The MRC Advanced Programming Module is an advanced course for the MRC controller and programming of the Motoman ¨ K- and SK-series industrial robots. Students are required to possess basic pro- gramming knowledge of the controller and K-/SK-series robots prior to attending this training module. The MRC Basic Programming Module is a prerequisite to the MRC Advanced Programming Module.
Students learn to perform advanced functions with the MRC controller and K- or SK-series robots.
Primary topics include:
- Advanced I/O programming
- Introduction to Concurrent I/O
- Application of variable data
- Defining and using position variables
- Use of system variables
- Naming variables
- Advanced arithmetic instructions
- Floppy disk drive operations
- Defining cubic interference zones
- Setting axes soft limits
- Job shifting
- Software options such as PMT, Relative Job, Concurrent Job, Interrupt Job, Search Function, and External Reference Point n Customizing parameters
Course Overview
Classroom lectures on programming commands are reinforced with demonstrations. Commands and topics are related to real-world examples and applications. Material covered in lectures is enhanced with actual hands-on programming by students in Motoman's 13,400-sq.ft. training facility. Students perform work- shop exercises which emphasize topics covered in class lectures. Class size is kept small, typically 6 or fewer, to promote an interactive, hands-on learning atmosphere. This allows students to work closely with Motoman instructors to grasp the concepts of robot programming.
Course Materials
Students receive the MRC Advanced Training Manual, as well as handouts that relate to specific topics covered in the class. Students are urged to take notes, participate in discussions, and to bring up specific programming issues.
Prerequisite
MRC Basic Programming
Notes
