Description
1 Description
1.1 Structure
A new world of possibilities opens up with ABBs IRB 6600 robot family. It comes in
five versions, 175kg /2.55m, 225kg /2.55 m, 175kg /2.8m, 125kg/3.2m, and
200kg/2.75m handling capacities.
The IRB 6600 is ideal for process applications, regardless of industry. Typical areas can
be spotwelding, material handling and machine tending.
We have added a range of software products - all falling under the umbrella designation
of Active Safety - to protect not only personnel in the unlikely event of an accident, but
also robot tools, peripheral equipment and the robot itself.
The robot is equipped with the operating system BaseWare OS. BaseWare OS controls
every aspect of the robot, like motion control, development and execution of
application programs, communication etc. See Product Specification S4Cplus.
For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software for
application support - for example spot welding, communication features - network
communication - and advanced functions such as multi-tasking, sensor control, etc.
For a complete description on optional software, see the Product Specification
RobotWare Options.

Safety Requirements
The robot complies fully with the health and safety standards specified in the EECs
Machinery Directives.
The Service Information System (SIS)
The service information system gathers information about the robots usage and by that
determines how hard the robot has been used. The usage is characterised by the speed,
the rotation angles and the load of every axis.
With this data collection, the service interval of every individual robot of this generation
can be predicted, optimising and planning ahead service activities. The collection data is
available via the teach pendant or the network link to the robot.
The Process Robot Generation is designed with absolute safety in mind. It is dedicated
to actively or passively avoid collisions and offers the highest level of safety to the
operators and the machines as well as the surrounding and attached equipment. These
features are presented in the active and passive safety system.
The Active Safety System
The active safety system includes those software features that maintain the accuracy of
the robots path and those that actively avoid collisions which can occur if the robot
leaves the programmed path accidentally or if an obstacle is put into the robots path.
The Active Brake System (ABS)
All robots run with an active brake system that supports the robots to maintain the
programmed path even in an emergency situation.
6
Description
The ABS is active during all stop modes, braking the robot to a stop with the power of
the servo drive system along the programmed path. After a specific time the mechanical
brakes are activated ensuring a safe stop even in case of a failure of the drive system or
a power interruption.
The maximal applicable torque on the most loaded axis determines the stopping
distance.
The stopping process is in accordance with a class 1 stop.
While programming the robot in manual mode a class 0 stop, with mechanical brakes
only, applies.
The Self Tuning Performance (STP)
The Process Robot Generation is designed to run at different load configurations, many
of which occur within the same program and cycle.
The robots installed electrical power can thus be exploited to lift heavy loads, create a
high axis force or accelerate quickly without changing the configuration of the robot.
Consequently the robot can run in a power mode or a speed mode which can be
measured in the respective cycle time of one and the same program but with different
tool loads. This feature is based on QuickMoveTM.
The respective change in cycle time can be measured by running the robot in NoMotionExecution with different loads or with simulation tools like RobotStudio.
The Electronically Stabilised Path (ESP)
The load and inertia of the tool have a significant effect on the path performance of a
robot. The Process Robot Generation is equipped with a system to electronically
stabilise the robots path in order to achieve the best path performance.
This has an influence while accelerating and braking and consequently stabilises the
path during all motion operations with a compromise of the best cycle time. This feature
is secured through TrueMoveTM.
Over-speed protection
The speed of the robot is monitored by two independent computers.
Restricting the working space
The movement of each axis can be restricted using software limits.
As options there are safeguarded space stops for connection of position switches to
restrict the working space for the axes 1-3.
Axes 1-3 can also be restricted by means of mechanical stops.
Collision detection (option)
In case an unexpected mechanical disturbance occurs, like a collision, electrode sticking, etc., the robot will detect the collision, stop on the path and slightly back off from
its stop position, releasing tension in the tool.
The Passive Safety System
The Process Robot Generation has a dedicated passive safety system that by hardware
construction and dedicated solutions is designed to avoid collisions with surrounding
equipment. It integrates the robot system into the surrounding equipment safely.
Compact robot arm design
The shape of the lower and upper arm system is compact, avoiding interference into the
working envelope of the robot.
Description
The lower arm is shaped inward, giving more space under the upper arm to re-orientate
large parts and leaving more working space while reaching over equipment in front of
the robot.
The rear side of the upper arm is compact, with no components projecting over the edge
of the robot base even when the robot is moved into the home position.
Moveable mechanical limitation of main axes (option)
All main axes can be equipped with moveable mechanical stops, limiting the working
range of every axis individually. The mechanical stops are designed to withstand a
collision even under full load.
Position switches on main axes (option)
All main axes can be equipped with position switches. The double circuitry to the cam
switches is designed to offer personal safety according to the respective standards.
The Internal Safety Concept
The internal safety concept of the Process Robot Generation is based on a two-channel
circuit that is monitored continuously. If any component fails, the electrical power
supplied to the motors shuts off and the brakes engage.
Safety category 3
Malfunction of a single component, such as a sticking relay, will be detected at the next
MOTOR OFF/MOTOR ON operation. MOTOR ON is then prevented and the faulty
section is indicated. This complies with category 3 of EN 954-1, Safety of machinery safety related parts of control systems - Part 1.
Selecting the operating mode
The robot can be operated either manually or automatically. In manual mode, the robot
can only be operated via the teach pendant, i.e. not by any external equipment.
Reduced speed
In manual mode, the speed is limited to a maximum of 250 mm/s (600 inch/min.).
The speed limitation applies not only to the TCP (Tool Centre Point), but to all parts of
the robot. It is also possible to monitor the speed of equipment mounted on the robot.
Three position enabling device
The enabling device on the teach pendant must be used to move the robot when in
manual mode. The enabling device consists of a switch with three positions, meaning
that all robot movements stop when either the enabling device is pushed fully in, or when
it is released completely. This makes the robot safer to operate.
Safe manual movement
The robot is moved using a joystick instead of the operator having to look at the teach
pendant to find the right key.
Emergency stop
There is one emergency stop push button on the controller and another on the teach
pendant. Additional emergency stop buttons can be connected to the robots safety chain
circuit.
Safeguarded space stop
The robot has a number of electrical inputs which can be used to connect external safety
equipment, such as safety gates and light curtains. This allows the robots safety
functions to be activated both by peripheral equipment and by the robot itself.
8
Description
Delayed safeguarded space stop
A delayed stop gives a smooth stop. The robot stops in the same way as at a normal
program stop with no deviation from the programmed path. After approx. 1 second the
power supplied to the motors is shut off.
Hold-to-run control
Hold-to-run means that you must depress the start button in order to move the robot. When
the button is released the robot will stop. The hold-to-run function makes program testing
safer.
Fire safety
Both the manipulator and control system comply with ULs (Underwriters Laboratory)
tough requirements for fire safety.
Safety lamp (option)
As an option, the robot can be equipped with a safety lamp mounted on the manipulator. This is activated when the motors are in the MOTORS ON state.
Description
1.3 Installation
All versions of IRB 6600 are designed for floor mounting. Depending on the robot
version, an end effector with max. weight of 175 to 225 kg including payload, can be
mounted on the mounting flange (axis 6). See Load diagram for IRB 6600 generation
robots on page 14, page 16, page 18, page 20 and page 22.
Extra loads (valve packages, transformers) can be mounted on the upper arm with a
maximum weight of 50 kg. On all versions an extra load of 500 kg can also be mounted
on the frame of axis 1. Holes for mounting extra equipment on page 26.
The working range of axes 1-3 can be limited by mechanical stops. Position switches
can be supplied on axes 1-3 for position indication of the manipulator.
External Mains Transformer
The robot system requires a 400 - 475 VAC power supply. Therefore an external
transformer will be included when a mains voltage other than 400-475V is selected.

1.5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The robot requires only a minimum of maintenance during operation. It has been
designed to make it as easy to service as possible:
- Maintenance-free AC motors are used.
- Oil is used for the gear boxes.
- The cabling is routed for longevity, and in the unlikely event of a failure, its
modular design makes it easy to change.
The following maintenance is required:
- Changing filter for the transformer/drive unit cooling every year.
- Changing batteries every third year.
The maintenance intervals depend on the use of the robot. For detailed information on
maintenance procedures, see Maintenance section in the Product Manual.

Description
1.9.2 DressPack options
Dress Pack options includes options for Upper arm harness, Lower arm harness and
Floor harness. These are described separated below but are designed and meant to be
seen as a complete package for either Material handling or Spot welding application.
The Upper Arm Harness consists of a process cable package and supports, clamps,
brackets and a retractor arm. The process cable package contains special designed
cables and hoses that have been long term tested. The cables and hoses are partly
placed in a protective hose to extend the lifetime.
The Upper Arm Harness is designed to follow the robot arm movements and minimise
damages to the harness or the robot manipulator. The interface to the lower arm harness
is located well protected below the motor for axis 3.
The complete harness is tested and proven to be well suited for both spot welding
applications and other applications with the same type of movements and very high
requirements. The cable and hose package has a 1000-mm free length at axis 6 for
connection to a spot welding gun or a gripper. A tension arm unit keeps hose package
in the right position for the robot arm movement approved for the SpotPack. An arm
protection will prevent wear on the protective hose and on the robot itself. Please note
that when the robot is operating, some multiply axis movement might end up with an
overstraining of the hose package. These movements must be avoided.
For more information see the Installation and Maintenance Manual.

Figure 30 Mechanical equipment upper arm harness.
Note. The upper arm harness specification is based on the sselection of lower arm
harness.
The Lower Arm Harness consists of a process cable package and supports, clamps
and brackets. The process cable package, containing special designed cables and hoses,
has been long term tested.
The process cable package is routed along the lower arm to minimise space required
and to give no limitation in the robot working envelope. The cables and hoses are partly
placed in a protective hose to extend the lifetime.
43
Description
The lower arm harness is connected to the upper arm harness at the connection point
under the axis 3 motor. The interface plate at the manipulator base is the place where
the floor harness and the process media are connected.
The Floor Harness consists of signal cables for customer signals. The floor harness is
connected to the lower arm harness at the interface plate at the manipulator base and to
the left side of the robot control cabinet. The signal connection inside the robot control
cabinet depends on chosen options. As example will servo gun option, bus option and
parallel option mean different connections.
Process cable package
For material handling and spot welding the DressPack can be chosen in different
configurations. The part of the DressPack changing between different options are
basically the process cable package and the brackets etc are the same. Initially general
configurations for the process cable package is specified. With this as a base, the details
of the application signals and media are added.
Option 056 Connection to manipulator
No floor cables for the DressPack are chosen. The connector at the base for interfacing
is specified in installation and maintenance manual. Terminal connections could be
found in the circuit diagrams.
Option 057 Connection to cabinet
Floor cables for the DressPack are chosen. Number of cables and cable type depends
on chosen options. The length of the process cable package at the floor is specified
under the options below:
- Option 675-678 for parallel communication
- Option 660-663 for bus communication with Can/DeviceNet
- Option 665-668 for bus communication with Profibus
- Option 670-673 for bus communication with Interbus
The connection inside the cabinet depends on communication type.
- If parallel communication is chosen, signals are found at terminals inside the
cabinet (XT5.1, XT5.2 and XT6)
- If bus communication is chosen, signals are routed both to valid bus card. The
remaining are found at terminals inside the cabinet (XT5.1, XT5.2 and XT6).

