Infrastructure

This is planned infrastructure for robot project with computing server.

Install

  1. You can change robot parameters via importing nx100_remote_control.
    import nx100_remote_control
    
    nx100_remote_control.NX100_IP_ADDRESS = '192.168.2.28'
    nx100_remote_control.NX100_TCP_PORT = 80
    
    nx100_remote_control.MOCK_RESPONSE = False  
    
  2. Import available contents like below examples or run web server.
    • Web interface opens from http://localhost:8080/ which looks something like this in below image.
    import nx100_remote_control
    from nx100_remote_control.module import WebServer
    
    nx100_remote_control.MOCK_RESPONSE = True 
    
    WebServer.run(addr="localhost", port=8080)
    
    • Use MOCK_RESPONSE = True to run without attached robot.
    • Replace "localhost" with "0.0.0.0" to make web server available to local network devices.

Lint, Test, Build

Must have installed: pip install flake8 pytest
Lint: flake8 ./nx100_remote_control --count --select=E9,F63,F7,F82 --show-source --statistics
Test: pytest
Build: python -m build

Programs

Testing.py => Used for development and testing individual commands.
WebServer.py => Hosts small web page having control possibilities (repository readme photo)
XboxController.py => As name says, can use controller to control robot, just demo.

MoveL

Quick sample for MovL command to do linear movement with robot. See MoveL object for more details or read Ethernet Server Function Manual.

from nx100_remote_control.module import Commands, Utils
from nx100_remote_control.objects import MoveL

Commands.write_linear_move(MoveL.MoveL(
    MoveL.MoveL.motion_speed_selection_posture_speed,
    5,
    MoveL.MoveL.coordinate_specification_base_coordinate,
    353.769, 202.779, 120.658,
    -1.34, 35.78, 27.84,
    Utils.binary_to_decimal(0x00000001),
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
))

Use MoveL.MoveL object to see options for motion_speed_selection_ and for coordinate_specification_

Then to wait for move to be completed you can use callback function as example:

from nx100_remote_control.module import Commands, Utils
from nx100_remote_control.objects import MoveL

def callback_success():
    print('MoveL position has been reached')

def callback_failed():
    print('MoveL error or position not reached on given timeout')

move_l = MoveL.MoveL(
    MoveL.MoveL.motion_speed_selection_posture_speed,
    5,
    MoveL.MoveL.coordinate_specification_base_coordinate,
    353.769, 202.779, 120.658,
    -1.34, 35.78, 27.84,
    Utils.binary_to_decimal(0x00000001),
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
)
    
Commands.robot_in_target_point_callback(
    move_l=move_l, timeout=10, _callback_success=callback_success, _callback_failed=callback_failed
)

So this will exec _callback_success if position reached in given timeout or run _callback_failed if not.

Another commander class way

from nx100_remote_control.module import LinearMove, Utils
from nx100_remote_control.objects import MoveL
    
move_l = MoveL.MoveL(
    MoveL.MoveL.motion_speed_selection_posture_speed,
    5,
    MoveL.MoveL.coordinate_specification_base_coordinate,
    352.769, 202.779, 120.658,
    -1.34, 35.78, 27.84,
    Utils.binary_to_decimal(0x00000001),
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
)

linear_move = LinearMove.LinearMove()
linear_move.go(move_l=move_l, wait=True, poll_limit_seconds=10)
print('finished')

Arduino gripper

Arduino folder contains code and sketch for custom Gripper integrated for NX100 Motoman.

Ladder changes

NX100 ladder config had by default GRP meaning grouped signals so had to ungroup them to gain access to output relay #30052 ladder-config

Idea here was that I needed to be able to control relay #30052 with stock #10022 universal output signal but also with network input #22012 signal and this needed STR + NOT handling for both cases (see image ladder line 0359)

Python sample

Work in progress with gripper.

from nx100_remote_control.module import Gripper

Gripper.write_gripper_close()
Gripper.write_gripper_open()
Gripper.read_gripper_closed_command_register()
Gripper.read_gripper_acknowledge()
Gripper.read_gripper_hit()

Arduino code

Obvious bits are one input and two outputs. Hardware decisions don't matter, code can be changed accordingly.

  • PC817 is used to bring NX100 IO card UNIVERSAL OUTPUT signal as input for Arduino.
  • Two relays are used to short circuit NX100 input signal line's to switch on/off UNIVERSAL INPUT signal.
