FANUC olpcpro User Manual

OlpcPRO
Basic Description
FANUC Robotics’ OlpcPRO is a state-of-the-art offline robot program development software designed for FANUC SYSTEM R-J3iB™ and R-30iA™ robots. It supports offline development and maintenance of both KAREL® and Teach Pendant Programming (TPP) used by the FANUC SYSTEM R-J3iB and R-30iA Controllers.
OlpcPRO is a PC program that runs on standard personal computers that support the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system.
Features and Benefits
Easy Robot Configuration
n Easy selection of robot
model, Tool software (such as HandlingTool™, ArcTool®, SpotTool™ etc.) and available options to create a programming environment just like the user’s production robot.
Multiple Application Tool Support
n Supports program develop-
ment for the family of FANUC Robotics’ standard application tools:
- SpotTool+
- ArcTool
- PaintTool™
- HandlingTool
- PalletTool®
- DispenseTool
®
Full Teach Pendant Programming (TPP) Tool
n OlpcPRO includes the actual
TPP editor of the robot controller for development robot TPP programs. Those who are already familiar with FANUC robots will find an identical robot programming environment with OlpcPRO.
n A built-in ASCII editor is also
available to edit, load and save TP programs in ASCII file format.
n A special configuration utility
is available to arrange all robot programs in separate project specific folders, each representing a different robot and containing the files associated with that robot.
n Key mapping feature is
available to map Teach Pendant keys to the PC allowing the programmer to edit register and I/O comments directly from the PC.
Complete KAREL® Programming Support
n OlpcPRO integrates
KAREL Editor, Compiler, Variable Editor and Dictionary processor through a cell browser to make it simpler to access edit and translate KAREL programs.
n A “build” feature is available
to translate and load all the robot programs to the virtual controller with a single command.
n All translation errors are
displayed in a separate output window, allowing the programmer to correct the source code to fix all errors during the same edit session.
n Built-in variable editor
provides the ability to view and edit binary files with .VR and .SV extension.
iPendant™ Screen Development
n Built-in virtual iPendant
allows the development and testing of iPendant screens including the web browser.
n With an available special
interface cable, users can control the virtual robot using a real iPendant.
File Transfer to Robot
n OlpcPRO provides an
easy-to-use interface to transfer selected robot files back and forth between the robot and PC via Ethernet. This eliminates the need to carry memory cards or other media to the factory floor.
n Import/export control list
feature allows transfer of a pre-defined group of files between the virtual controller and the target real controller via Ethernet. If there is no network connection available, the files are exported to a “Loadset” for manual loading to a real robot.
Robot Program Testing
n OlpcPRO’s built-in virtual
controller technology makes robot program logic debugging simpler and more effective since many programs can be tested on the PC before downloading to the robot.
Important Notes:
OlpcPRO is only available for R-J3iB robots with software greater than V6.40 and all R-30iA robots.
Offline graphical simulation and optimization of robots and robot work cells requires ROBOGUIDE® software. OlpcPRO is for robot program maintenance and development only.
ROBOGUIDE is essential for applications that require robot simulation, work cell visualization, or optimization.

PC Requirements
Minimum requirements to install and run OlpcPRO:
n AMD Athlon 64 or
Pentium® 4 processor
n 512 MB RAM
n 250 MB free disk space
n Microsoft Windows XP
n UVGA (1024x768)
256-color display
n Virtual controller also
allows testing of robot communication with other PC software such as FANUC Robotics’ vision software, third-party HMI software or other Visual Basic application software developed with the FANUC Robotics’ PC Developer’s Kit software.
