FAQ – ROBO Cylinder/XSEL Controller
March 10th, 2009 Posted in FAQ
Q: When the ROBO Cylinder gets caught during push-motion operation and stops, is it possible to slightly reverse the actuator and perform the push-motion again? How is the actuator reversed?
A: If the actuator gets caught and a position complete signal is output, return the actuator by the necessary distance in the push mode by means of incremental move. (If incremental move is used in the positioning mode, the actuator will return by the distance calculated from the starting point of push-motion operation. For your information, whether or not the actuator has stopped due to catching can be determined by setting a zone signal).
Q: Is it possible to monitor the details of variables and progress of the program online in the auto mode with the XSEL controller?
A: Yes, normally the teaching port cannot be used in the auto mode, but you can enable the port by changing the setting of I/O parameter No. 90 from “0” to “1”. You can monitor the variables and running of the program using your PC software or teaching pendant in this condition. For more information on monitor methods, refer to “Monitor” in the operation manual for your PC software or teaching pendant.
