would it be possible to share an example setup for roboteam in PRC?
studying the configuration setup for the robots in the lab

Johannes, thank you for the prompt reply, it helped a lot in the development, i supposed the supply was given through a bus laying on the background.
I've tried the 9100 too but ofc it couldn't work that way.
everything works now,
new tools are coming!
stay tuned!

Hello everyone,
I'd like to share some troubles I'm facing dealing with IO, basically I can't get any tension on the desired ports

on the Workvisual side everything should be fine, I configured the PLC connections I need (Beckoff 2809 and 2024 ) and I can get the status LEDs of those PLC in the KRC4 cabinet on when I change the output values on the smartpad.

the problem is that I can't measure any voltage coming from them... seems like an electric grounding problem, where do you usually connect the negative ground?

on the 2809 I take the ground from the '-' connector of the main PLC as in the picture.

on the 2024 I can have the controlled positive signal and the corrisponding ground (https://www.beckhoff.com/english.asp?ethercat/el2024.htm)


I hope i'm missing something, cos I can't get any explanation :S
thank you all in advance!

Hi Akudless and Johannes,
I'm trying to build a project in grasshopper where i'm using a circular saw table to etch a picture made of segment lines according to cut depths on a thick wooden sheet attached on the robot as end effector.

it's based on changing coordinate systems of the cutting planes with translations and rotation matrices, the main blocks are written in C# applied to Rhino geometries methods, i'm not that expert in grasshopper, but the simulations apparently seem confirming the code.
I think it's a matter of what you need to process and the related transformation maths, probably it's easier to implement just using grasshopper blocks for experienced users.

I haven't tried it yet on a real robot, but I hope to do it soon, my only concerns are about some functions for choosing a proper sheet orientation.
I'm gonna share updates as soon as I try ;)

stay tuned
regards,
Gianmarco
