The name of the project configuration file that you need to use in CPRog for your robot is composed as follows. Use the table below to identify the
filename:
In general, any configuration file is comprises as follows:
<#><IGUS_DQ_arm/IGUS_arm>_<4DOF/5DOF>_<SV/BV>_<AE/ME>.prj
Answering the questions in the table below, should narrow your choice down to a single file in the folder C:\CPRog\Data\Projects\
.
Igus robolink DQ or D arm?
|
<IGUS_DQ_arm/IGUS_arm> |
There are several types or robolink robot arms, the most common is the D arm, named just “IGUS arm” |
|
4 or 5 Degrees of freedom?
|
<4DOF/5DOF> |
DOF is the acronym for “degrees of freedom”, meaning the number of robot joints. The robot on the right is 5 DOF. Note: the white gripper is not counted. |
|
Small version or big version?
|
<SV/BV> |
BV stands for Big Version with 2.5 kg payload. SV stands for Small Version with 0.5 kg payload. Measure the diameter of joint 2. 5cm = BV; 3cm = SV |
|
Abtriebsencoder or Motorencoder?
|
<AE/ME> |
ME versions use a motor encoder, AE version use a encoder on the gear output. Count the number of sockets of any of the modules labelled "Stepper Motor Driver Module" on the DIN Rail. 4 sockets = ME; 3 sockets = AE |
