Learning goals

• This class merges two separate trainsnings into one. The first part is the system integrator training:
• System integrators implementing Yaskawa Robots need to adhere to specific guidelines to ensure proper operation of robot systems. This class is designed to prepare the trainee set up a robot and access the controller in specific ways to e.g., attach an end effector and connect it. Furthermore, several special job types that differ from the regular robot job will be discussed. These job types greatly expand the possibilities of programming structure.
• The second part is concerning the inter PLC of the robot controller:
• The Yaskawa robot controller can be used as a standalone device, with no relation to any other devices. However, in most cases it will be a part of a bigger system. To integrate a robot into such a system will require some form of communication between the controller and any other elements of the system, including a PLC. This type of communication cannot be achieved without including the internal PLC of the robot controller. In some rare cases the internal PLC is used to set up the robot controller as the master of a network, replacing a conventional PLC. This class focuses on the structure and operation of the internal PLC to adjust it to its application specific needs.