Description
1.9.3 Power Unit
The standard Power unit for SpotPack contains the electric components and circuits
needed for spot welding. The power unit cabinet is designed to be placed on top of the
robot control cabinet, see picture below, and secured with four attachment plates. The
power unit should be seen as a main part of the complete SpotPack (type S and HS) and
normally not handled as a separate unit.
The electrical circuits of the power unit consist of weld power circuit and control
circuits to control the welding.
Weld power circuit
The welding power for the welding gun is fed through a circuit breaker and welding
thyristor (for AC welding) or inverter (for MFDC welding) and further out to the welding power cable. The welding power cable is connected directly to the thyristor/
inverter.
Control Circuits
Power 240 V AC and 24 V DC for the control circuits is fed from the robot cabinet.
Also the safety circuits in the robot cabinet is used to interlock the welding timer.
A welding timer (Bosch), integrated with the air cooled thyristor or inverter, controls
the welding current. The welding timer includes control program which gives
possibility to program different weld sequence. The programming is normally done on
a PC that is connected directly to the welding timer. The interface between the robot
system and the welding timer is handled via a digital signal interface. Example of
signals are weld start, weld ready, weld program choice and error.
Also cross connections, of interface signals and interlocking between the robot system
(I/O-boards), the water and air unit, signals to DressPack and pedestal / stationary gun
(type HS), are done within the power unit.
For further information see Installation and Maintenance manual and separate manuals
for the Bosch equipment.
Programming device for the welding timer is not included.
Option 2087 Power unit, AC welding type S

Option 2090 MFDC welding S and HS
This option replaces the thyristor unit in option 2087 or 2088, with a MFDC inverter
type Bosch PSI 6100.100L. This option requires forced air cooling (option 2091).
Option 2091 Forced air cooling
This option adds a cooling fan with housing placed on the rear of the power unit. This
forces air on the cooling surface for the thyristor or MFDC converter. For the MFDC
converter this is mandatory. For the AC thyristor the need of the forced air cooling
depends on the load and the ambient temperature.
For further information see separate manuals for the Bosch equipment.
Option 2092 Earth fault protection
This option adds an earth fault protection to the circuit breaker. This protection could
be used for AC welding or MFDC welding. The sensitivity of the earth fault protection

1.9.4 Water and Air Unit
The water and air unit is the connection point for cooling water and compressed air to
the spot welding gun. All standard features and options are the same for types S and
HS. Water and air unit is not included for type H.
The standard water and air unit is mounted at the base of the robot.
The standard water and air unit consists of four main assemblies:
- Water in circuit
- Water return circuit
- Air supply circuit
- Split box
Cables and hoses required for Water and Air unit are defined and described under each
option for water and air unit.
Water in circuit
The function of the water in circuit is to open / close the cooling water supply to the
Spot welding gun. An electrically controlled valve with indication led is used. The
valve is controlled by a digital signal from the robot control system.
The circuit start from left with an Parker Puchlock 33482-8-8BK fitting for hose
(hose assembled by customer), manual shut off valve for the cooling water flow,
electrical shut off valve and ends with a Parker Pushlock adapter. (Suitable for a Parker
Puchlock DIN 20 078 A, we recommend a Parker Pushlock 39C82-15-8BK fitting).
From this point the water is led to the gun/robot.
54
Description
Water return circuit
The water return circuit monitors the flow of the returning cooling water from the Spot
welding gun. The flow switch detects if the water flow is too low in the cooling water
circuit.
The flow switch gives a digital signal to the robot control system, which automatically
shuts the electrical shut off valve in the water in circuit off if the flow is too low. The
system and the supply of cooling water are then automatically stopped to minimise any
risk of damage to the system.
The water return circuit is delivered with a pre-set flow limit, set to approx. 3,5 litres
per minute.
The water return circuit started from right with a Parker Pushlock adapter (Suitable for
a Parker Puchlock DIN 20 078 A, we recommend a Parker Pushlock 39C82-15-8BK
fitting), flowswitch with a switching point between 2-12 litres per minute.
Its also equipped with a flow control valve; the flow control can adjust the water flow
to a wanted flow level. The flow-value can be monitored through a small window on
the flow control valve. This will serve as a rough function check in the approximate
flow range of 2-8 litres per minute. The circuit ends with a check-valve that will stop
any reversing water flow, manual shut off valve and an Parker Puchlock 33482-8-8BK
fitting for hose (hose assembled by customer). From this point the water is led to
the factory water system.
Air supply circuit
The air supply circuit provides the robot and option: proportional valve with air supply.
The air supply circuit started with a Parker Puchlock 39C82-15-8BK fitting (hose
assembled by customer). Manually operated shut off valve to vent the system through
a silencer, air filter 25 microns and a water separator equipped with a metal bowl
protection, distribution block containing plugged air outlet ports.
The air supply circuit ends with a Parker Pushlock adapter. (Suitable for a Parker
Puchlock DIN 20 078 A, we recommend a Parker Pushlock 39C82-15-8BK fitting).
Maximum flow capacity is 3000 litres per minute at 6.3 bar and P = 1.0 bar. Maximum
allowed pressure is 16 bar.
Split box
With the split box, the 24VDC supply and signals are connected and distributed to the
different units on the water and air unit, see picture below. The design makes disconnection of separate items for service and repair on the water and air unit very easy. The
split box has a protection class IP68. Brand: Woodhead, Brad Harrison.
The split box has six connections prepared for the following units.
- Electric water shut off valve
- Flow switch 1
- Flow switch 2 (Option 2177 Second Water Return)
- Pressure switch (Option 2179 Pressure switch and Regulator
for air)
- Proportional valve (Option 2181 Electrical proportional valve for air)
- Spare

Option 2174 Water and Air unit, type S

The basic water and air unit for type S is equipped for a robot handled gun and with the
following components:
- Water in circuit
- Split box
- 1/2 " hose between air supply circuit and manipulator base (PROC 1)
- 1/2 " hose between water in circuit and manipulator base (PROC 2)
- 1/2 " hose between water return circuit and manipulator base (PROC 3)
Option 2175 Water and Air unit, type HS
The basic water and air unit for type HS is equipped for a pedestal/stationary gun and
with the following components:
- Water in circuit
- Split box
- 1/2" hose between air supply circuit and manipulator base (PROC 1)
56
Description
Hoses between water in circuit and water return circuit are not supplied. These have to
be arranged by the customer.
Option 2177 Second water return
When the water pressure drop is to high because of too long hoses or because of any
other reason, an additional water return circuit can be the best solution to solve this
problem. For this extra water return circuit this option is required. It contains an extra
flow switch to monitor the water coming from the second circuit. Two cooling water
circuits also have the advantage of a more even cooling of the two sides of the
Spotwelding gun compared to a single circuit system. For more information see under
Flow switch in water return circuit.
Please note that this option can not be combined with option 2181, Electrical
proportional valve for air normally used together with a pneumatic robot mounted
welding gun. The additional used water hose in this option is normally used for
compressed air for pneumatic moved welding guns. Additional 1/2" water hose (PROC
4) to manipulator base is included.
Option 2192 Digital flow meter, One water return
If a digital flow meter is requested instead of a flow switch, this option should be
chosen. This option is valid for one water return (if two water return see option 2193).
This option means that the flow switch and the flow control valve with visible flow
indication is replaced by the digital flow meter and a flow control valve without visible
flow indication (not required as adjustments could be seen on the digital flow meter).
The digital flow meter gives the following advantages compared to flow switch:
- The biggest advantage is that the flow switch is mechanical function safe, that
means if something damage the flow switch you will notice that immediacy
- The actual flow could be seen direct on the display
- The flow switch level and the tolerance could be set with high tolerance
- The flow value could been monitored at distance with a remote display.
Option 2193 Digital flow meter, Two water returns
If the option second water return (option 2177) is chosen and the digital flow meter is
requested this option should be chosen. For more information see option 2192.
Option 2179 Pressure switch and regulator for air
Option 2179, Filter regulator and pressure switch includes a manually operated
pressure regulator to set the incoming pressure to the Spot welding gun. The pressure
can be monitored on the included pressure gauge. This option also includes a Pressure
Switch to monitor the air pressure and to give a signal to the control system if the
pressure becomes to low.
The 2179 include same components as Air Supply Circuit except that the filter changes
to a filter regulator plus we add pressure gauge 0-16 bar and pressure Switch with
belonging cable to splitbox.
57
Description
Option 2181 Electrical proportional valve for air
The option includes a proportional valve with integrated control circuit and connection
cable to the splitbox. The proportional valve controls the pinching force of the
pneumatic spot welding gun and is designed to obtain optimal performance during long
operation time. The proportional valve is controlled by the weldtimer in the Power unit.
The included distribution block can be used for two additional non-regulated
compressed air circuits.
An analogue signal 0-10V, controls the proportional valve and the air pressure is in the
range of 0-12 bar.
Option 2183 Cable to split box, 7m
This option includes floor cable of 7 m length for signals to the split box sitting on the
water and air unit. This cable is connect to the Power unit (option 2087/2088) with a
modular harting (Han Compact with insert type HD). The cable ends also with a quick
connector at the split box end.
This option includes floor cable of 15 m length for the split box. See description for
option 2183.
This option includes floor cable of 30 m length for the split box. See description for
option 2183.

089 Insulated tool flange
The electrically insulated tool flange, according to European Standard EN 60204-1, withstands
dangerous voltage (in case of an electrical fault in the spot welding equipment mounted on the
Insulated tool flange) of 500V DC during 30 seconds in non water applications without passing
it further to the electronics in the manipulator and the controller.
Not available together with Protection Foundry, option 036.
Connection holes and all dimensions are the same as for the standard tool flange except for the
distance from c/c 5th axis to the end surface of the Insulated tool flange. The distance is 0,7 mm
longer compared to the standard tool flange, see Figure 46. The countersinked holes for the
fastening bolts to the gear box are larger, and the bolts are insulated from the tool flange, see
Figure 46.

Safety of machinery, terminology
EN 292-2
Safety of machinery, technical specifications
EN 954-1
Safety of machinery, safety related parts of control
systems
EN 60204

EMC, Generic immunity
ANSI/UL 1740-1996 (option) Standard for Industrial Robots and Robotic
Equipment
CAN/CSA Z 434-94 (option) Industrial Robots and Robot Systems - General
Safety Requirements
The robot complies fully with the health and safety standards specified in the EECs
Machinery Directives.
The robot controller is designed with absolute safety in mind. It has a dedicated safety
system based on a two-channel circuit which is monitored continuously. If any
component fails, the electrical power supplied to the motors shuts off and the brakes engage.
Safety category 3
Malfunction of a single component, such as a sticking relay, will be detected at the next
MOTOR OFF/MOTOR ON operation. MOTOR ON is then prevented and the faulty
section is indicated. This complies with category 3 of EN 954-1, Safety of machinery
- safety related parts of control systems - Part 1.
Selecting the operating mode
The robot can be operated either manually or automatically. In manual mode, the robot
can only be operated via the teach pendant, i.e. not by any external equipment.
Reduced speed
In manual mode, the speed is limited to a maximum of 250 mm/s (600 inch/min.).
The speed limitation applies not only to the TCP (Tool Centre point), but to all parts of
the robot. It is also possible to monitor the speed of equipment mounted on the robot.
Three position enabling device
The enabling device on the teach pendant must be used to move the robot when in
manual mode. The enabling device consists of a switch with three positions, meaning
that all robot movements stop when either the enabling device is pushed fully in, or
when it is released completely. This makes the robot safer to operate.
Description
Safe manual movement
The robot is moved using a joystick instead of the operator having to look at the teach
pendant to find the right key.
Over-speed protection
The speed of the robot is monitored by two independent computers.
Emergency stop
There is one emergency stop push button on the controller and another on the teach
pendant. Additional emergency stop buttons can be connected to the robots safety chain
circuit.
Safeguarded space stop
The controller has a number of electrical inputs which can be used to connect external
safety equipment, such as safety gates and light curtains. This allows the robots safety
functions to be activated both by peripheral equipment and by the robot itself.
Delayed safeguarded space stop
A delayed stop gives a smooth stop. The robot stops in the same way as at a normal
program stop with no deviation from the programmed path. After approx. 1 second the
power supplied to the motors shuts off.
Collision detection
In case an unexpected mechanical disturbance like a collision, electrode sticking, etc.
occurs, the robot will stop and slightly back off from its stop position.
The movement of each axis can be restricted using software limits.
There are safeguarded space stops for connection of limit switches to restrict the working
space.
For some robots the axes 1-3 can also be restricted by means of mechanical stops.
Hold-to-run control
Hold-to-run means that you must depress the start button in order to move the robot. When
the button is released the robot will stop. The hold-to-run function makes program testing
safer.
Fire safety
Both the manipulator and control system comply with ULs (Underwriters Laboratory)
tough requirements for fire safety.
Safety lamp
As an option, the robot can be equipped with a safety lamp mounted on the manipulator.
This is activated when the controller is in the MOTORS ON state.
Description
1.3 Operation
All operations and programming can be carried out using the portable teach pendant
(see Figure 3) and operators panel (see Figure 5).

Description
1.4 Memory
Available memory
The controller has two different memories:
- a fixed DRAM memory of size 32 MB, used as working memory
- a flash disk memory, standard 64 MB, used as mass memory. Optional 128 MB.
The DRAM memory is used for running the system software and the user programs and
it is thus divided into three areas:
- system software
- system software execution data
- user RAPID programs, about 5.5 MB, see Figure 6 (when installing different
options, the user program memory will decrease, at most by about 0.7 MB).
The flash disk is divided into four main areas:
- a base area of 5 MB, with permanent code for booting
- a release area of 20 MB, where all the code for a specific release is stored
- a system specific data area of 10 MB, where all the run time specific data
including the user program for a system is stored at backup
- a user mass memory area which can be used for storing RAPID programs, data,
logs etc.
The flash disk is used for backup, i.e. when a power failure occurs or at power off, all
the system specific data including the user program, see Figure 6, will be stored on the
flash disk and restored at power on. A backup power system (UPS) ensures the
automatic storage function.

