Initial Start-Up

Overview

This chapter explains the steps to operate a Lexium T Robot in the program.

The required libraries are:

• SchneiderElectricRobotics

• SchneiderElectricRobotics Parameters

• Robotic or RoboticModule

Instances

Every Lexium T Robot requires its own instance of SER.FB_RobotTSeries. (for example fbTSeries: SER.FB_RobotTSeries) and its instance of ROB.FB_Robot (for example fbRobot: ROB.FB_Robot) or an instance of the RM.FB_RoboticModule.

Initialize

Initialize the Lexium T Robot by calling the method fbTSeries.InitializeRobot().

For the main drives A and B, the parameter needs to be adapted.

Connect the FB_RobotTSeries to the FB_Robot by configuring the FB_Robot. Call fbRobot.ifConfiguration.SchneiderElectricRobot() for the RoboticModule and accordingly stRobotInterface.iq_ifConfiguration.SchneiderElectricRobot(). At the input i_ifRobot, assign fbTSeries.ifSchneiderElectricRobot.

The configuration is completed by calling the methods SetEmergencyParameter() and ConfigDone().

See example below.

Additional Configuration

The Lexium T Robot can be adapted with several methods:

• SetKinematicParameter()

• SetControlLoopParameter()

Call SER.SR_SlowCyclicExecution

Call the program SER.SR_SlowCyclicExecution in a task with task interval 10 ms.

The program has to be called only once, even if several robots of SchneiderElectricRobotics are used.
