Is there an example on how to configure a Universal Robot with a 2-axis Positioner controlled via PLC?
Since the robot and positioner cannot synchronize the movements together. I would need to move them one after another but I want to make the positioner stay at a fixed position. In RoboDK itself I can set the weights in the Optimize External Axes panel to be 100,000 for the positioners to not move. But how would I export or modify the post processor for the script for the robot to use. Where the robot talks to the PLC to tell the positioner to rotate to it's angles then the robot continues with it's movement?
An example of the scripts flow would be like:
START
Rotate Positioner Axis 1
Rotate Positioner Axis 2
Robot Movement
..
Robot Movement
END
