Great video. If you add your scan rate (4 ms) to R1 instead of 1, your counter will be in ms instead of scans. In your check, you can then look for R1 = 2000 ms which is easier to use.
Seriously loving your videos!! I've been playing around with timers in bg logic my robot scans evey 8 msec so if I do R=R+.008 it counts in seconds real time. Just simplifies how much wait time you need 2 instead of 500. But I guess for newer robots it would be +.004.
That's honestly a great idea! I was just doing "counter to real time" math conversions in my head, but this line makes it even clearer. Thanks for sharing!
I've been learning so much from watching the video's you put together. You do such a great job. Have you done one on coordinated motion? I am very interested to learn more about that option.
Thanks so much! I'm glad the videos are helping! As far as coordinated motion, I haven't done one yet that marries two robots together but I have done one that shows a robot on a rail for coordinated Aux Axis programming. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/OB1E_wmlfCk/v-deo.html Maybe in the future I can do one with 2 robots though. Thanks!
Professor, I am also very interested in a video of the coordinated movement of two robots. I would appreciate it if you could make a video on the subject in the future
Thats awesome! I just went through this with vision on a SCARA, trying to trigger vision routines in the BG logic on a process that is external to the robots operation. BG logic has saved me so many times!
Good question; I've always been under the ideology that anything on the TP with multi-color either means it has dual functions (meaning normal button or SHIFT+Button), OR, it is motion related. So my best guess is that since STEP changes how the motion is executed, FANUC made it partially blue like the Jog keys. (total SWAG here)
@@AdamWillea Thank you, I thought it may have a function that could have been associated with something other then Spot Tool+ which is what I am using.
Nice. Quick question will the scan time ever change? If it can is there a way to move the scan time to another register then your rung would look like r1=r1+r2 vs r1=r1+1? You could also do some math in regards to the scan time or r2 ?
Hey I’m a programmer for an auto manufacturing company that uses fanuc robots, I was curious if there is anyway to setup IR vision to recognize a failed picture or a no part picture and use that to offset from that point forward or backward to attempt the picture again. In our case some of the spindles the parts ride on get paint built up under them and they lean slightly or the chain gets offset and it only gets part of the pet in the photo, therefore failing to identify the part and rejecting it. Just curious as I have been trying and could not seem to find a way to do so.
We suffer when you go away for a long time ... :( your videos are so informative and we really apreciate them!

Very cool! Great content! 👍🏻
Nice video, thank you!
Very cool.
Q. Why is the step key multi-color?
Good question; I've always been under the ideology that anything on the TP with multi-color either means it has dual functions (meaning normal button or SHIFT+Button), OR, it is motion related.
