The Concept Of Robot To Robot Synchronization - ABB IRC5 Applications Manual

2.5.2. The concept of robot to robot synchronization

Description
The basic idea of robot to robot synchronization is that two robot should use a common virtual
sensor. The master robot controls the virtual motion of this sensor. The slave robot uses the
sensor's virtual position and speed to adjust its speed.
The synchronization is achieved by defining positions where the two robots should be at the
same time, and assigning a sensor value for each of these points.
