The following example show how to set Puma robot properties using softMC Configurator and how to make Helix movement and Pick and Place method using it.
Puma Robot

Download Example Files

Description Download
It's recommended to download the example ZIP file, extract all the project files, open project with ControlStudio, and run the example by yourself. You will find files description table bellow (4.1). The instructions will be listed below. Download.png

System Setup

In this example we used the following system:

  • softMC 7.
  • Six CDHD drivers connected to six motors
  • Computer with ControlStudio and softMC Configurator.
  • Example files - Programs, setups, properties and more. You can find files description down bellow (4.1)

Wiring as shown:

NOTE-Info.svgNOTE
The connection between softMC 7 to CDHD drivers is through EtherCAT cables and sockets (daisy chain) when C5 socket for incoming data, and C6 for outgoing data.

The motors parameters calculate according to the manufacture formulas as it's appear in the Excel file.

softMC Configurator

To upload the example setups to your sofMC Configurator, open the example .mcfg file from the softMC Configurator.

After creating all project files with softMC Configurator or upload an existing project, you can run your Puma robot from ControlStudio or from the softMC Configurator itself.
In this example we will make a helical movement and execute Pick and Place program with MC-Basic program, from ControlStudio terminal.

For more information about how to setup Puma robot parameters using softMC Configurator - look here

Running The Program

To upload the example setups to your ControlStudio, open the example .apj file from the Controlstudio.
When all relevant files upload to your controller, use the following code, from ControlStudio-terminal to run the example:

-->reset all
-->load AUTOEXEC.PRG   'wait until the program will terminate
-->load HELIX.PRG      'Load helical movement program
-->Stas HELIX.PRG 
-->load PnP.PRG        'Load Pick and Place program  
-->Stas PnP.PRG
