ROBOT CONTROLiec

ONE SOFTWARE ONE CONTROLLERA NEW WAY TO MANAGE THE CONTROL OF AUTOMATED MOTIONIt’s time for something new.

You’re ready for the convenience of having one vendor for everything in motion automation: one hardware platform, one software and one programming standard.

Tired of hiring expensive robot programming experts, or of rewriting machine code every time your system integrates a new mechanism?

Yaskawa understands. That’s why we created an easier way.

IEC ROBOT CONTROL: POWER FOR THE REST OF USFamiliar with standard ladder logic and function block programming?

You’re ready to take control of programming every component in a complete automation system... including robots as well as servo systems and variable frequency drives.

• Manage every system component with one software package, running on one motion controller.

• Migrate a motion axis from servos to robots and back again, without changing the application code.

• Do it all with the same IEC 61131-3 programming format that your team is already skilled and comfortable with utilizing

THE COMPLETE MECHATRONIC CONTINUUM:ONE SYSTEM UNDER YASAWA

Single-source solutions are only as good as the source standing behind them. IEC Robot control draws from the exper-tise, reputation and strength of Yaskawa, a 100 year old global leader with an impressive track record in industrial automation.

FOR EVERYTHING IN MOTION: n ROBOTS n SERVO SYSTEMS n LOGIC n VFDs

• A complete family of picking, packing and palletizing robots: • MPP3S Delta robots: 3 kg payload, 150 cpm, 800 or 1300 mm horiz. reach (pick) • MH5/MH5L: 6-20 kg payload, 450-1000 mm horiz. reach (pick/pack) • GP8: 8kg payload, 727/1312 horiz/vert reach (pick/pack) • MH12/MH24: 12-24 kg payload, 6-axis, up to 1730/3088 horiz/vert reach (pack) • MPK50: 50 kg payload, 4 axis, 1893/1668 horiz/vert reach (pack/palletize) • MPL80: 80 kg payload, 5 axis, 261/3291 horiz/vert reach (palletize) • 4 X/Y/Z gantry robots: 2 T-bots and 2 H-bots• SIGMA-7 SERVO SYSTEMS: fast and precise rotary, direct drive and linear models, with advanced autotuning software• VIPA SLIO I/O: add 64 I/O points per module, with one touch configandwebinterface

Plus a constantly growing list of compatible devices, with code availabletoaddanydeviceneededforanapplication-specificchallenge.

MotionWorksIEC was created to be fast as well as familiar, with time-sav-ing features that speed up results.

• Re-usable motion code libraries to cut down the time and tedium of standard operations

• A built-in cam editor with ten powerful camming function blocks

Yaskawa Toolboxes with application code for higher level automation tasks, created by Yaskawa applica-tion programming experts. For details, turn the page to see our Toolbox section.If you are familiar with the conventions of IEC 61131-3 programming, you’ll be instantly at home in MotionWorks-IEC. Yaskawa’s automation program-ming software is built on the

conventional tools that automation professionals are already familiar with:• Ladder logic

• Structured text

• PLCopen function blocks

• Instruction lists

• Sequential function charts

ONE SOFTWARE:

ONE CONTROLLER: MP3300IECThe entire IEC Robot Control solution is centered on a single MP3300iec motion controller. An MP3300iec is able to operate any type of robot, gantry or special robotic mechanism without the need for a separate robot controller. It is practical to combine control for all the robots, servos and variable frequency drives of an entire automation system in a single MP3300iec.

• Up to 32 axes of motion

• Web server for maintenance and

update tasks through a standard web

browser

• Networking options: Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP and Mechatrolink III

• Easy interface with HMI and I/O solutions

• Frees up PLC capacity for other system tasks

Some of the most powerful toolboxes center around the Group, a foundational building block in the core architec-ture of the controller software.

The Group approach embeds the electromechanical details of managing compound servo motion in a lower level of the software, freeing the application programmer to focus on moving a complete mechanism from one point in space to another. This makes it possible to simply replace one type of robot with another, without replacing a line of application programming.

TOMORROW: SHARPER TOOLSDon’tseeatoolboxtomeetyourspecificautomationneed?Stay tuned. The nature of IEC 61131-3 automation programming makes it possible to be constantly updating and improving the Toolbox selection, both with new applicationsandfinetuningofexistingtoolboxes.

This makes IEC Robot Control more than simply a solution. It’s a constantly evolving family of solutions that keeps automation professionals like you continually on the leading edge of advances in the art and science of motion automation.

THE GROUP CONCEPT:CONVERTING MACHINE CODETO POINT-TO-POINT MOTION

READY MADE AND REUSABLE FOR COMMON AUTOMATION FUNCTIONS One of the key strengths of the IEC61131-3 programming environment is the ability to develop libraries of re-usable code. Yaskawa has expanded this capability to create a powerful set of Application Code Toolboxes. This func-tion is in addition to the library of Yaskawa motion code elements available for basic programming functions.

The Toolboxes may be imported into user programs as a User Library to form the foundation of complete custom-ized solutions. Each Toolbox was authored and tested by Yaskawa experts in robot and motion application programming, in cooperation with some of the world’s most sophisticated automation users.

CHOOSE FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF TOOLBOX TYPES AVAILABLE TOOLBOXES INCLUDE:

• Group: a toolbox that supports the PLCopen Part 4 library for group motion, combining basic PLCopen function blocks to help users start and test applications faster. Contains MC_MovePath, which combines the various individual move types in the PLCopen library to create a continuous path. Manages the distribution of products, allowing queuing, sortation, picking and placing between multiple mechanisms and balancing utilization of all mechanisms within a system.

• Cam: providesenhancedcammingcapabilitiesforprofilegeneration, registration, and E-Stop recovery.

• PackML: implements the PackML state machine along with functions for error handling and OEE calculations. An editable template project demonstrates a PackML implementation and can be used as a starter for a user application.

• Kinematics: provides forward and inverse kinematic calculations for a variety of mechanicalconfigurations,includinggantries,H-bots,T-bots,SCARA,delta and articulated robots. Custom kinematics can also be created and added to the Kinematics toolbox.

• MotoPick IEC:streamlinesthedefinitionanddesignofpickingandplacing applications, including patterns, pick locations, way points and other variables. Creates a function block that parses pick/pack data for MC_MovePath inside the Group Toolbox.

• MotoPack IEC: generates and executes optimum paths for a pick and place routine. Users can enter parameters (layers, patterns to be picked, locations for pick and place, etc.) which are are combined to make a path that the MC_MovePath function block utilizes to perform the pick and place operation. Includes CP_PathGenerator, which creates a pack sequence for use by MC-MovePath in the Group Toolbox.

• Pendant: performs all manual operations of a robot teach pendant, for use with robots or any other motion automation mechanism. Manual operations include:

• Jogging : in various coordinate frames like MCS, PCS, TCS and ACS. 4 speed levels to chose from

• Teach points in mechanism work area. Jog to taught points

• Teach part frames

• Enter tool offsets

• Display errors and messages

• Storetaughtpointsandpartframesintothecontroller(MPiec)flash memory and retrieve it

• The pendant driver supports any pendant that can communicate with the MPiec using Modbus TCP

• VFD: communicate with Yaskawa Variable Frequency Drives over an Ethernet/IP connection.
