摘要:
The invention is a die (22b) for an industrial press (1) arranged with a wireless communication device (14) and a contactless power supply (10,12). Power and/or control cables are not necessary between a stationary press (1) and the die (22b) or other moving part arranged with the press (1). One or more sensors on the moving part of the die (22b) may be contactlessly powered and wirelessly controlled. The wireless communication member (14) of the die (22b) may transmit data from one or more sensors on the die (22b) to a press control unit (24) or other control unit (25). The power supply (10,12) includes a primary power supply member (2,8) and secondary power supply member (13,15). In other aspects of the invention a method and a system are described.
摘要:
The invention relates to the integration of diagnostics and control in a production line based on process components (10). Preferably, the control system and the diagnostic system are built as a hierarchical and highly distributed system, where as much as possible of the pre-processing and low-level diagnostics is accomplished at the lower levels of the system. At the process component level, diagnostics (12) are integrated with the control software (11) controlling the process hardware of the production line. The production line is typically comprised of a number of cells of process components, and each cell is controlled by a cell controller (20). At the cell level, diagnostics (22) are integrated in the cell control software (21) of the cell controllers (20). For example, diagnostic functions could be integrated with the control software programs by extending the IEC 1131-3 SFC language with diagnostic functions, or pre-compiling the source code of the control program and adding code for diagnostic functions.
摘要:
The manipulator according to the invention exhibits an improved structure since the communication between the main controller (1) in the remote unit and the controllers (7) in the workplace unit is performed via a wireless communication channel (12) which is preferably a radio channel. Accordingly, no cables are required to connect the main controller (1) and the control units (7) for communication purposes. However, the controllers (7) of the manipulator according to the invention are connected to encoders (6) or resolvers (6) to receive information about the actual position of the controlled manipulator axis (N). Further, the controllers (7) of a manipulator according to the invention are connected to drivers (5) for supplying power to the motors (3) causing the movement of the manipulator. Thus, the controller performs the control of the manipulator movements in a direct and local manner, however, being remotely controlled by the main controller via a wireless communication channel.
摘要:
The invention is a method for changing a tool (12) for a robot or manipulator (5) comprising a wireless communication device (14) for control and/or data communication on the tool (12). Communication or control cables are not necessary between the robot arm (5) and the moveable robot tool (12). The one or more wireless communication members (14) comprised on the robot tool may also be powered by the contactless power supply in another embodiment. In other aspects of the invention a system, and a computer program for carrying out the method are described.
