going to run the

00:00:48 second mechanism the code is going to remain the same they will not have to make any changes to the project that he had for the previous mechanism at all it's just a matter of minutes the global search and a global replace just like you do in Microsoft Word or any other Word document it's probably gonna save you weeks if not months of programming time in the past if you had to switch

00:01:10 from mechanism to mechanism you the controls engine would have to derive the equations to run the other mechanism and then go to the drawing board and figure out the details of how motion could be implemented on the new mechanism and then program it again from scratch instead we have taken all that pain and we've done all that all the math and the kinematics and embedded it into our

00:01:33 function blocks so the user basically does not have to recreate all the math behind it it gives it frees them more time and gives them more time to to focus on their machine rather than on the code for the machine you
