Master/Slave

This section describes the Master/Slave.

What is Master/Slave?

Master/Slave is an optional function of Auto mode that operates a collaborative robot "COBOTTA" at hand and makes a robot installed within the safety fence follow COBOTTA's motion in order to support and operate teaching.

COBOTTA that you operate at hand is called the master robot. A robot to follow is called the slave robot.

Attention

• The master robot should be installed and operated outside of the safety fence of the slave robot.
• When installing COBOTTA to a workbench, consider so that COBOTTA does not fall from the workbench during operation.
• The slave robot should be installed within the safety fence so that you can see it from the operating position of the master robot.
• If the license is not registered, an error occurs when connecting with COBOTTA.
• If the mini-pendant is connected to the slave controller, an error occurs when connecting with 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 with COBOTTA.
• When using the Master/Slave 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 Master/Slave function cannot be executed. With the exclusive control function enabled, if you try to connect with the master robot, an error occurs.
