DJM50113 Industrial Automation Practical Task 4 Human Machine Interface (HMI) [MELFA RV-AJ ARTICULATED]

CLO 2 : Develop control structure for industrial automation system based on process specification (P4,PLO5)

1.0  Experiment outcome  

At the end of the laboratory task students should be able:

i) Program and simulate a pick and place task for a RV-2AJ robotic arm with integrated conveyor system and HMI.

ii) Understand the key element of industrial robots.

2.0 Theory

The RV-2AJ robot is used to pick up a CYLINDER from a conveyor system based on the colour of the primitive. The placement will be on a coloured BOX platform based on the primitive colour. A colour sensor will be used the detect the colour of the primitive and stop the conveyor at the appropriate position. The led’s will switch on when the cylinders are picked up and until they are placed on the designated coloured boxes. The yellow led will be on when the conveyor system moves.

3.0 Equipment / Apparatus / Software:

i) Software simulation

4.0 Procedures/ Problem 

i) Using a RV-2AJ robot arm, pick and place the miscellaneous primitives from. There should be no collision with any elements during the simulation.

ii) The location of the robot, conveyor, sensor and the platform are according to the programmer’s discretion.

iii) Sequence of pick and place, RED, GREEN and BLUE IV. Use delay function before and after gripper open or closes.

iv) The LED light will switch on based on colour of the cylinder that is picked up and when the placement in done on the designated coloured boxes the led will switch off.

v) The yellow LED will be on as long as the conveyor system works VII. Parameters of this task is open.

** use of multiple sensors to detect the cylinders on the boxes is advised
