DAC viMate©
The DAC viMate© is a National Instruments LabVIEW based application to interface with a Fanuc Robot Controller. viMate© works in conjunction with Fanuc Robot Server installed on a PC running Microsoft Windows XP or Vista. An Ethernet connection is required between the PC and the robot controller. viMate© provides a library of protected LabVIEW VIs that can be used in a custom LabVIEW application. This library was developed using LabVIEW 8.5 to open a connection to the robot controller through Robot Server and perform the following tasks;
- View and update data registers.
- View and update position registers (X, Y, Z, P, R, W).
- View and update speed rate override.
- Select and run a teach pendant program residing in the robot controller.
- View a list of Teach Pendant programs that reside in the robot controller.
- View and update the robot controller’s Remote State.
- View the current position of the robot in world view (X, Y, Z, P, R, W).
- View the state of the User Operator Panel on the Teach Pendant (Cmd Enabled, Fault, Batt Alarm, Busy).
- View the state of the System Operator Panel on the Teach Pendant (Remote, Cycle Start, Hold, Fault LED, Batt Alarm, TP Enabled).
- View alarm history.
- View active alarms indicator.
- View and set Robot IO.
