Changing the robot speed

 

 

 

You can select the robot speed to accommodate the task you are performing. For example, you can select the Slow speed when you are creating new teachpoints or diagnosing problems with the system. When you are confident that problems are resolved and want to run a final check, you can select the Fast speed.

The speed you select in DDR Diagnostics applies only to the robot commands in DDR Diagnostics (jog direction, Move to, Pick from, Place to, and Transfer).

To select the robot speed:

In DDR Diagnostics, select one of the following from the Speed list: Fast, Medium, or Slow.

 

Note: During a protocol run, the robot will use the speed selection in the VWorks software Tools > Options dialog box. If the robot is holding a microplate, the slower of the following will be applied: the speed in the Labware Editor or the speed in the Tools > Options dialog box. For more information, see the VWorks Automation Control Setup Guide and VWorks Automation Control User Guide.
