Installation and Commissioning

RobView 3.1File managerWhen the user clicks on the File manager button in the Robot Box, the RobView FileManager window is displayed. With the RobView File Manager, maintaining the filesin the robots and making back-up copies of programs is simple.In the RobView File Manager, the user can see both the hierarchy of folders and fileson the PC, and the files in the selected robot. This is especially useful for copying filesusing the familiar Windows “drag-and-drop” interface. The user can copy files andprograms back and forth between the robot and the PC without interrupting production.Files can be renamed and deleted.Batch operationIn the RobView File Manager there is a Batch menu where the user can make batchfiles for file-operations that are tedious and repetitive. A batch file can contain Put-,Get- and Delete-commands. This is useful for example for back-up purposes - a batchfile can be started from a user defined button.User defined controlsIn addition to the robot box control that is ready to use, the user can customiseRobView by defining his own views with lamps, signals, command buttons, etc. on thescreen and link them to variables or I/O in the robot.If the user, for example, wants to keep track of a RAPID variable in the robot, forexample “PartsProduced”, he just defines it on his screen and it will always be updatedand display the correct value. The user can also edit a data field on the PC screen andhave the value sent to the robot. In this way the user can prepare and send productiondata to his robots, e.g. number of parts to produce, type of part, etc., withoutinterrupting production.The user can build complete screens containing customised views of the productioncell, including robots and external equipment with layout-drawings, command buttons,signals and display of data.Product Specification RobotWare for BaseWare OS 3.1 69
