5.5. Precautions to Take in Writing a JOB File​

 

Before the robot pose value given by the Pick-it equipment is used in the JOB file, it must be checked whether the pose value is within the safe working area. Since the pose value provided by the Pick-it equipment may not be accurate, it should be checked whether the pose value is within the safe working area before using the MOVE statement. The example of the JOB file presented in this manual excludes the part related to checking whether the pose variable value is within the safe working area.

 

After the Pick-it operation is finished, it is required to set ITF=0 using the PICKIT.CFG statement. Otherwise, the pose of the current robot will continue to be sent from the robot controller to the Pick-it equipment, possibly wasting resources unnecessarily and causing unintended misbehavior.
