If you do not customize your application, I/O handling at program abort is done automatically. However, if you customize your application you must set up PalletToo! so that any DOs that should be turned off at program abort are handled properly. Make sure that the application outputs that should be turned off at program abort are indicated in the variable ABORT_DOUTS in the KAREL program PMPALT. ABORT_DOUTS is an array of 16. Each element of the array can contain a digital output number. This means that you can set as many as 16 digital outputs in this variable, If your application uses more than 16 outputs , you must be sure that the outputs that must be tured off at program abort are included in ABORT_DOUTS|1] through ABORT_DOUTS{16] Use Procedure 12-11.

When a part drop has. been detected, PLCPDREC.TP will be run instead of displaying the part drop recovery menu. Use Procedure 12-10 Recovering from Dropped Units using a PLC to recover from a dropped part when using a PLC. [B NOTE: To bypass the Part Drop Checking feature, you must set "Part drop recovery enable” in the SETUP Pallet System menu to NO. Disabling Part Drop Checking during a Unit Cycle If there is no real problem, send Gl[1] = 1 through PLC communications and the robot will continue to palletize. Part drop checking will then be disabled for the rest of the unit cycle This is the same as False Alarm : Continue from the Part Drop Recovery Menu. Performing the entire Pick and Place Cycle again To perform the entire pick and place cycle again, set Gi[1] = 2 through PLC communications. This is the same as Pick again and continue from the Part Drop Recovery Menu. All units must be out of the gripper to perform this recovery option. If any units are in the gripper, you must first remove them using Procedure 12-10 Recovering from Dropped Units using a PLC. Procedure 12-10 Recovering from Dropped Units using a PLC Con: * The robot is running production = Part drop recovery is enabled on the SETUP PalletSystem menu. * Response method is set to PLC on the SETUP PalletSystem ~ menu - = The robot has dropped a part, stops, then calls PLCPDREC.TP and waits for a response. Step 1 set Gi[1]=4 through PLC communications to move the robot - to gripper maintenance or Gift] = 5 to move the robot to Perch. 2 When the robot arrives at the position, press EMERGENCY STOP. 3.

If your application does not use DI[28] for PLCCSTOP, you must modify WCELLMON.TP to indicate which digital input is used. 2. PalletToo! will run PLCCSTOP.TP. This program ‘communicates with the PLC to obtain the choices for continuing, Refer to Procedure 5.5 Stopping Production for selection choices, 3. To select continue operation the PLC needs to send a 1 by getting the robot's Gi[1]=1. The robot will then continue palletizing from the point at which it was stopped. 4 Ifyou are using PalletTool Turbo, refer to INTINDPL.TP for PLC communications. 5 Ifyou are using PalletTool, to select change product the PLC needs to set Gi[1] on the robot to 2. This will then run PLCPART.TP. The PLC will then need to send all cycle start data back to the robot. 6 To select Index pallet (from cycle stop only) the PLC needs to set Gi[1] on the robot to 3. The PLC will then need to set GI[1] on the robot to the pallet number to be indexed. If the end of batch option is enabled and if any units remain at the infeed, the robot will perform one pick for the remaining units, place them on the pallet, and then index the pallet out of the workcell. Refer to Section 5.4 for more information on the end of batch option. For information on PLC controller handshaking, refer to the PLCCSTOP.TP program.12-32 Unit Load Setup MATGGPTSPO415CE a 12.5.3 Stopping Production using a PLC You can stop production in the following ways: * PLC automatic partial pallet indexing. Refer to Procedure 5.9 Stopping Production from the PLC by Indexing a Partial Pallet. * Set Di[28] Cycle Stop = ON. The robot will finish the current pick and return to the perch position. If Response Method in Pallet System setup is set to PLC, PLCCSTOP.TP will initiate communication with the PLC for the response of how to continue. If Response Method is set to TP, the Cycle Stop menu will be displayed. Refer to Section 5.2.5 ‘© Press the C_STOP (F3) function key on the STATUS Prod Data screen. The robot finish the current pick and place cycle and return to perch position. If Response Method in Pallet System setup is set to PLC, PLCCSTOP.TP wil initiate ‘communication with the PLC for the response of how to continue. If Response Method is set to TP, the Cycle Stop menu will be displayed. Refer to Section 5.2.5 PLC Automat Partial Pallet Indexing If you want to index one or more partially filled pallets out of the workcell automatically, you might have to modify the teach pendant program WCELLMON.TP (refer Appendix B.70), to indicate the digital input that should be activated by the PLC for automatic indexing. By default, Di[29] is used to initiate automatic partial pallet index. If you want to pick up stranded end-of-batch boxes, you can use the end of batch option. Refer to Section 12.5.1 When you set up partial pallet indexing correctly, ‘+ If the robot is palletizing at the pallet station that you want to index, the pallet will index at the end of the current pick-and-place cycle. «If the robot is not palletizing at the pallet station you want to index, the pallet will index immediately if you are using PalletTool. If you are using PalletTool Turbo, the pallet is always indexed at the end of the current pick and place cycle. After the pallet indexes, the data for the new unit load to be built at that station will be initialized, Refer to Procedure 12-7 Stopping Production from the PLC by Indexing a Partial Pallet to index a partial pallet If you want to index multiple partial pallets, you must index them sequentially. Repeat Procedure 12-7 Stopping Production from the PLC by Indexing a Partial Pallet for each pallet12:30 Unit Load Setup MATGGPTSPO415CE a —— Refer to Section 11.17 for detailed information on setting up PalletTool using the SETUP Pallet System screen If Part ID method = PLC When a START is given (from any source) the robot will request the PLC to send the pallet number, infeed number, and unit load numbers using the PLCPART. TP program To index a partial pallet from the PLC To index a partial pallet from the PLC, the PLC sets DI[29] to ON. PalletToo! will then run the PLCINDEX.TP program to determine which pallet to index. To perform an end of batch procedure before indexing a partial pallet If End of batch enable = YES, the PLC sets DI[29] to ON. PalletTool will then run PLCINDEX.TP to determine the pallet to index. But, before indexing the partial pallet, the robot picks up the remaining units on the infeed and places them on the pallet. Changing the Number of Layers On-the-Fly When DI[30] is received by the robot, the number of layers to build for the same unit load on the next pallet will be changed. PalletToo! will run PLCLAYER. TP to determine the pallet number and number of layers. Refer to Section 5.2.7 for more information about changing the number of layers on-the-fly.12-28 Unit Load Setup - MATGGPTSPO415CE 7, Ready to receive _| This is asking are you going to be alternating | Mi Altermate Infeed from Infeed to Infeed generally 0 If there is more than one Infeed and pallet station that use different unit loads, then item 1 addresses the number of cycles.
