Teach pendant is a hand-held device for manual manipulation, programming, parameter configuration and monitoring of robot. It is the core component of robot control system. A teach pendant is a device used to register and store mechanical motion or process memory. The device is executed by an electronic system or computer system.
The industrial robot is controlled by the controller and connected with the fanuc teach pendant through a 5m to 8m long cable, which requires that the system, algorithm and software between the cnc fanuc teach pendant and the robot must be compatible with each other, so as to form a closed-loop adaptation.
In fact, every enterprise has its own logic programming. Different brands of products, systems and software will be different. For example, common system programming languages include C++, windows, etc. The industrial robots of different brands do not communicate with each other. This leads to different brands of fanuc tested teach pendants can not be in common use.
Every enterprise will have the experience of product iteration, system iteration and software iteration. After the system and software are upgraded, the communication between different versions of products may be incompatible with each other, and the fanuc robot teach pendants of different systems cannot be in common use. In addition, the products produced by the same enterprise may also use multiple operating systems and software. In this case, the original fanuc teach pendants are generally incompatible with each other.
The teaching methods of industrial robots include direct teaching method, remote control teaching method, indirect teaching method and so on. The industrial teach pendant is only a common use method. It can also realize the control of industrial robots through other ways, such as inputting parameters directly through computers.
This method is most common in welding lines. In the scene where there are many industrial robots such as automobile manufacturing, the efficiency of debugging robots one by one with professional teach pendants will be very low. At this time, people usually import the pre written programs into the robot one by one, so as to quickly realize the parameter setting. Of course, in order to prevent accidents, the effective teach pendants will also be carried with operators.
As long as the robots are compatible with each other, one teach pendant can be used to realize the sharing of multiple industrial robots.
However, from the perspective of management, if the production line fails, only one superior teach pendant will bring great trouble to the troubleshooting. Because when there is only one teach pendant, the parameters of each robot must be queried through the computer, which is very disadvantageous to work. If each robot has an independent teaching pendant, when troubleshooting, just check the parameters in the corresponding teaching pendant, which can improve the work efficiency.
