2.1 Overview of basic specification of the preventive maintenance
function
The preventive maintenance function roughly consists of the following two functions.
The maintenance simulation can be checked on the preventive maintenance function screen of
RT ToolBox3.
Information on preventive maintenance by the consumption degree calculation function can be checked
on the Preventive Maintenance screen, status variables, and parameters of RT ToolBox3. The following
features are also available.
• Allows preventive maintenance information to be output to the host system of your production line and
collectively managed.
(Compatible with MelfaRXM.ocx and SLMP)
• If you are using a CR800 series Ver.A3 or later robot controller, by enabling this function using the
MELFA Smart Plus card, this function can be used by taking over the previous consumption degree
even during operation of the robot. (For compatible cards, refer to "1.2 Compatible products , 4) Function
extension card".)

Caution
Using the real machine or simulations on RT ToolBox3, this function
estimates the parts replacement time or the recommended maintenance
time when specific motion patterns are repeated.
This can be used for pre-study of maintenance cycles or parts-friendly
operation verification of robots.
(Refer to "8 Maintenance simulation".)
This function calculates the consumption degree [%] of robot components
based on the actual operating status (motor speed, load status, and
others), and displays/notifies the period up to maintenance/inspection or
overhaul.
This supports efficient maintenance through notification of maintenance
timing and deciding the maintenance priority order.
<Target parts>
Maintenance parts : Grease, timing belt
Overhaul parts
(Refer to "6 Consumption degree calculation function ".)
When using this function by upgrading from a non-compatible controller software
version to a compatible controller software version, the consumption degree during
the period of the non-compatible software version is not added up, thus the result of
consumption degree calculation function cannot be the correct value.
The consumption degree of the robot arm is saved in the robot controller, thus it is
necessary to use the correct combination of the robot arm and robot controller.
To replace the robot arm or robot controller only, perform backup/restore of
preventive maintenance information to migrate the preventive maintenance
information.
(For backup/restore, refer to "10.3 Backup and restore".)