Description
Several different systems, i.e. process applications, may be installed at the same time
in the controller, of which one can be active. Each such application will occupy another
10 MB of the flash memory for system data. The release storage area will be in common
as long as the process applications are based on the same release. If two different
releases should be loaded, the release storage area must also be doubled.
For RAPID memory consumption, see RAPID Developers Manual. As an example, a
MoveL or MoveJ instruction consumes 236 bytes when the robtarget is stored in the
instruction (marked with *) and 168 bytes if a named robtarget is used. In the latter
case, the CONST declaration of the named robtarget consumes an additional 280 bytes.
Additional software options will reduce the available user program memory, most of
them however only marginally, i.e. the user program area will still be about 5.5 MB.
Only the SpotWare option will reduce memory significantly, i.e. down to about 4.8 MB
depending on the number of simultaneous welding guns.
1.5 Installation
The controller is delivered with a standard configuration for the corresponding

1.6 Programming
Programming the robot involves choosing instructions and arguments from lists of
appropriate alternatives. Users do not need to remember the format of instructions,
since they are prompted in plain English. See and pick is used instead of remember
and type.
1. Enlarged transformer for external axes

13
Description
The programming environment can be easily customized using the teach pendant.
- Shop floor language can be used to name programs, signals, counters, etc.
- New instructions can be easily written.
- The most common instructions can be collected in easy-to-use pick lists.
- Positions, registers, tool data, or other data, can be created.
Programs, parts of programs and any modifications can be tested immediately without
having to translate (compile) the program.
Movements
A sequence of movements is programmed as a number of partial movements between
the positions to which you want the robot to move.
The end position of a movement is selected either by manually jogging the robot to the
desired position with the joystick, or by referring to a previously defined position.
The exact position can be defined (see Figure 7) as:
- a stop point, i.e. the robot reaches the programmed position
or
- a fly-by point, i.e. the robot passes close to the programmed position. The size
of the deviation is defined independently for the TCP, the tool orientation and
the external axes.
Stop point
Fly-by point
User-definable distance (in mm)
Figure 7 The fly-by point reduces the cycle time since the robot does not have to stop at
the programmed point. The path is speed independent.
The velocity may be specified in the following units:

- mm/s
- seconds (time it takes to reach the next programmed position)
- degrees/s (for reorientation of the tool or for rotation of an external axis)
Program management
For convenience, the programs can be named and stored in different directories.
The mass memory can also be used for program storage. These can then be
automatically downloaded using a program instruction. The complete program or parts
of programs can be transferred to/from the network or a diskette.
The program is stored as a normal PC text file, which means that it can be edited using
14
Description
a standard PC.
Editing programs
Programs can be edited using standard editing commands, i.e. cut-and-paste, copy,
delete, find and change, undo etc. Individual arguments in an instruction can also be
edited using these commands.
No reprogramming is necessary when processing left-hand and right-hand parts, since
the program can be mirrored in any plane.
A robot position can easily be changed either by
- jogging the robot with the joystick to a new position and then pressing the
ModPos key (this registers the new position)
or by
- entering or modifying numeric values.
To prevent unauthorised personnel from making program changes, passwords can be
used.
Testing programs
Several helpful functions can be used when testing programs. For example, it is
possible to
- start from any instruction
- execute an incomplete program
- run a single cycle
- execute forward/backward step-by-step
- simulate wait conditions
- temporarily reduce the speed
- change a position
- tune (displace) a position during program execution.
For more information, see the Users Guide and RAPID Reference Manual.
1.7 Automatic Operation

A dedicated production window with commands and information required by the
operator is automatically displayed during automatic operation.
The operation procedure can be customised to suit the robot installation by means of
user-defined operating dialogs.
15
Description
Select program to run:
Front A Front B Front C
Other
Service
Figure 8 The operator dialogs can be easily customised.
A special input can be set to order the robot to go to a service position. After service,
the robot is ordered to return to the programmed path and continue program execution.
You can also create special routines that will be automatically executed when the power
is switched on, at program start and on other occasions. This allows you to customise
each installation and to make sure that the robot is started up in a controlled way.
The robot is equipped with absolute measurement, making it possible to operate the
robot directly when the power is switched on. For your convenience, the robot saves
the used path, program data and configuration parameters so that the program can be
easily restarted from where you left off. Digital outputs are also set automatically to the
value prior to the power failure.
1.8 The RAPID Language and Environment

The RAPID language is a well balanced combination of simplicity, flexibility and
powerfulness. It contains the following concepts:
- Hierarchical and modular program structure to support structured programming
and reuse.
- Routines can be Functions or Procedures.
- Local or global data and routines.
- Data typing, including structured and array data types.
- User defined names (shop floor language) on variables, routines and I/O.
- Extensive program flow control.
- Arithmetic and logical expressions.
- Interrupt handling.
- Error handling (for exception handling in general, see Exception handling).
- User defined instructions (appear as an inherent part of the system).
- Backward handler (user definition of how a procedure should behave when
stepping backwards).
- Many powerful built-in functions, e.g mathematics and robot specific.
- Unlimited language (no max. number of variables etc., only memory limited).
Windows based man machine interface with built-in RAPID support (e.g. user defined
pick lists).
16
Description
1.9 Exception handling
Many advanced features are available to make fast error recovery possible.
Characteristic is that the error recovery features are easy to adapt to a specific
installation in order to minimise down time. Examples:
- Error Handlers (automatic recovery often possible without stopping
production).
- Restart on Path.
- Power failure restart.
- Service routines.
- Error messages: plain text with remedy suggestions, user defined messages.
- Diagnostic tests.
- Event logging.
1.10 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The controller requires only a minimum of maintenance during operation. It has been
designed to make it as easy to service as possible:
- The controller is enclosed, which means that the electronic circuitry is
protected when operating in a normal workshop environment.
- There is a supervision of temperature, fans and battery health.
The robot has several functions to provide efficient diagnostics and error reports:
- It performs a self-test when power on is set.
- Computer status LEDs and console (serial channel) for fault tracing support.
- Errors are indicated by a message displayed in plain language.
The message includes the reason for the fault and suggests recovery action.
- Faults and major events are logged and time-stamped. This makes it possible to
detect error chains and provides the background for any downtime. The log can
be read on the teach pendant display, stored in a file or printed on a printer.
- There are commands and service programs in RAPID to test units and
functions.
- LEDs on the panel unit indicate status of the safeguarded switches.
Most errors detected by the user program can also be reported to and handled by the
standard error system. Error messages and recovery procedures are displayed in plain
language.
For detailed information on maintenance procedures, see Maintenance section in the
Product Manual.

Description
1.11 Robot Motion

Motion concepts
QuickMoveTM
The QuickMoveTM concept means that a self-optimizing motion control is used. The
robot automatically optimizes the servo parameters to achieve the best possible
performance throughout the cycle - based on load properties, location in working area,
velocity and direction of movement.
- No parameters have to be adjusted to achieve correct path, orientation and
velocity.
- Maximum acceleration is always obtained (acceleration can be reduced, e.g.
when handling fragile parts).
- The number of adjustments that have to be made to achieve the shortest possible
cycle time is minimized.
TrueMoveTM
The TrueMoveTM concept means that the programmed path is followed regardless of
the speed or operating mode even after an emergency stop, a safeguarded stop, a
process stop, a program stop or a power failure.
This very accurate path and speed is based on advanced dynamic modelling.
Coordinate systems
BaseWare includes a very powerful concept of multiple coordinate systems that
facilitates jogging, program adjustment, copying between robots, off-line
programming, sensor based applications, external axes co-ordination etc. Full support
for TCP (Tool Centre Point) attached to the robot or fixed in the cell (Stationary
TCP).

Figure 9 The coordinate systems, used to make jogging and off-line programming easier.
The world coordinate system defines a reference to the floor, which is the starting
point for the other coordinate systems. Using this coordinate system, it is possible to
relate the robot position to a fixed point in the workshop. The world coordinate system
is also very useful when two robots work together or when using a robot carrier.
The base coordinate system is attached to the base mounting surface of the robot.
The tool coordinate system specifies the tools centre point and orientation.
The user coordinate system specifies the position of a fixture or workpiece
manipulator.
The object coordinate system specifies how a workpiece is positioned in a fixture or
workpiece manipulator.
The coordinate systems can be programmed by specifying numeric values or jogging
the robot through a number of positions (the tool does not have to be removed).
Each position is specified in object coordinates with respect to the tools position and
orientation. This means that even if a tool is changed because it is damaged, the old
program can still be used, unchanged, by making a new definition of the tool.
If a fixture or workpiece is moved, only the user or object coordinate system has to be
redefined.
19
Description
Stationary TCP
When the robot is holding a work object and working on a stationary tool, it is possible
to define a TCP for that tool. When that tool is active, the programmed path and speed
are related to the work object.
Program execution
The robot can move in any of the following ways:
- Joint motion (all axes move individually and reach
the programmed position at the same time).
- Linear motion (the TCP moves in a linear path).
- Circle motion (the TCP moves in a circular path).
Soft servo - allowing external forces to cause deviation from programmed position can be used as an alternative to mechanical compliance in grippers, where imperfection
in processed objects can occur.
If the location of a workpiece varies from time to time, the robot can find its position
by means of a digital sensor. The robot program can then be modified in order to adjust
the motion to the location of the part.
Jogging
The robot can be manually operated in any one of the following ways:
- Axis-by-axis, i.e. one axis at a time.
- Linearly, i.e. the TCP moves in a linear path (relative to one of the coordinate
systems mentioned above).
- Reoriented around the TCP.
It is possible to select the step size for incremental jogging. Incremental jogging can be
used to position the robot with high precision, since the robot moves a short distance
each time the joystick is moved.
During manual operation, the current position of the robot and the external axes can be
displayed on the teach pendant.
Singularity handling
The robot can pass through singular points in a controlled way, i.e. points where two
axes coincide.
Motion Supervision
The behaviour of the motion system is continuously monitored as regards position and
speed level to detect abnormal conditions and quickly stop the robot if something is not
OK. A further monitoring function, Collision Detection, is optional (see option Load
Identification and Collision Detection).
20
Description
External axes
Very flexible possibilities to configure external axes. Includes for instance high
performance coordination with robot movement and shared drive unit for several axes.
Big Inertia
One side effect of the dynamic model concept is that the system can handle very big
load inertias by automatically adapting the performance to a suitable level. For big,
flexible objects it is possible to optimise the servo tuning to minimise load oscillation.
Soft Servo
Any axis (also external) can be switched to soft servo mode, which means that it will
adopt a spring-like behaviour.
1.12 External Axes

The robot can control up to six external axes. These axes are programmed and moved
using the teach pendant in the same way as the robots axes.
The external axes can be grouped into mechanical units to facilitate, for example,
the handling of robot carriers, workpiece manipulators, etc.
The robot motion can be simultaneously coordinated with for example, a linear robot
carrier and a work piece positioner.
A mechanical unit can be activated or deactivated to make it safe when, for example,
manually changing a workpiece located on the unit. In order to reduce investment
costs, any axes that do not have to be active at the same time, can share the same drive
unit.
An external axis is an AC motor (IRB motor type or similar) controlled via a drive unit
mounted in the robot cabinet or in a separate enclosure. See Specification of Variants
and Options.

Description
1.13 I/O System

A distributed I/O system is used, based on the fieldbus standard CAN/DeviceNet. This
makes it possible to mount the I/O units either inside the cabinet or outside the cabinet
with a cable connecting the I/O unit to the cabinet.
Two independent CAN/DeviceNet buses allow various conditions of I/O handling.
Both channels can be operating as master or slave. One bus, CAN1, is operating with
fixed data rate, and the other, CAN2 (accessible by the software option I/O Plus), with
different data rates.

