Mirror Control
This section describes the Mirror Control function.
- This is an optional function. To use this function, you need a license. For how to register a license, refer to “Registering License”.
- Since the release of Ver.2.20.*, the function name has been changed from "Master/Slave" to "Mirror Control".
What Is Mirror Control?
Mirror Control, an optional function available in Auto mode, allows a robot installed inside a safety fence to follow the movement of the collaborative robot "COBOTTA" that you operate directly, helping you perform teaching.
The COBOTTA that you operate directly is called a master robot while a robot to follow the master robot is called a slave robot.
Precautions
- To use COBOTTA for the Mirror Control function, conduct a risk assessment and specify a speed monitoring threshold for COBOTTA based on the results.
- Install the master robot outside of the safety fence enclosing the slave robot.
- When mounting COBOTTA on a workbench, ensure that it will not fall from the workbench during operation.
- Install the slave robot inside the safety fence visible from where you operate the master robot.
- If the license is not registered, an error occurs when connecting to COBOTTA.
- If the slave controller is connected to the mini-pendant, an error occurs when connecting to COBOTTA.
- At the connection from COBOTTA, if a program (except the supervisory task and TP panel task) is being executed with the slave controller, an error occurs when connecting to COBOTTA.
- When using the Mirror Control function, if emergency stop or protective stop is turned on, an error occurs in both COBOTTA and the slave controller.
- If the exclusive control function is enabled, the Mirror Control function cannot be executed. With the exclusive control function enabled, if you try to connect to the master robot, an error occurs.
