3.7.2. Description of Service Information System (SIS)
General
Service Information System (SIS) is a software function within the robot controller, which
simplifies maintenance of the robot system. It supervises the operating time and mode of the
robot, and alerts the operator when a maintenance activity is scheduled.
Maintenance is scheduled by setting the system parameters of the type SIS Parameters, see
section Setting the SIS parameters on page 240. All system parameters are described in
User´s Guide - System Parameters.
Supervised functions
The following counters are available:
• Calendar time counter, a general alarm based on calendar time
• Operation time counter, a general alarm based on operational time
• Gearbox 1 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 1 gearbox service
interval
• Gearbox 2 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 2 gearbox service
interval
• Gearbox 3 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 3 gearbox service
interval
• Gearbox 6 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 6 gearbox service
interval
Counters are reset when maintenance has been performed.
The counter status is displayed after running the service routine for maintenance. Status “OK”
indicates that no service interval limit has been exceeded by that counter.
Calendar time
This is a clock within the control system that keeps track of the service interval, based on
calendar time.
When the calendar time limit for maintenance is reached, a message is displayed on the TPU.
How to access this is detailed in section Reading the SIS output logs on page 242.
The following information is available about the calendar time in the service routine.
Prev service Date when the counter was reset last time, i.e. after the last service.
Elapsed time Elapsed time since the counter was reset the last time.
Next service Date when next scheduled service is planned. This date is
calculated using system parameters, as detailed in section Setting
the SIS parameters on page 240.
Remaining time Remaining time to next scheduled service date.