A number of different input and output units can be installed:

- Digital inputs and outputs.
- Analog inputs and outputs.
- Gateway (slave) for Allen-Bradley Remote I/O.
- Gateway (slave) for Interbus Slave.
- Gateway (slave) for Profibus DP Slave.
S4Cplus with the option I/O Plus can be configured for fieldbus units from other
suppliers. For more details see the Product Specification RobotWare Options.
The inputs and outputs can be configured to suit your installation:
- Each signal and unit can be given a name, e.g. gripper, feeder.
- I/O mapping (i.e. a physical connection for each signal).
- Polarity (active high or low).
- Cross connections.
- Up to 16 digital signals can be grouped together and used as if they were a
single signal when, for example, entering a bar code.
- Sophisticated error handling.
- Selectable trust level (i.e. what action to take when a unit is lost).
23
Description
- Program controlled enabling/disabling of I/O units.
- Scaling of analog signals.
- Filtering.
- Polarity definition.
- Pulsing.
- TCP-proportional analog signal.
- Programmable delays.
- Simulated I/O (for forming cross connections or logical conditions without need
the for physical hardware).
- Accurate coordination with motion.
Signals can be assigned to special system functions, such as program start, so as to be
able to control the robot from an external panel or PLC.
The robot can function as a PLC by monitoring and controlling I/O signals:
- I/O instructions are executed concurrent to the robot motion.
- Inputs can be connected to trap routines. (When such an input is set, the
trap routine starts executing. Following this, normal program execution
resumes. In most cases, this will not have any visible effect on the robot motion,
i.e. if a limited number of instructions are executed in the trap routine.)
- Background programs (for monitoring signals, for example) can be
run in parallel with the actual robot program. Requires Multitasking option, see
Product Specification RobotWare.
Manual functions are available to:
- List all the signal values.
- Create your own list of your most important signals.
- Manually change the status of an output signal.
- Print signal information on a printer.
I/O signals can for some robots also be routed parallel or serial to connectors on the
upper arm of the robot.
Types of connection
The following types of connection are available:
- Screw terminals on the I/O units
- Industrial connectors on cabinet wall
- Distributed I/O-connections inside or on cabinet wall
For more detailed information, see Chapter 2, Specification of Variants and Options.
ABB I/O units (node types)
Several I/O units can be used. The following table shows the maximum number of

Product Specification RobotWare Options for BaseWare OS 4.0
Product Specification RobotWare Options
Introduction
1 Introduction
RobotWare is a family of software products from ABB Automation Technology
Product AB, Robotics, designed to make you more productive and lower your cost of
owning and operating a robot.
ABB Automation Technology Product AB, Robotics has invested many man-years
into the development of these products and they represent knowledge and experience
based on several thousand robot installations.
Within the RobotWare family there are three classes of products:
BaseWare OS - This is the operating system of the robot and constitutes the kernel of
the RobotWare family. BaseWare OS provides all the necessary features for
fundamental robot programming and operation. It is an inherent part of the robot but
can be provided separately for upgrading purposes.
For the description of BaseWare OS, see Product Specification S4Cplus.
BaseWare Options - These products are options that run on top of BaseWare OS of the
robot. They represent functionality for robot users that need additional functionality,
for example run multitasking, transfer information from file to robot, communicate
with a PC, perform advanced motion tasks etc.
ProcessWare - ProcessWare products are designed for specific process applications
like welding, gluing and painting. They are primarily designed to improve the process
result and to simplify installation and programming of applications. These products
also run on top of BaseWare OS.
Introduction
[544] Absolute Accuracy
2 BaseWare Options
Absolute Accuracy (AbsAcc) is a calibration concept, which ensures a TCP absolute
accuracy of better than 1 mm in the entire working range.
The user is supplied with robot calibration data (error parameter file) and a certificate
that shows the performance (Birth Certificate).
The difference between an ideal robot and a real robot can be typically 8 mm, resulting
from mechanical tolerances and deflection in the robot structure. Absolute Accuracy
option is integrated in the controller algorithms for compensation of this difference,
and does not need external equipment or calculation.
Features
Compensation of mechanical tolerances.
Compensation of deflection due to load (tool, object and equipment on arm).
Applications
Any application where Absolute Accuracy is needed to facilitate:
- Exchangeability of robots
- Off-line programming with minimum touch-up.
- On-line programming with accurate linear movement as well as accurate
reorientation of tool
- Re-use of programs between applications
Controller algorithms
Inherent mechanical tolerances and deflection due to load in the robot structure
decrease the robots absolute accuracy. Practical compensation of such errors is a
complex and highly non-linear problem. The ABB solution is to compensate positions
internally in the controller, resulting in a defined and measurable robot TCP (Tool
Center Point) accuracy. A generic robot control model is used for each robot family and
robot individuals are described by a set of error parameters, generated during
calibration at ABB Automation Technology Products, Robotics. Accuracy of each
robot will be ascertained and verified through the Birth Certificate which statistically
describes the robot accuracy in a large sample of robot positions.

Performance
Once the Absolute Accuracy parameter file is loaded and activated, the robot can be
used.
Absolute Accuracy is active in:
- Motion function based on robtarget (MoveJ, MoveL, MoveC and ModPos)
- Reorientation jogging
- Linear jogging (no online compensation as the user defines the physical
location, but absolute coordinates are determined for the active pose and shown
in jogging window)
- Tool definition (4, 5, 6 point tool definition, room fixed TCP, stationary tool)
- Workobject definition
Absolute Accuracy is inactive in:
- Motion function based on a jointtarget (MoveAbsJ). Independent joint
- Joint based jogging
- External axes
- Track motion
- Any feature not listed in Absolute Accuracy is active in
For joint based motions, switching to the jogging window and selecting a cartesian jog
mode (Linear, Reorient) will show the correct absolute coordinates. Similarly creation
of a robtarget at a point taught by joint based motion will be absolutely accurate.
Requirements
Each Absolute Accuracy robot is shipped with an error parameter file that is unique to
that robot. This file must be loaded into the controller and subsequently activated in
order to use Absolute Accuracy. Absolute Accuracy functionality may also be
deactivated. Both actions require a cabinet restart.
Supported robot types
Please contact your local ABB office in order to get the latest list of supported robot
types.
RAPID instructions included in this option
No specific RAPID instructions are included.
[541] Load Identification and Collision Detection (LidCode)

This option is available for the following robot families: IRB 140, IRB 1400,
IRB 2400, IRB 4400, IRB 6400 (not 640) IRB 7600 and for external manipulators IRBP-L,
IRBP-K, IRBP-R and IRBP-A.
Load identification is not available for the hanging variants of IRB 1400 and IRB 2400
robots.
LidCode contains two very useful features:
Load Identification
To manually calculate or measure the load parameters accurately can be very difficult
and time consuming. Operating a robot with inaccurate load parameters can have a
detrimental influence on cycle time and path accuracy.
With LidCode, the robot can carry out accurate identification of the complete load data
(mass, centre of gravity, and three inertia components). If applicable, tool load and
payload are handled separately.
The identification procedure consists of limited predefined movements of axes 3, 5 and
6 during approximately three minutes. The starting point of the identification motion
pattern can be chosen by the user so that collisions are avoided.
The accuracy achieved is normally better than 5%.
Collision Detection
Abnormal torque levels on any robot axis (not external axes) are detected and will
cause the robot to stop quickly and thereafter back off to relieve forces between the
robot and environment.
Tuning is normally not required, but the sensitivity can be changed from Rapid or
manually (the supervision can even be switched off completely). This may be
necessary when strong process forces are acting on the robot.
The sensitivity (with default tuning) is comparable to the mechanical alternative
(mechanical clutch) and in most cases much better. In addition, LidCode has the
advantages of no added stick-out and weight, no need for connection to the e-stop
circuit, no wear, the automatic backing off after collision and, finally, the adjustable
tuning.
Two system outputs reflect the activation and the trig status of the function.

[542] ScreenViewer
[542] ScreenViewer
This option adds a user window to display user defined screens with advanced display
functions. The user window can be displayed at any time, regardless of the execution
state of the RAPID programs.
User defined screens
The user defined screens are composed of:
A fixed background with a size of 12 lines of 40 characters each. These characters
can be ASCII and/or horizontal or vertical strokes (for underlining, separating or
framing).
1 to 5 function keys.
1 to 4 pop-up menus containing from 1 to 10 choices.
1 to 30 display and input fields defined by:
- Their position and size.
- Their type (display, input).
- Their display format (integer, decimal, binary, hexadecimal, text).
- A possible boundary with minimum and maximum limits.
Example of a user defined screen. The ### represent the fields.

Advanced Display functions

The user defined screens run independently of the RAPID programs.
Some events occur on a screen (new screen displayed, menu choice selected, function
key pressed, field modified, ...). A list of user screen commands can be associated with
any of these events, then when the event occurs, the command list will be executed.
[542] ScreenViewer
A screen event can occur
- When a new screen is displayed (to initialize the screen contents).
- After a chosen interval (to refresh a screen).
- When a menu choice or a function key is selected (to execute a specific action,
or change the screen).
- When a new value is entered in a field, or when a new field is selected (to execute some specific action).
The commands that can be executed on screen events are
- Reading/writing RAPID or I/O data.
- Reading/writing fields contents.
- Arithmetical (+, -, /, *, div) or logical (AND, OR, NOT, XOR) operations on the
data read.
- Comparing data read (=, <, >) and carrying out a command or not, depending
on the comparison result.
- Displaying a different screen.
Capacities
The user screens can be grouped in a screen package file under a specific name. Up to
8 packages can be loaded at the same time.
A certain amount of memory (approx. 50 kbytes) is reserved for loading these screen
packages.
- The screen package to be displayed is selected using the far right hand menu
View (which shows a list of the screen packages installed).
ScreenMaker
ScreenMaker is a complete tool for creating and editing screens for the ScreenViewer
on desktop computers running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT.
See ScreenMaker Product Specification.
10
[532] Multitasking
[532] Multitasking
Up to 10 programs (tasks) can be executed in parallel with the normal robot program.
- These additional tasks start automatically at power on and will continue until
the robot is powered off, i.e. even when the main process has been stopped and
in manual mode.
- They are programmed using standard RAPID instructions, except for motion
instructions.
- They can be programmed to carry out various activities in manual or automatic
mode, and depending on whether or not the main process is running.
- Communication between tasks is carried out via I/O or global data.
- Priorities can be set between the processes.
Examples of applications:
- The robot is continuously monitoring certain signals even when the robot
program has stopped, thus taking over the job traditionally allocated to a PLC.
- An operator dialogue is required at the same time as the robot is doing, for
example, welding. By putting this operator dialogue into a background task, the
operator can specify input data for the next work cycle without having to stop
the robot.
- The robot is controlling a piece of external equipment in parallel with the
normal program execution.
Performance
When the various processes are programmed in the correct way, no performance
problems will normally occur:
- When the priorities for the various processes are correctly set, the normal
program execution of the robot will not be affected.
- Because monitoring is implemented via interrupts (instead of checking
conditions at regular intervals), processor time is required only when
something actually happens.
- All input and output signals are accessible for each process.
Note that the response time of Multitasking does not match that of a PLC. Multitasking
is primary intended for less demanding tasks. The normal response time is about 5 ms,
but in the worst cases, e.g. when the processor is computing new movements, it can be
up to 120 ms.
The available program memory can be divided up arbitrarily between the processes.
However, each process in addition to the main process will reduce the total memory,
see Product Specification S4Cplus.
11
[531] Advanced Motion

Contains functions that offer the following possibilities:
- Resetting the work area for an axis.
- Independent movements.
- Contour tracking.
- Coordinated motion with external manipulators.
Resetting the work area for an axis
The current position of a rotating axis can be adjusted a number of complete turns
without having to make any movements.
- When polishing, a large work area is sometimes needed on the robot axis 4 or
axis 6 in order to be able to carry out final polishing without stopping. Assume
that the axis has rotated 3 turns, for example. It can now be reset using this
function, without having to physically rotate it back again. Obviously this will
reduce cycle times.
- When arc welding, the work object is often fitted to a rotating external axis. If
this axis is rotated more than one turn during welding, the cycle time can be
reduced because it is not necessary to rotate the axis back between welding
cycles.
Coordinated motion with multi-axis manipulators
Coordinated motion with multi-axis manipulators or robot carriers (gantries) requires
the Advanced Motion option. Note that simultaneous coordination with several single
axis manipulators, e.g. track motion and workpiece manipulator, does not require
Advanced Motion.
Note! There is a built-in general method for defining the geometry for a manipulator
comprising two rotating axes (see Users Guide, Calibration). For other types of
manipulators/robot carriers, comprising up to six linear and/or rotating axes, a special
configuration file is needed. Please contact your nearest local ABB office.
Contour tracking
Path corrections can be made in the path coordinate system. These corrections will take
effect immediately, also during movement between two positions. The path corrections
must be entered from within the program. An interrupt or multitasking is therefore
required to activate the correction during motion.
Example of application:
- A sensor is used to define the robot input for path correction during motion.
The input can be defined via an analog input, a serial channel or similar.
Multitasking or interrupts are used to read this information at specific intervals.
Based on the input value, the path can then be adjusted.
12

Independent movements
A linear or rotating axis can be run independently of the other axes in the robot system.
The independent movement can be programmed as an absolute or relative position.
A continuous movement with a specific speed can also be programmed.
- A robot is working with two different stations (external axes). First, a work
object located at station 1 is welded. When this operation is completed, station
1 is moved to a position where it is easy to change the work object and at the
same time the robot welds the work object at station 2. Station 1 is moved
independently of the robots movement, which simplifies programming and
reduces the cycle time.
- The work object is located on an external axis that rotates continuously at a
constant speed. In the mean time, the robot sprays plasma, for example, on the
work object. When this is finished the work area is reset for the external axis in
order to shorten the cycle time.
Friction Compensation
During low speed (10-100 mm/s) cutting of fine profiles, in particular small circles, a
friction effect, typically in the form of approximately 0.5 mm bumps, can be noted.
Advanced Motion offers a possibility of compensating for these frictional effects.
Typically a 0.5 mm bump can be reduced to about 0.1 mm. This, however, requires
careful tuning of the friction level (see Users Guide for tuning procedure). Note that
even with careful tuning, there is no guarantee that perfect paths can always be
generated.
For the IRB 6400 family of robots, no significant effects can be expected by applying
Friction Compensation.

transferred between the robot and other peripheral equipment, e.g. a PC, bar code
reader, or another robot. Information is transferred via an RS232 or RS485 serial
channel.
- Printout of production statistics on a printer connected to the robot.
- Reading part numbers from a bar code reader with a serial interface.
- Transferring data between the robot and a PC.
The transfer is controlled entirely from the robots work program. When it is required
to control the transfer from a PC, use the option RAP Communication or FactoryWare
Interface.
Data transfer via files
Data in the form of character strings, numerical values or binary information can be
written to or read from files on a diskette or other type of mass storage/memory.
- Storing production statistics on a diskette or flashdisk. This information can
then be read and processed by an ordinary PC.
- The robots production is controlled by a file. This file may have been created
in a PC, stored on a diskette, and read by the robot at a later time.

