6 Parameter Setting
6. Parameter Setting
This chapter explains how to set dedicated input/output signals that play the role of interface between a robot and
an external device (e.g., a Programmable Logic Controller) and parameters related to the tracking function.
Please refer to "Detailed Explanations of Functions and Operations" for how to set the parameters.
6.1.
Tracking Parameter Setting
Specify to which channel of the encoder connector an encoder of conveyer is connected.
The parameter to set is shown below, make settings as required.
6.1.1.
Sequencer CPU Parameter Setting [Q type]
In the case of Q type, it is necessary to set multi CPU related parameters for both the sequencer CPU and robot
CPU In order to use the sequencer link function.
a) Multiple CPU setting : Set the number of CPU units.
b) I/O assignment : Select I/O units and/or Intelligent units.
c) Control PLC setting : Set the CPU Unit numbers which control the Q173DPX unit.
The setting procedure of the parameter is as below.
The following explanation assumes the case that attached Q173DPX unit to the fifth slot of baseboard.
(1) Execute the GX Works2 and select the project file.
(2) Double-click the "PLC Parameter", then the "Q Parameter Setting" is displayed.
