1.3. Preparations

 

In order to proceed with the teaching of spot welding work using the Hi5 OLP package, the following environment should be established

 

Table 1‑3 Environment for using Hi5 OLP package

ROBCAD	eM-Workplace (Robcad) for PC Version 7.1.2 or higher Modules required for works including /BASE, /SPOT and /OLP
Hi5 controller	The newest official version of the software is recommended
Robot Manipulator	HS165-02, HS200-02
PC	Pentium 4 or higher, Windows 2000, XP
HRView	v2.00 or higher, RS-232C connection cable or Ethernet cable

 

To use the Hi5 OLP package, the user should be equipped with the following knowledge in advance.

 

n Ability to use a spot welding robot

 

n Ability to perform Off-Line Programming

 

n Ability to operate the Hi5 controller

 

n Ability to use ROBCAD/BASE and /SPOT

 

NOTE                       Dot-e file and RCS module   There are two types of simulations available for the simulation of robot motion executed by ROBCAD: simulation executed by the MOP (Motion Planner) of ROBCAD, and simulation executed by the RCS (Robot Controller Simulation) module of the target robot. MOP of ROBCAD reads a Dot-e file, which lists the various motion characteristics of the target robot and executes the simulation accordingly. On the other hand, the RCS module in the controller software of the target robot implements the simulation based on motion-related parts as a robot motion software module that conforms with an RRS (Realistic Robot Simulation) standard interface, so generally it has very high cycle time accuracy in comparison with a Dot-e file. The Hi5 OLP package is composed of a Dot-e type hhi_hi5 file and an RCS type hhi_hi5_rrs file.
