Initializing the profile

About the initialization process

You initialize the profile to:

•	Establish communication with the robot.

•	Load the information in the selected teachpoint file.

•	Synchronize the teachpoints information in the firmware with that in the teachpoints file.

Procedure

 

WARNING  The robot might move its arm during the initialization process. Keep out of the system during the initialization process.

To initialize the profile:

Click Initialize this profile. In the Robot Status area, a graphical representation of the robot and teachpoints (if any) appear. In addition, the robot coordinates are updated.

IMPORTANT The system table displayed in the Robot Status area should be representative of the actual system table. If no image appears, or if the dimensions in the image appears to be incorrect (for example, a rectangular table appears in the software but the actual system table is square), see Specifying the table dimensions and robot position.

 

If you are setting up the Direct Drive Robot for the first time or if you are creating a new device file, return to Adding and deleting Direct Drive Robots in the device file and continue from step 3. Otherwise, you can proceed to set teachpoints. See Planning Direct Drive Robot teachpoints.