Fixed position output
The value of an output (digital, analog or a group of digitals) can be ordered to change
at a certain distance before or after a programmed position. The output will then change
at the same place every time, irrespective of the robots speed.
Consideration can also be given to time delays in the process equipment. By specifying
this time delay, the output is set at the corresponding time before the robot reaches the
specified position.
The distance can also be specified as a certain time before the programmed position.
This time (max. 500 ms) must be within the deceleration time when approaching that
position.
- Handling press work, to provide a safe signalling system between the robot and
the press, which will reduce cycle times. Just as the robot leaves the press, an
output is set that starts the press.
- Starting and finishing process equipment. When using this function, the start
will always occur at the same position irrespective of the speed. For dispensing
and sealing, see DispenseWare.
Fixed position IO check
The value of an input/output signal (digital, analog or group) can be checked at a certain
distance before or after a programmed position. The signal will then be checked at the
same place every time, irrespective of the robot's speed.
The distance can also be specified as a certain time (max 500 ms) before the
programmed position.
The data being checked is compared with a certain programmed value and if the
comparison is false, the robot will stop and an interrupt routine will be executed. In the
interrupt routine appropriate error handling can be executed.
- A robot is used for extraction of parts from a die casting machine. Before entering the machine the robot can check, in the fly, if the gate is open. If not, the
robot will stop and, in the interrupt routine, wait for the gate to open.
Fixed position procedure call
A procedure call can be carried out when the robot passes the middle of a corner zone.
The position will remain the same, irrespective of the robots speed.
Example of application:
- In the press example above, it may be necessary to check a number of logical
conditions before setting the output that starts the press. A procedure which
takes care of the complete press start operation is called at a position just outside
the press.
15

World Zones
A spherical, cylindrical or cubical volume can be defined within the working space.
When the robot reaches this volume it will either set an output or stop with the error
message Outside working range, both during program execution and when the robot
is jogged into this area. The areas, which are defined in the world coordinate system,
can be automatically activated at start-up or activated/deactivated from within the
program.
- A volume is defining the home position of the robot.
When the robot is started from a PLC, the PLC will check that the robot is
inside the home volume, i.e. the corresponding output is set.
- The volume is defining where peripheral equipment is located within the
working space of the robot.
This ensures that the robot cannot be moved into this volume.
- A robot is working inside a box.
By defining the outside of the box as a forbidden area, the robot cannot run into
the walls of the box.
- Handshaking between two robots both working in the same working space.
When one of the robots enters the common working space, it sets an output and
after that enters only when the corresponding output from the other robot is
reset.
Movements in interrupt routines and error handlers
This function makes it possible to temporarily interrupt a movement which is in
progress and then start a new movement which is independent of the first one. The
robot stores information about the original movement path which allows it to be
resumed later.
- Cleaning the welding gun when a welding fault occurs. When a welding fault
occurs, there is normally a jump to the programs error handler. The welding
movement in progress can be stored and the robot is ordered to the cleaning
position so that the nozzle can be cleaned. The welding process can then be
restarted, with the correct parameters, at the position where the welding fault
occurred. This is all automatic, without any need to call the operator. (This
requires options ArcWare or ArcWare Plus.)
- Via an input, the robot can be ordered to interrupt program execution and go to
a service position, for example. When program execution is later restarted
(manually or automatically) the robot resumes the interrupted movement.
Cross-connections with logical conditions
Logical conditions for digital input and output signals can be defined in the robots
system parameters using AND, OR and NOT. Functionality similar to that of a PLC
can be obtained in this way.
16

Example:
- Output 1 = Input 2 AND Output 5.
- Input 3 = Output 7 OR NOT Output 8.
- Program execution to be interrupted when both inputs 3 and 4 become high.
- A register is to be incremented when input 5 is set, but only when output 5=1
and input 3=0.
Interrupts from analog input or output signals
An interrupt can be generated if an analog input (or output) signal falls within or outside
a specified interval.

Discrete Applications Platform (DAP) is a software platform for time critical
applications, where certain actions shall be performed at specific robot positions.
Target users are advanced application software engineers and system integrators, e.g.
for spot welding, drilling, measuring, quality control. The main advantages are
achieved in the following areas:
- Development time
- Program execution time.
- RAPID- program memory needed
- Similar look and feel between applications
- Tested kernel software
Features
Specialized RAPID instructions and datatypes.
A single instruction for motion and process execution.
Combination of fine point positioning with execution of up to 4 parallel processes.
Specialized process for monitoring of external process devices, like spot welding
controllers.
Supports encapsulation of the process and motion, in shell-routines provided to the
end-user.
The Advanced Functions option is included in DAP.
Application
Creation of software for advanced applications with a discrete behaviour, such as spot
welding, drilling, measuring, quality control.
Performance
C-code kernel and RAPID calls.
The DAP platform is designed to have an internal kernel, administrating the fast and
quality secured process sequence skeleton. The kernel calls RAPID routines, which are
prepared by the application writer to fulfil the specific tasks. The application developer
regulates the degree of flexibility of the end-user.
Requirements
There are no other requirements than S4CPlus cabinet and BaseWare.
Rapid instructions included in this option
See RAPID Discrete Application Platform Users Guide.
22
[540] Conveyor Tracking
[540] Conveyor Tracking

Conveyor Tracking (also called Line Tracking) is the function whereby the robot
follows a work object which is mounted on a moving conveyor. While tracking the
conveyor, the programmed TCP speed relative to the work object will be maintained,
even when the conveyor speed is changing slowly.
Note that hardware components for measuring the conveyor position are also necessary
for this function. Please refer to the Product Specification for your robot.
Conveyor Tracking provides the following features:
- A conveyor can be defined as either linear or circular.
- It is possible to have four conveyors connected simultaneously and to switch
between tracking the one or the other.
- Up to 254 objects can reside in an object queue which can be manipulated by
RAPID instructions.
- It is possible to define a start window in which an object must be before tracking can start.
- A maximum tracking distance may be specified.
- If the robot is mounted on a parallel track motion, then the system can be configured such that the track will follow the conveyor and maintain the relative
position to the conveyor.
- Tracking of a conveyor can be activated on the fly, i.e. it is not necessary to
stop in a fine point.
Performance
At 150 mm/s constant conveyor speed, the TCP will stay within 2 mm of the path as
seen with no conveyor motion. When the robot is stationary relative to the conveyor,
the TCP will remain within 0.7 mm of the intended position.
These values are valid as long as the robot is within its dynamic limits with the added
conveyor motion and they require accurate conveyor calibration.
WaitWObj
DropWObj
Connects to a work object in the start window

Disconnects from the current object

the start position, through a safe maneuver
RAPID instruction included in this option
There are no RAPID instructions included in this option.
24
[547]Sensor Synchronization
[547] Sensor Synchronization

Sensor Synchronization adjusts the robot speed to an external moving device (e.g. a
press or conveyor) with the help of a sensor. This option simplifies programming and
improves productivity of any loading /unloading application since it provides
automatic sensor status check and speed adjustment.
The robot TCP speed will be adjusted in correlation to the sensor output so that the
robot will reach the programmed robtargets at the same time as the external device
reaches their programmed positions. The synchronization is started/stopped with a new
instruction, SyncToSensor, combined with movement instructions (fine points or
corner zones).
Note that hardware components for measuring the sensor output are needed for this
function. The same hardware as for Conveyor Tracking is used: encoder and canbus
boards. Please refer to the Product Specification for your robot.
Features
Up to 4 sensors/robot.
On-the-fly activation.
Valid for any type of movement.
RAPID access to sensor and queue data.
Object queue: the same functionality as conveyor tracking.
Applications

The Sensor Interface option can be used to integrate sensor equipment for adaptive
control, like path correction or process tuning. The option includes a driver for serial
communication with the sensor system using a specific link protocol (RTP1) and a
specific application protocol (LTAPP). The communication link makes it easy to
exchange data between the robot controller and the sensor system, using predefined
numbers for different data like x,y,z offset values, gap between sheets, time stamp etc.
Features
Interrupt routines, based on sensor data changes.
Read/write sensor data from/to sensors using RAPID functions.
Store/retrieve sensor data as a block to/from a mass memory.
Seam tracking functionality, when combined with option Advanced Motion, based
on using the contour tracking (path correction) functionality.
Application

[561] Servo Tool Control

The Servo Tool Control is a general and flexible software platform for controlling an
integrated servo tool from S4CPlus. For additional features, like control of external
processes, or control of several ServoGuns in parallel, please refer to the option
SpotWare Servo.
Target users are advanced system integrators who want to develop customer specific
application software, such as spotwelding packages.
As a quick-start, the option includes an example code package. This package can be
used as a base for application development.
Features
Position control (gap).
Force control.
Dynamic and kinematic model (tool configured as external axis).
Example code package.
Application
Spot Welding with Servo Guns: The option provides advanced control functionality for
Servo Guns. Communication with Weld timers and other process control functionality
needs to be implemented outside this option. For a total spot welding package, please
refer to the option SpotWare Servo.
Performance
The tool is configured as an external axis, which ensures optimal performance,
regarding path following and speed. (Dynamic and kinematic model.)
The option Servo Tool Change can be added to the system in order to allow a switch
between two or more servo tool, which will then utilize the same drive unit and
measurement board.
Requirements
Motion parameter file
A specific servo tool parameter file has to be installed in the controller, for each
servo tool. The parameter file is optimized for each system, concerning system
behaviour and motion/process performance.

[631] Servo Tool Change

Servo Tool Change enables an on-line change of tools (external axes), for a certain drive- and
measurement system. The control is switched between the axes by switching the motor cables
from one servo motor to another. The switch is performed on-line, during production.
The main advantages are:

- Flexibility in the production process
One robot handles several tools
- Minimized equipment
A single drive-measurement system shared by many tools
Features
On-line change of tools.
Up to 8 different tools.
Application
Servo gun changing; Robot held servo guns, designed for different reach and weld
forces, equipped with different brands and sizes of servo motors, may be held and
operated by a robot, switching from one servo gun to another.
Servo Tool Change can be used as an independent option, or as an addition to the
SpotWare Servo or Servo Toool Control options.
Requirements
Servo Tool Change requires a mechanical wrist interface, a Tool Changer.
A MOC service parameter, Disconnect deactive = YES (Types: Measurement
channel), must be set for each tool (external axis) used with this function.
Performance
When switching tools, the following steps are performed (switching from Axis 1 to
Axis 2):
- Axis 1 is deactivated using the RAPID instruction DeactUnit.
- Axis 1 is disconnected from the motor cables.
- Axis 2 is connected to the motor cables.
- Axis 2 is activated using RAPID instruction ActUnit.
After activation, Axis 2 is ready to run.
29

The motor position at the moment of deactivation of one axis is saved and restored next
time the axis is activated. Note: The motor position must not change more than half a
motor revolution, when the axis is disconnected. In SpotWare Servo, there is a
calibration routine, which handles larger position changes.
There are no specific RAPID instructions included in this option.
30
[535] RAP Communication
[535] RAP Communication

This option is required for all communication with a superior computer, where none of
the WebWare products are used. It includes the same functionality described for the
option Factory Ware Interface.
It also works for the WebWare products. There is no difference from the FactoryWare
Interface (except that the price is higher).
Note that both FactoryWare Interface and RAP Communication can be installed
simultaneously.
31
[543] Ethernet Services
[543] Ethernet Services

FTP
This option includes the same functionality as described for Ethernet Services NFS
except that the protocol used for remote mounted disc functionality is FTP.
The aspect of authorization differs between NFS and FTP.
- All programs for the robot are stored in the PC. When a new part is to be
produced, i.e. a new program is to be loaded, the program can be read directly
from the hard disk of the PC. This is done by a manual command from the teach
pendant or an instruction in the program. If the option RAP Communication or
FactoryWare Interface is used, it can also be done by a command from the PC
(without using the ramdisk as intermediate storage).
- Several robots are connected to a PC via Ethernet. The control program and the
user programs for all the robots are stored on the PC. A software update or a
program backup can easily be executed from the PC.
NFS
Information in mass storage, e.g. the hard disk in a PC, can be read directly from the
robot using the NFS protocol. The robot control program can also be booted via
Ethernet instead of using diskettes. This requires Ethernet hardware in the robot.
32
[534] FactoryWare Interface
[534] FactoryWare Interface

This option enables the robot system to communicate with a PC. FactoryWare Interface
serves as a run-time license for WebWare, i.e. the PC does not require any license
protection when executing a WebWare based application.
Factory Ware Interface includes the Robot Application Protocol (RAP). The Robot
Application Protocol is used for computer communication. The following functions are
supported:
- Start and stop program execution
- Transfer programs to/from the robot
- Transfer system parameters to/from the robot
- Transfer files to/from the robot
- Read the robot status
- Read and write data
- Read and write output signals
- Read input signals
- Read error messages
- Change robot mode
- Read logs
RAP communication is available both for serial links and network, as illustrated by the
figure below.
RAP
RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
TCP/IP
Standard protocols

Ethernet
RS232/RS422
- Production is controlled from a superior computer. Information about the robot
status is displayed by the computer. Program execution is started and stopped
from the computer, etc.
- Transferring programs and parameters between the robot and a PC. When many
different programs are used in the robot, the computer helps in keeping track of
them and by doing back-ups.

