4. Editing a program in ABB RobotStudio

RobotStudio 5.15 comes with a RAPID editor. All ABB robots are programmed using the RAPID language. The RAPID editor provides a development environment similar to Microsoft Visual Studio and gives suggestions and support as the operator writes the robot program. Default arguments can be filled in automatically and instantaneous feedback is provided on the correctness of the code.

Robotic programming can be made easy with tools like this from ABB. Robots.com can help you integrate and choose the right programming option for your robot. If you would like more information, contact us online or call 877-762-6881.

Hello Isma,What are you planning to do with your Kuka robot? The free version of RoboDK might be enough for you to simulate and program Kuka robots.There is a free program editor for Kuka robots: OrangeEdit.

You can select the Fanuc post processor to generate LS code offline. If you have the ASCII upload option you can transfer the LS program directly to the controller. Alternatively, you can compile the LS file to a TP file with the appropriate post processor.More information about post post processors here:

We are glad to hear you liked our posts.

Let me introduce myself. I am a robot teach pendent programmer fanuc abb etc. Also robot simulator and olp programmer of process simulate robcad roboguide etc. Well i dont know much about python c++ etc.

Recently i came across a requirement of my customer where they need to program kuka robot for thermal spray coatings of turbine blades. If you look at the turbine blades its having a very complex geometry and tricky to generate offline program, as you know process simulate or robcad is difficult for complex geometry for olp.

RobotStudio Machine Tending PowerPac (MTPP) is an add-in for RobotStudio. MTPP provides a platform for quick, easy creation, and editing of machine tending robot cells in a 3D virtual environment. The cells are designed to work together with RobotWare Machine Tending. Since MTPP has a library of common grippers and station types, and built-in support for most machines and peripheral equipments, getting a cell up and running in the virtual environment is easy . In addition, safety is simplified with the capability to define safe home position movements in a virtual environment.

I am trying to connect to an IRC5 controller and edit the program. I am able to access RAPID through Robot studio on all the other robots, but on this one, there is no drop down menu to see the modules or programs. Is there a setting that I have to change to make this accessible? It also will not let me put the program modules into a backup and restore it either. I can access the I/O and configuration though when i request write access. Thanks for the help.

RobotWare Machine Tending is designed to be an effective, standalone, controller-based, programming, configuration and operation tool, but is also tightly integrated with the RobotStudio Machine Tending PowerPac. An intuitive and customizable graphical user interface allows for easy production monitoring and control, as well as automatic program and part selection. Although the interface has been designed so that less skilled personnel can control most common tasks, the software also provides unlimited access to powerful rapid coding tools for more advanced users.

Computer-based programming is the best way to maximize return on investment for robotic systems, resulting in lower costs, faster time to market and superior end products. ABB RobotStudio allows programming to be done on a computer without disturbing existing production.

RobotStudio is built on the ABB Virtual Controller, an exact copy of the real software that runs your robots in production. This ensures everything in the virtual world works exactly how it will in the real world, by using real robot programs and configuration files identical to those used on the shop floor.

The processing power of the computer can be used to automatically generate paths based on supplied CAD models, resulting in superior end products. New products can be added to existing lines in the virtual programming environment without disturbing existing production in the real world. For programmers, this method of programming is far more efficient and can be done without the pressure of time or the constraints of preexisting equipment locations. By lowering the barriers to robotic integration through ease of programming, customers and integrators both see reduced costs and faster times to market.

The integrated robot program text editor allows you to view and edit programs loaded into your robot, either real or virtual. Its features include syntax and error highlighting, tooltips, automatic insertion of arguments, and context-sensitive help for robot instructions. There is a data editor that allows tabular editing of program data. You can debug the program by setting breakpoints, step through the program and watch variable values.

The IRC5 controller features TrueMove that provides outstanding path following capabilities. When working with an ABB robot you can be confident that the robot will always follow the programmed path regardless of the programmed speed. In RobotStudio, the programmed path will be visualized to show exactly how the robot will move.

The Signal Analyzer records and displays signals from a robot controller which makes it possible to optimize the robot program. For example, you can record robot speed, power consumption, I/O signals, TCP and joint values. Signal recordings can be exported to Excel for further analysis.

The Virtual FlexPendant allows you to control and monitor the virtual controller in the same way as the real controller. You can for example use it to preview user screens created with ScreenMaker which is a tool in RobotStudio for developing FlexPendant user screens without the need to learn the Visual Studio development environment and .NET programming.

The transfer function allows easy transfer of offline-created robot programs to the real robot on the shop floor. This means that you can transfer data from a virtual controller (which is offline) to a real controller (which is online). You can also compare the programs of the real and virtual controllers.

ABB RobotStudio is the IDE used to program ABB Robot. It can be downloded from ABB website. In the following examples IRB2600-12/1.85 6-axis industrial robot is used. The model is IRB2600 with a payload of 12Kg and a working range of 1.85m.

The following video show ho to create a new virtual controller from scratch. The virtual controller once created, can be run.It show also how to create a module where we declare the main procudre, that is the starting point of robot program.

ABB robot have two kinds of pointers: Program Pointer (PP) and Motion Pointer (MP). The PP is shown as an arrow, and the MP as a robot icon.The Robot controller, in some cases, can execute several instructions following a motion instruction while is moving. In this case on the program editor you can see the Motion pointer on a motion instruction while the program pointer is on following instructions.

RobotStudio allows imports of IGES, STEP, VRML, VDAFS, ACIS and CATIA files. By working with this exact data, robot programmers can generate more accurate robot programs (to get higher product quality).

Collision Detection prevents costly damage to equipment. By selecting the objects concerned, RobotStudio automatically monitors and indicates whether they will collide when a robot program is executed.

ScreenRecorder lets users make recording work in RobotStudio, either the entire GUI or just the graphics viewer. This is useful for demonstrations and training purposes. The ScreenRecorder is based on Microsoft Windows Media Technology.AutoConfiguration allows automatic definition of the optimal robot configuration for a whole path in just one click. VirtualTime lets engineers estimate the true cycle time for the robot program, including logical instructions.

Instruction templates let RobotStudio recognize and program any RAPID instructions. RobotStudio comes with predefined templates for all standard RAPID instructions and you also have the possibilities to create and share templates for your own custom processes and instructions.
