Cad Link Programming - Mitsubishi CR750-Q Series Instruction Manual

18. CAD Link Programming

So far it has been finished to create dot sequence data, perform calibration and transfer programs for test
operations. This chapter explains how to construct an actual system using created data.
The CAD link function supports only the MELFA-BASIC language.
The following files are generated in the process of using the CAD link function.
No File name
1 FLOW.prg
2 O1O1.prg
3 MXT**_**.MXT
4 CLB.prg
5 MXT**_**.cal
6 CLB. cal
Table 18-1 Files Output by the CAD Link Function
"Work program"
This file contains a program converted from a work flow. Copy and
use it as a template for your own programs.
"Movement confirmation program"
This file contains sample programs for actually moving a robot
using dot sequence data.
* The file name is generated automatically according to the naming
rule.
"Dot sequence data (MXT data)" set
This file contains dot sequence data describing robot movement
along a workpiece. Downloading this file to a robot controller allows
a robot to smoothly trace along the edge of a workpiece.
This file is created by MELFA-Works and calibrated by the
calibration tool.
* The file name is generated automatically. After calibration is
completed, change the name as necessary and use the file.
"Calibration program"
This file contains a robot program used in calibration. Executing this
program allows teaching calibration points and calculating
calibration values based on the results of teaching.
This program is created by MELFA-Works and
downloaded/uploaded by the calibration tool to/from a robot. The
calibration tool uses the calibration program in the current folder as
the source of dot sequence data.
* The file name is fixed.
"Dot sequence data before calibration"
This file contains dot sequence data before calibration.
* The file name is the same as for the dot sequence data set above,
but the extension is "*.cal."
"Calibration program before teaching"
This file contains a calibration program before teaching.
* The file name is fixed.