(8 digital input signals and 8 digital output signals).
For more information on any of these units, please contact the supplier.
The communication between these units and S4Cplus has been verified (this does not,
however, guarantee the internal functionality and quality of the units). Configuration
data for the units is included.
In I/O Plus there is also support for a so-called Welder. This is a project specific spot
welding timer, and is not intended for general use.
In addition to the above units, the I/O Plus Generic Driver also opens up the
possibility to use other digital I/O units that conform with the DeviceNet specification.
ABB does not assume any responsibility for the functionality or quality of such units.
The user must provide the appropriate configuration data.
I/O Plus also opens up the use of the second DeviceNet channel named CAN2, the
configuration of the second channel is automatic if you have I/O Plus.
I/O Plus also opens up the DeviceNet Slave functionality, which allow the S4Cplus
controller to act as a slave unit towards another DeviceNet master, the configuration
data for the slave unit is included.
36
[551] ArcWare
3 ProcessWare
[551] ArcWare
ArcWare comprises a large number of dedicated arc welding functions, which make the
robot well suited for arc welding. It is a simple yet powerful program since both the
positioning of the robot and the process control and monitoring are handled in one and
the same instruction.
I/O signals, timing sequences and weld error actions can be easily configured to meet
the requirements of a specific installation.
ArcWare functions
A few examples of some useful functions are given below.
Adaptation to different equipment
The robot can handle different types of weld controllers and other welding equipment.
Normally communication with the welding controller uses parallel signals but a serial
interface is also available.
Advanced process control
Voltage, wire feed rate, and other process data can be controlled individually for each
weld or part of a weld. The process data can be changed at the start and finish of a
welding process in such a way that the best process result is achieved.
Testing the program
When testing a program, welding, weaving or weld guiding can all be blocked. This
provides a way of testing the robot program without having the welding equipment
connected.
Automatic weld retry
A function that can be configured to order one or more automatic weld retries after a
process fault.
Weaving
The robot can implement a number of different weaving patterns up to 10 Hz
depending on robot type. These can be used to fill the weld properly and in the best
possible way. Weaving movement can also be ordered at the start of the weld in order
to facilitate the initial striking of the arc.
37
[551] ArcWare
Wire burnback and rollback
These are functions used to prevent the welding wire sticking to the work object.
Fine adjustment during program execution
The welding speed, wire feed rate, voltage and weaving can all be adjusted whilst
welding is in progress. This makes trimming of the process much easier because the
result can be seen immediately on the current weld. This can be done in both manual
and automatic mode.
Seam finding and tracking
Seam finding and tracking can be implemented using a number of different types of

[552] ArcWare Plus
[552] ArcWare Plus

ArcWare Plus contains the following functionality:
- ArcWare, see previous chapter.
- Arc data monitoring.
Arc data monitoring with adapted RAPID instructions for process supervision.
The function predicts weld errors.
- Contour tracking during welding.
Path corrections during welding, i.e. when executing ArcL or ArcC
instructions, can be made relative to the path using external sensors like Serial
Weld Guide or Laser Track. Such corrections will take effect immediately, also
during movement between two positions. The correction data are sent from the
sensor system to the controller using a serial link and will automatically affect
the path through built in functionality.
Please note, that this option is compulsory for Serial Weld Guide systems
(AWC) or Laser Track systems (M-Spot 90).
- Contour tracking in normal movements (path corrections)
Path corrections can also be activated when running normal movements like
MoveL using specific RAPID path correction instructions.
This functionality is also a part of option Advanced Motion, see this option for
more information.
- Adaptive process control for e.g. sensors like LaserTrak and Serial Weld Guide
systems. The sensor can for instance provide the robot system with changes in
the shape of the seam. These values can then be used to adapt the process
parameters, like voltage or wire feed, to the current shape. (See option Sensor
Interface for more information)

[556] Arcitec
[556] Arcitec
This option is intended to be used in combination with the Arcitec power sources.
It shall only be ordered by the supplying unit of Arcitec.
The package is a special software, used together with the ArcWare package, to be able
to control not only the robot program but also the set up, configuration and
programming of the power source. Thus the robot teach pendant will be used for
programming and tuning both the robot and the power source.
The package also includes a special aid for easy welding programming, i.e. the synergic
function. This means that there is a pre-programmed relationsship between the wire
feed rate and all other data components in the power source, making it easy to control
the entire welding process, just by tuning the wire feed rate.

[553] SpotWare
[553] SpotWare
The Spotweld options are general and flexible software platforms for creation of
customized and easy to use function packages for different types of spotweld systems
and process equipments.
The SpotWare option is used for sequential welding with one or several pneumatic gun
equipments. If welding with several pneumatic guns at the same time is desired then
the SpotWare Plus option has to be used instead.
The SpotWare option provides dedicated spotweld instructions for fast and accurate
positioning combined with gun manipulation, process start and supervision of the weld
equipment.
Communication with the welding equipment is normally carried out by means of
digital inputs and outputs but a serial interface is also available for some type of weld
timers.
It should be noted that the SpotWare options are general and can be extensively
customized. They have a default ready to use functionality directly after install but it
is intended that some configuration data, RAPID data and RAPID routines has to be
changed during the customizing.
SpotWare features
Some examples of useful functions are given below:
- Fast and accurate positioning using the unique QuickMove and TrueMove
concept.
- Gun pre-closing.
- Quick start after a weld.
- Handling of an on/off gun with two strokes.
- Dual/single gun.
- Manual actions for welding and gun control.
- Simulation possibilities for test purposes.
- Reverse execution with gun control.
- Spot counters.
- User-defined supervision and error recovery. Weld error recovery with
automatic rewelding.
- User-defined continuous supervision of the weld equipment, such as weld
current signal and water cooling start. Note: This feature requires the
MultiTasking option.
- Wide customizing possibilities.
42
[553] SpotWare
Principles of SpotWare
The SpotWare functions will be controlled by separate internal program processes,
which will run in parallel. For instance the robot movements, the continuous supervision and the spot welding will be handled in different independent processes. This
means that if for instance the program execution and thus the robot movements is
stopped, then the welding and supervision will continue until they come to a well
defined process stop. For example, the welding process will carry on and finish the
weld and open the gun, although the program has been stopped during the weld phase.
For well defined points in the welding sequence and movements, calls to user routines
offer adaptations to the plant environment. A number of predefined parameters are also
available to shape the behaviour of the SpotWare instructions.
Programming principles
Both the robot movement and the control of the spot weld equipment are embedded in
the basic spot weld instructions SpotL and SpotJ.
The spot welding process is specified by:
- Spotdata: spot weld process data
- Gundata: spot weld equipment data
- The system modules SWUSRC and SWUSRF: RAPID routines and global data
for changing of process and test behaviour.
- System parameters: the I/O Signal configuration.

[554] SpotWare Plus
[554] SpotWare Plus

The SpotWare Plus package provides support for sequential welding with one or
several pneumatic on/off gun equipments, as the SpotWare package, but also welding
and full individual monitoring of up to four separate gun equipments at the same time.
SpotWare Plus features
The SpotWare Plus package contains the same features as SpotWare
but with following feature in addition:
- Possibility to weld with up to four guns at the same time.
Principles of SpotWare Plus
As in SpotWare the spotweld functions will be controlled by separate internal program
processes, which will run in parallel. For instance the robot movements, the continuous
supervision and each spotweld process will be handled in different independent program processes. This means that if for instance the program execution and thus the
robot movements is stopped, then the weld processes and supervision will continue
until they come to a well defined process stop. For example, the welding processes will
carry on and finish the welds and open the guns, although the program has been stopped
during the weld phase.
For well defined points in the welding sequence, calls to user routines offer adaptations
to the plant environment. A number of predefined parameters are also available to
shape the behaviour of the SpotWare instruction.
The opening and closing of the guns are always executed by RAPID routines. These
gun routines may be changed from the simple on/off default functionality to a more
complex gun control and they may contain additional gun supervision.
SpotWarePlus is based on the DAP (Discrete Application Platform).
Both the robot movement and control of up to four spot weld processes are embedded
in the basic spot weld instructions for multiple welding, SpotML and SpotMJ.
Each spot welding process is specified by:
- Spotmdata: spot weld process data
- Gunmdata: spot weld equipment data
- The system modules SWUSRF and SWUSRC: RAPID routines and global data
for customizing purposes and data for changing of process and test behaviour.
- System parameters: the I/O Signal configuration.

accurate positioning combined with gun manipulation, process start and supervision of
the different gun equipments.
Communication with the welding equipment is carried out by means of digital inputs
and outputs.
It should be noted that the SpotWare options are general and can be extensively
customized. They have a default ready to use functionality directly after install but it
is intended that some configuration data, RAPID data and RAPID routines has to be
changed during the customizing.

[571] PalletWare
[571] PalletWare
General
PalletWare is a ready-to-use software package for the S4Cplus controller, focused on
palletizing. PalletWare imports data created with PalletWizard, the included off-line
PC-tool, to execute the defined palletizing cycles. PalletWare has a predefined
interface for connecting PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which is the most
common way to control external equipment such as infeeders, outfeeders and sensor
equipment. The standard package includes software components such as priority and
scheduling routines that are ready to use. The package also includes components that
can be customized, e.g. grip tool control routines.
PalletWare supports system integrators who want to customize the system, by
presenting a standardized interface.
What is included
Included in the PalletWare package is software components to control robot motion,
and to communicate with the user and external equipment.
In order to minimize commissioning time, PalletWare is equipped with a standardized
set of modules, referred to as the Standard Package Add-On. Advanced users can
replace these modules with their own if special customizing is needed. PalletWare is
also delivered with template user routines that handles the most common solutions.
PalletWare offers a standardized interface where to connect all external equipment
such as infeeders, PLC, signal board, grip tool, sensor equipment etc. The package
includes a set of predefined signals connected to a simulated board. The integrator has
to implement the signal board and connect the signals. The configuration file for the
signals has also to be modified depending on what type of board is used. Because of
the large amount of signals, it is recommended to use a field bus such as for example
Profibus.
PalletWare features
PalletWare offers for example following functionality:
- Multiplacing
- Parallel processing, up to 5 stations simultaneously
- Multistationary production
- User dialogue interface with Screen Viewer
- On-line tuning of geometrical data
- Safety functionality
- Prepared PLC interface
- Prepared MMI interface
53
[571] PalletWare
- Tool control
- Standardized error handling
- Predefined user routines
PalletWare is added to the BaseWare system. PalletWare consists of predefined motion
principles and communication routines for communicating with external equipment. It
is not necessarily needed to implement any RAPID code. However, the system supports
integrators for customizing by standardized functions and instructions.
Customizing PalletWare
PalletWare can be up-and-running without any need for implementing RAPID code,
but it must be adapted to the current robot cell and its physical lay-out. For instance,
there are a number of steps which are compulsory, e.g:
- Connect external equipment such as infeeders, tool, PLC etc., via the predefined
interface.
- Connect safety equipment such as emergency stop, safety fences etc.
- Define tooldata if the tool does not match the templates
- Check the set-up in the configuration module PAL_CFG.
- Define/teach work objects to the stations
- Define/teach robtarget with tool in zero orientation
- Create and load pallet cycles with PalletWizard.
In addition to this, PalletWare offers a great deal of customizing possibilities for
advanced users, e.g.
- Using tools with suction cups or mechanical gripper
- Sliding uppermost layer to gain pallet height
- Controlling orientation on infeeder
- Add or skip safety height movements between stations
- Set priority when working with several pallet cycles in parallel.
- Etc.
Pallet Wizard
Pallet Wizard is a complete and easy to use stand alone tool running on a PC under
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, for off line programming of palletizing or
depalletizing processes. It is delivered as a part of the PalletWare option package.
In PalletWizard the complete cell with its different components like the products, the
tools, the in/out feeders and pallet stations as well as the pallet cycles with the layers
and the pattern descriptions can be defined.
54
[571] PalletWare
PalletWizard offers for example the following features:
- Detailed On-line help
- Wizards for defining the products, tools, cell definition, station configurations,
pallet composition and the pallet cycles
- Automatic pick- and place definition
- Automatic calculating of grip zones to be used for the tool
- Software based collision detection
- Library of predefined patterns
Several different pallet cycles can be combined into a production cycle and saved into
a file, which can be downloaded to the robot. At the robot the operator can then select
what specific pallet cycle to run and on which infeeder and pallet station.

