4.4. ConstantSetting

 

When the user clicks the [Const] button of TP while the active mechanism is set, a constant setting dialog box will be displayed, which accepts the input of several attributes to be set for the currently selected robot (Active Mechanism).

<Func exec> sets whether to execute the function existing on each constant when executing a simulation, as in [Table 4-1].

 

Table 4‑1 Available values to be set on Func exec

Setting value	Description
0	Execute all functions. (Servo gun operation is excluded, even if it is a function)
1	Execute all functions.
2	Execute all functions except WAIT (DI signal wait) function.

 

Gun1 and Gun2 set which device should be operated by step parameters G1 and G2 when executing simulation. These can be set in the graphics window by clicking a device directly, and should be set as many times as the number of guns.

Weld cycle time sets welding time in the unit of seconds when a gun is operated in the simulation by G1 and G2.

These settings affect the operation of the simulation, but not the downloaded work program

 

NOTE     Cautions for constant setting dialog box   When closing and reopening the constant setting dialog box after making the settings, the setting values will be displayed. However, these settings are not the current setting values of robot, but are the last values input in the dialog box. When opening a constant setting dialog box after closing and reopening the work, no setting values will be displayed. Be careful in this situation, because the settings of items not input will be deleted if you click the Accept button without inputting values, or after inputting some items only. The Accept button should be clicked after filling out all items. Please refer to the following clause on the info button to see the attribute values set on the currently selected robot.
