2.1.4. General description of the synchronization process

Example with a press

This example shows the very basic steps when synchronization is used for material handling

for a press.

When... Then...

the press is closed and

ready to start

a signal from the robot controller (or PLC) orders the press to

start.

the press starts open For Sensor Synchronization, the synchronization switch is

triggered and a sensor object is created in the object queue.

The robot connects to the object.

For both Sensor Synchronization and Analog Synchronization,

the robot moves, synchronized with the press, towards the

press and reaches it when the press is open enough.

the press is open enough

for the robot to enter

the robot places (or removes) a work piece in the press. The

synchronization is ended.

For Sensor Synchronization, the sensor object is then dropped

(removed from the object queue).