To be observed
by the supplier of
the complete system
The instructions in the Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning must always
be followed.
Emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so that the
robot can be stopped quickly.
Those in charge of operations must make sure that safety instructions are available
for the installation in question.
Those who install the robot must have the appropriate training for the robot system in
question and in any safety matters associated with it.
To prevent injuries and damage during the installation of the robot system, the regulations
applicable in the country concerned and the instructions of ABB Robotics must be complied
with.
Safety zones, which have to be crossed before admittance, must be set up in front of
the robot's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable devices.
Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot's working
space.
The axes are affected by the force of gravity when the brakes are released. In addition
to the risk of being hit by moving robot parts, you run the risk of being crushed by the
tie rod.
Energy, stored in the robot for the purpose of counterbalancing certain axes, may be
released if the robot, or parts thereof, is dismantled.
When dismantling/assembling mechanical units, watch out for falling objects.
Be aware of stored heat energy in the controller.
Never use the robot as a ladder, i.e. do not climb on the robot motors or other parts
during service work. There is a serious risk of slipping because of the high temperature of the motors or oil spills that can occur on the robot.
The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the safety
function are interlocked in accordance with the applicable standards for that function.
The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the emergency stop function are interlocked in a safe manner, in accordance with the applicable standards for the emergency stop function.

Although troubleshooting may, on occasion, have to be carried out while the power
supply is turned on, the robot must be turned off (by setting the mains switch to OFF)
when repairing faults, disconnecting electric leads and disconnecting or connecting
units.
The mains supply to the robot must be connected in such a way that it can be turned
off outside the robots working space.
A danger of high voltage is associated with the following parts:
Be aware of stored electrical energy (DC link) in the controller.

1.3.1 Safety fence dimensions
Section 1.3: Safety actions

General
Fit a safety fence or enclosure around the robot to ensure a safe robot installation.
Dimensioning
Dimension the fence or enclosure to enable it to withstand the force created if the load being
handled by the robot is dropped or released at maximum speed. Determine the maximum
speed from the maximum velocities of the robot axes and from the position at which the robot
is working in the work cell (see Product Specification - Description, Robot Motion).
Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning rotating
tool or other device fitted to the manipulator.
1.3.2 Fire extinguishing

Use a CARBON DIOXIDE (CO 2 ) extinguisher in the event of a fire in the robot (manipulator
or controller)!
1.3.3 Emergency release of the manipulators arm
Description
In an emergency situation, any of the manipulators axes may be released manually by pushing the brake release buttons on the manipulator or on an optional external brake release unit.
How to release the brakes is detailed in section "Manually releasing the brakes".
The manipulator arm may be moved manually on smaller robot models, but larger models
may require using an overhead crane or similar.
Increased injury
Before releasing the brakes, make sure that the weight of the arms does not increase the
pressure on the trapped person, which may further increase any injury!
1.3.4 Brake testing
When to test
During operation the holding brakes of each axis motor wear normally. A test may be performed to determine whether the brake can still perform its function.
How to test
The function of each axis motor holding brakes may be checked as detailed below:
1. Run each manipulator axis to a position where the combined weight of the manipulator arm and any load is maximized (max. static load).
2. Switch the motor to the MOTORS OFF position with the Operating mode selector
on the controller.
3. Check that the axis maintains its position.
If the manipulator does not change position as the motors are switched off, then the brake
function is adequate.

1.3.5 Risk of disabling function "Reduced speed 250 mm/s"

Do not change "Transm gear ratio" or other kinematic parameters from the Teach Pendant Unit
or a PC. This will affect the safety function Reduced speed 250 mm/s.
1.3.6 Safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit

The enabling device is a push button located on the side of the Teach Pendant Unit (TPU)
which, when pressed halfway in, takes the system to MOTORS ON. When the enabling device
is released or pushed all the way in, the robot is taken to the MOTORS OFF state.
To ensure safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit, the following must be implemented:
The enabling device must never be rendered inoperative in any way.
During programming and testing, the enabling device must be released as soon as there is no
need for the robot to move.
The programmer must always bring the Teach Pendant Unit with him/her, when entering the
robots working space. This is to prevent anyone else taking control over the robot without the
programmer knowing.
1.3.7 Work inside the manipulators working range

If work must be carried out within the robots work envelope, the following points must be
observed:
- The operating mode selector on the controller must be in the manual mode position to render
the enabling device operative and to block operation from a computer link or remote control
panel.
- The robots speed is limited to max. 250 mm/s when the operating mode selector is in position
< 250 mm/s. This should be the normal position when entering the working space. The position
100% full speedmay only be used by trained personnel who are aware of the risks that this
entails.
- Pay attention to the rotating axes of the manipulator! Keep a distance to the axes in order not
to get entangled with hair or clothing. Also be aware of any danger that may be caused by
rotating tools or other devices mounted on the manipulator or inside the cell.
- Test the motor brake on each axis, according to section Brake testing on page 14.

2.1.2 Screw joints
2.1.2 Screw joints
General
This section details how to tighten the various types of screw joints on the manipulator as well
as the controller.
The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprising metallic materials
and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
Any instructions given in the repair, maintenance or installation procedure description override any value or procedure given here, i.e. these instruction are only valid for standard type
screw joints.
UNBRAKO
screws
UNBRAKO is a special type of screw recommended by ABB in certain screw joints. It features special surface treatment (Gleitmo as described below), and is extremely resistant to
fatigue.
Whenever used, this is specified in the instructions and in such cases no other type of replacement screw is allowed. Using other types of screw will void any warranty and may potentially
cause serious damage or injury!
Gleitmo treated
screws
Gleitmo is a special surface treatment to reduce the friction when tightening the screw joint.
Screws treated with Gleitmo may be reused 3-4 times before the coating disappears. After this
the screw must be discarded and replaced with a new one.
When handling screws treated with Gleitmo, protective gloves of nitrile rubber type should
be used.
Screws lubricated
in other ways
Screws lubricated with Molycote 1000 (or another lubricant) should only be used when specified in the repair, maintenance or installation procedure descriptions.
In such cases, proceed as follows:
1. Lubricate the thread of the screw.
2. Lubricate between the plain washer and screw head.
3. Tighten to the torque specified in section "Tightening torque" below. Screw dimensions
of M8 or larger must be tightened with a torque wrench. Screw dimensions of M6 or
smaller may be tightened without a torque wrench if this is done by trained and qualified personnel.

3.0.6 Risk of tipping/Stability
Risk of tipping
When the manipulator is not fastened to the floor and standing still, the manipulator is not
stable in the whole working area. Moving the arms will displace the centre of gravity, which
may cause the manipulator to tip over. DO NOT change the manipulator position before
securing it to the foundation.

General
The manipulator may be moved using a fork lift. Special aids are available.
This section applies to the IRB 7600 as well as IRB 6600.
Different designs
There are two different versions of the fork lift that fit one design of the frame respectevily.
The different designs of the frame and of the fork lift attachments are shown in the figure
below. Determine which fork lift set fits the current manipulator.
Note! The distance between the attachment holes for the fork lift pockets, shown in the figure
below, are different depending on the design of the frame. This means that the fork lift sets
are unique for one type of frame, they are in other words not compatible!
Except for the shorter distance between the attachment holes, the later design of the frame
also includes an extra oil plug, located as shown in the figure below.

4.1.4 Manually releasing the brakes
General
The section below details how to release the holding brakes of each axis motor. It applies to
IRB 7600 as well as IRB 6600/6650. Differences between the versions are highlighted in the
affected sections.
The brakes may be released by:
Internal brake release unit: using push buttons on the manipulator. This requires either
that the controller is connected or that power is supplied to the R1.MP connector (on
manipulator base), 0V on pin 12 and 24V on pin 11.
IRB 7600: External brake release unit: using push-buttons on an external brake
release unit. This does NOT require the controller to be connected. The external unit
is used when there are no push-buttons on the manipulator.
Supplying power on the wrong pins may cause all brakes on the manipulator to be released!

4.1.9 Loads
General
Any loads mounted on the manipulator must be defined correctly and carefully (with regard
to the position of center of gravity and inertia factor) in order to avoid jolting movements and
overloading the motors. If this is not done correctly operational stops may result.
References
Load diagrams, permitted extra loads (equipment) and their positions are specified in the
Product Specification. The loads must also be defined in the software as detailed in Users
Guide.
Stop time and

braking distances
Manipulator motor brake performance depends on any loads attached. For further information about brake performance, please contact ABB Robotics.

External units
External relay coils, solenoids, and other units that will be connected to the controller must
be neutralized. The figure below illustrates how this can be done.
The turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralisation, especially if a diode is connected
across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times. Neutralising the coils lengthens the life of
the switches that control them

5.5.1 External 24V supply
Section 5.5: Supplies

5.5.1 External 24V supply
When is an external supply recommended?
How to connect
the external supply
An external supply is recommended to make use of the advantages offered by the galvanic
insulation on the I/O units or on the panel unit.
An external supply must be used in the following cases:
When the internal supply is insufficient
When the emergency stop circuits must be independent of whether or not the robot
has power on, for example.
When there is a risk that major interference can be carried over into the internal 24V
supply.
The external supply neutral wire must be connected to the chassis such that the maximum
permitted potential difference in the chassis earth is not exceeded. For example, a neutral wire
can be connected to the chassis earth of the controller, or some other common earthing point.

I/O
CAN 1.1
Used for internal I/O unit mounted inside the cabinet. No terminating resistor is to be
mounted on CAN 1.1 regardless of whether any I/O units are used or not. CAN 1.1 is connected to socket X15 on the Base connector unit (see Connection of the CAN bus).
CAN 1.2
If CAN 1.2 is not used, a terminating resistor must be connected to the X6 socket (exceptional
case see below!).
3HAC 16245-1
103
If CAN 1.2 is used, the terminating resistor should be moved to the last I/O unit on the CAN
1.2 chain.
If CAN 1.2, for example, is not connected in the end of any CAN chain but somewhere between
the end points of the chain, then no terminating resistor should be mounted in CAN 1.3. This
is in accordance with the basic rule, i.e. the CAN chain should be terminated in both end points.
CAN 1.3
If CAN 1.3 is unused, a terminating resistor must be connected to the X7 socket.

If CAN 1.3 is used, the terminating resistor should be moved to the last I/O unit on the CAN
1.3 chain.
If CAN 1.2, for example, is not connected in the end of any CAN chain but somewhere between
the end points of the chain, then no terminating resistor should be mounted in CAN 1.3. This
is in accordance with the basic rule, i.e. the CAN chain should be terminated in both end points.

5.8.1 Allen-Bradley, general
Section 5.8: Communication

5.8.1 Allen-Bradley, general
General
The robot may communicate with the Allen Bradley system only, or be used in combination
with the I/O system in the robot. For example, the inputs to the robot may come from the
Allen Bradley system while the outputs from the robot control external equipment via general
I/O addresses and the Allen Bradley system only reads the outputs as status signals.
Definitions
The Allen Bradley system can communicate with up to 64 external systems. Each of these
systems is called a Rack and is given a Rack Address 0-63. Basically, each robot connected
to the Allen Bradley system will occupy one rack.
Each rack is divided into four sections called Quarters. Each quarter provides 32 inputs and
32 outputs and a rack will subsequently provide 128 inputs and 128 outputs. A rack may also
be shared by 2, 3, or 4 robots. Each of these robots will then have the same rack address, but
different starting quarters must be specified.
Illustration
The following illustration shows a block diagram of the Allen-Bradley system, where Robot
1 uses a full rack while robot 2 and robot 3 share one rack. The rack address, starting quarter,
and other required parameters such as baud rate, LED status etc. are entered in the configuration parameters.

7 Installation of controller software

7.0.1 Loading system software
Chapter 7: Installation of controller software

General
The robot system may delivered with or without system software. When the system is not
delivered with software, this must be downloaded in one of a number of ways.
Software installed
on delivery
If the robot controller is ordered with the software installed on delivery, the controller software and settings are already stored in the storage memory and the system is ready to use.
Software not
installed on
delivery
If the robot controller is ordered and delivered without software or if you want to reconfigure
your system, the RobInstall tool must be used to install the controller software. The RobInstall tool is included on the RobotWare CD-ROM (see section "RobotWare CD-ROM"). The
RobInstall tool can be used both for creation of the controller software and for downloading
it to the controller system.

Boot Image
The transfer and installation of the controller software to the controller storage memory via
Ethernet or floppy disks is executed by a basic program named Boot Image.
This basic program must always be in the storage memory. At start-up of the controller, without any controller software installed, Boot Image will start and ask the operator for controller
software installation instructions. If the controller software is already installed and a warm
start is performed, Boot Image is not used. The installed controller software can be deleted
by cold start and then the Boot Image will be reactivated.

