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 enter a license key, refer to "Registering License".
  • Since the release of Ver. 1.9.*, 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, helps perform teaching by allowing a robot installed inside a safety fence to follow the movement of a collaborative robot "COBOTTA" that you operate directly by hand.

A COBOTTA to be operated directly by hand is called a master robot while a robot to follow the master robot is called a slave robot.

Attention

  • To use COBOTTA for the Mirror Control, carry out a risk assessment and specify a speed monitoring threshold for COBOTTA based on the risk assessment result.
  • Install the master robot outside of the safety fence enclosing the slave robot.
  • 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 you connect the slave controller and COBOTTA.
  • If a program (except the supervisory task and TP panel task) is running in the slave controller while COBOTTA is connecting to the slave controller, an error occurs.
  • If emergency stop or protective stop is turned on while the Mirror Control function is being used, an error occurs in both COBOTTA and the slave controller.