7.0.3 Installing new Robot Controller Software with RobInstall
General
Nomenclature
How to use
RobInstall
Since most systems have the operating system installed already on delivery, the RobotWare
CD-ROM is normally not needed. However it should be used when:
creating a new controller operating system,
changing the current operating system configuration, e.g. concerning included

options.
In the text dealing with RobInstall, the following nomenclature is used:
Concept
Means
System pack
This is the RobotWare Controller Operating System Package for

S4Cplus, including all options, even if they are not ordered and activated.
Key
This is a text string, or a special file with the text string, which is used
to define and open both the BaseWare and all ordered RobotWare
options.
System
This is a complete controller software, i.e. controller operating system, based on the system pack and the key. It can also include any
user files to be added to the home directory on the controller storage
memory.
Robinstall is used to create and install the controller software in the S4Cplus robot controller.
With RobInstall, you can:
create a new system,
update an existing system,
download a system to the controller using the Ethernet connection,
create Boot Disks to transfer the system to the Controller.
Step Action

xx0100000194
C-START (Cold
start), delete the
active system
When executing a C-Start, the system exits the running system and deletes it from the mass
storage memory. The BootImage is then executed and the Start window as shown in the figure
in section "Start Window" is presented.
Use C-start with caution. Since it deletes the current system, it should not be used to just
switch between installed systems. For this purpose, use X-Start (see section "X-start").
It will take quite some time to implement a Cold start. Just wait until the robot shows the Start
window. When the Start window is shown, a new system can be selected if available in the
mass storage memory (see section "Select System) or a new system can be down loaded and
started (see section "Transfer Robot Controller System using Ethernet connection" or "Transfer Robot Controller System using floppy disks").
Do not touch any key, joystick, enable device, or emergency stop during the cold start until the

key.id (encrypted key file for the actual controller)
program.id (file with paths to selected programs in the media pool)
A syspar directory containing .cfg files to be included in the software installation procedure. All system parameter files, included when creating a system with RobInstall,
are stored in this syspar directory as shown in the table in section "System Pool Directory".
A directory called Home. In this home directory the user can include any file or files,
which should be downloaded to the controller together with the operating system.
Such files will then be placed in the home directory of the system in the controller.

File name
Description
E.g. 3HAC6811-1.00
Control system package, named as an article number
bin
BootImage code
BootRom.sys
System configuration and description file for the mass storage

Network configuration for the main computer
ctrl.bin
Holds e.g. revolution counter values
system.dir
Holds information on the current system
system directories
Different systems stored in the mass storage memory
Directories and
subdirectories
Each system directory holds a number of subdirectories, defining for instance language,
options, robots, etc.
"Home" directory
The system directory is the "home" directory for the system. When using the address "home:"
in the RAPID program, this directory will be addressed.
"Bin"
subdirectory
The subdirectory bin, containing the storage area for all system data, e.g. at power break. This
means that at warm start, in addition to restoring the operating system from the control system
package, all system data is restored from this directory and reloaded into the working memory.
Never change
these directories!
Never delete or change the \bin or BootRom.sys directories in the root directory. If this is
done, the controller cannot be restarted and the mass storage memory will be impossible to
use.

These are copied from the media pool and concatenated into one target file that also
holds the key.id and the syspar directory. This may then be downloaded to the controller via Ethernet or a set of diskettes. The target file is temporarily stored in the system

9.0.5 Handling mass memory storage capacity
General
In some cases it is very important that there is enough free space in the mass storage memory,
before attempting to download new system software. How to check its capacity, and if
required increase it, is detailed below.
A manual check on the free space can be done in one of the following ways:
Checking storage
capacity from the
Teach Pendant
Unit
Checking storage
capacity through
connection to the
MC/CONSOLE
port
1. Press the button Miscellaneous to select Service window .

2. Select Storage Capacity from the System Info menu. The Mass Storage
Memory is called hd0a .
1. Connect a console to the MC/CONSOLE outlet on the controller and execute the
command dosFsShow .
There should always be at least 25 Mb free disk space on the controller mass storage memory
before attempting to download a new system. For information on how to increase storage
capacity, see below!
Increasing
storage capacity
If the capacity of the mass storage memory is less than 25 Mb when a new controller system
is to be downloaded, storage memory must be released by removing old systems from the
mass storage memory. This can be done in one of the following ways:
1. Boot up on the system you would like to remove and then make a C-START (see
section "C-start").
2. Use the FileManager in the Teach Pendant Unit, see Users Guide - File Manager,
for more information on how to use the FileManager.
3. Use a third-party "ftp" client (like FTPVoyager supplied on the RobotWare CD).
Removing systems using the FileManager or FTP-client may be hazardous since the \bin and
BootRom.sys directories the must be kept intact.
Proceed with utmost care to avoid accidentally removing such files or directories!

10.1.3 Calibration, prerequisites
10.1.3 Calibration, prerequisites
General
The calibration procedure may be described as comparing the direction of two sensors, the
reference sensor and the calibration sensor, while running the robot to its calibration position,
thus reducing the sensor difference to close to zero.
All article numbers of relevant equipment are specified in their instructions respectively.
Peripheral equipment
The robot must be free from any peripheral equipment during calibration. Fitted welding guns
and similar will cause erroneous calibration positions.
Calibration order
The axes must be adjusted in increasing sequence, i.e. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6.
Calibration movement direction
When calibrating, the axis must consistently be run towards the calibration position in the
same direction, in order to avoid position errors caused by backlash in gears etc. Positive
directions are shown in the figure below.
This is normally handled by the robot calibration software.
NOTE The figure shows an IRB 7600, but the positive direction is the same for all robots!

3 Repair activities, manipulator

3.0.1 Introduction
Chapter 3: Repair activities, manipulator

3.0.1 Introduction
Definitions
This chapter details all repair activities recommended for the manipulator, including for any
external units of the manipulator.
It is made up of separate units, each detailing a specific repair activity, e.g. Removal or Refitting of a certain component on the manipulator. Each unit contains all information required
to perform the activity, e.g. spare parts numbers, required special tools and materials.
The chapter is divided into:
3HAC 16247-1
Removal/refitting instructions for all the spare parts on the manipulator
Remaining instructions for all the spare parts in e.g. the manipulators external units, if
any.

harness, axes 1-4
Note
The procedure below details how to remove the cable harness, axes 1-4.
Please observe the following before commencing any repair work on the manipulator:
- Motors and gears are HOT after running the robot! Burns may result from touching the
motors or gears!
- Turn off all electric power, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure supplies to the robot!
- Take any necessary measures to ensure that the manipulator does not collapse as parts are
removed, e.g. to secure the lower arm with fixtures if removing motor, axis 2.
The cable harnesses are sensitive to mechanical damage! They must be handled with care,
especially the connectors, in order to avoid damaging them!

3.0.2 Service Information System (SIS)
General
Service Information System (SIS) is a software function within the robot controller, which
simplifies maintenance of the robot system. It supervises the operating time and mode of the
robot, and alerts the operator when a maintenance activity is scheduled.
Supervised functions
The following counters may be set:
Calendar time counter, a general alarm based on calendar time
Operation time counter, a general alarm based on operational time
Gearbox 1 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 1 gearbox service
interval
interval
interval
interval
The figure below show the different selections possible:
xx0200000034
x OK
24
"OK" indicates that no service interval limit has been exceeded by that counter.
If any such limit was exceeded, the counter name would be followed by "NOK".
3HAC 16246-1

Calendar time
This is a clock within the control system that enables you to set a specific service interval,
based on calendar time:
xx0200000035
After this time, a message is accessible on the Tech Pendant Unit (TPU). How to access this
is detailed in section Reading the SIS output logs on page 35.
Operation time
Prev service
Date when the counter was reset last time, i.e. after the last service. This
date was entered manually as detailed in section Setting the SIS parameters on page 33.
Elapsed time
Elapsed time since the counter was reset the last time.
Next service
Date when next scheduled service is planned. This date is entered manually as detailed in section Setting the SIS parameters on page 33.
Remaining time
Remaining time to next scheduled service date.
This is a function within the control system that counts the amount of time the "MOTORS
ON" signal is active, i.e. the amount of time the robot is in the operational mode.
xx0200000036
After this time, a message is accessible on the Teach Pendant Unit (TPU). How to access this
is detailed in section Reading the SIS output logs on page 35.
3HAC 16246-1
Service interval
The specified service interval until another service will be required. This
parameter was entered manually as detailed in section Setting the SIS
parameters on page 33.
Elapsed time
Operation time since the service interval was set the last time.
Remaining time
Remaining operation time until the time set in service interval has
expired.
25

Gearbox
Based on measurements, torque and RPM, for example, the system calculates an expected
service interval for each gearbox. When service is due, a message will be shown on the TPU.
How to access this is detailed in section Reading the SIS output logs on page 35.
en0200000037
Axis x OK
Service status for axis x, i.e. the automatically calculated time parameter
has not been exceeded.
Axis x NOK
The service interval for the axis in question has been reached.
Axis x N/A
No service time parameter calculation available.

Applies to axes 4 and 5 (IRB 6600 and IRB 7600).

3.0.3 Defining the SIS input parameters
General
This section details the parameters that may be set with estimated values. The values can be
defined by the operating organization as knowledge of the robots working conditions are
accumulated.
Since the counters are to be used for purposes defined by the user, ABB cannot give any
recommendations regarding their definitions.
The figure below shows the options of parameters to be set.
en0200000049
Operation time
limit (service
level)
The number of operation hours selected as service interval.

E.g. by setting the value "20,000", the SIS will save this as the nominal time for activating
the alarm, not counting the percentage described below.
en0200000054
30
3HAC 16246-1

Operation time
warning
A percentage of the "Operation time limit" specified above.

E.g. by setting the value "90", the SIS will alert the operator 18,000 hours after an operation
time "Reset" was made the last time.
en0200000053
Calendar time
limit (service
level)
The number of calendar years selected as service interval.

E.g. by setting the value "2", the SIS will save this as the nominal time for activating the
alarm, not counting the percentage described below.
en0200000050
Calendar time
warning
A percentage of the "Calendar time limit" specified above.

E.g. by setting the value "90", the SIS will alert the operator after 90% of two years, i.e. 657
days after a calendar time "Reset" was made the last time.
en0200000051
3HAC 16246-1
31

Gearbox warning
A percentage of the gearbox service interval as calculated by the system.

E.g. by setting the value "90", the SIS will alert the operator after 90% of the expected service
interval of each gearbox.
The robot system automatically detects and stores all required variables to calculate the
expected service interval of each gearbox. This is done by extrapolating data from earlier
operation into a function of time, using a formula including:
input and output torque
gearbox spindle speed
other variables

4.0.1 Specification of maintenance intervals
Description
3HAC 16246-1
The intervals may be specified in different ways depending on the type of maintenance activity to be carried out and the working conditions of the robot:
Calendar time: specified in months regardless of whether the robot system is run or
not.
Operating time: specified in operating hours. More frequent running of the robot
means more frequent maintenance activities.
SIS: specified by the robot's Service Information System (SIS). How to access this
information is detailed in section "Access to SIS information". A typical value is given
for a typical work cycle, but the value will differ depending on how hard each part is
run.
37

4.0.2 Maintenance schedule, IRB 6600/6650
General
The robot, consisting of manipulator and controller cabinet, must be maintained regularly to
ensure its function. The maintenance activities and their respective intervals are specified in
the table below.
Non-predictable situations also give rise to inspections of the robot. If damage is discovered,
attend to it immediately!
The inspection intervals do not specify the life of each component. Values for these are specified in Expected component life, IRB 6600 on page 41.

The expected life can also be affected by assemblage of cabling other than standard options.
The given life is based on a test cycle that for every axis starts from the calibration position
to minimum angle to maximum angle and back to the calibration position. Deviations from
this cycle will result in differences in expected life!
2)
The given life for the balancing device is based on a test cycle that starts from the initial
position and goes to maximum extension, and back. Deviations from this cycle will result in
differences in expected life!
3)
The robot is dimensioned for a life of 8 years (350,000 cycles per year) in a normal spot
welding application. Depending on the actual application, the life of individual gearboxes
may vary greatly from this specification. The SIS (Service Information System) integrated in
the robot software, keeps track of the gearbox life in each individual case and will notify the
user when a service is due. The SIS is described in "SIS, Service Information System".

motors or gears!
When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil unless specified in the instruction.
Always use the type of oil specified by the manufacturer!
When filling gearbox oil, do not overfill, since this could lead to internal over-pressure inside
the gearbox which in turn may:
- damage seals and gaskets
- completely press out seals and gaskets
- prevent the manipulator from moving freely
Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 C! Make sure that
protective gear like goggles and gloves are always worn during this work.
Also be aware of possible over-pressure in gearbox! When opening the oil plug, there may be
pressure resident in the gearbox, causing oil spray from the opening!
