NB Panel: How To Set Up Screen Saver?

Image
    You can define in the NB Panel "Show the specific screen if no operation has been doing into the specific time". It means the operator doesn't touch the Panel for a while(it can be changable) show the specific screen. (This is the same as Windows PC Screen Saver Page. ) There are three main property that you have to define. I described it in a video and I dropped an figure below to show these steps basically.

NB Panel: Pop-Up A Screen When An Event Is Occurred

Image
    Most of the time programmers want to show something when an event is occurred.  When an event is occured show " event pop up page ". You can see below figure to show some configuration for event settings to manage "which event will show  which page". There is something important thing that is "to close the pop-up page you need to use switch screen    function key property as   Close Screen or Backward. " Fig : Settings      I created a detailed example project(Video Link is here .) for showing how to use "Event Pop-Up" page and normally opened "Event" page. You can watch this video from below.

Robot Movement Principle & Motion Types

Image
    I would like mention about movement principle of robots and some important motion types. So let's start with the Movement Principle of industrial robots. Movement Principle      Industrial robots aim to go from one point to the specific position which can be named as " pose to pose movement ". It means clearly " move from the current position to the new position ". All story starts with this motion concept. Besides that, robots make some special tasks using industrial equipments(we can call them as tool in some states) such as material handling, palletizing/depalletizing, painting, arc welding/spot welding on the specified path. Robot programming includes some special robot movement commands and when moving on the path robot run special commands to control the environment such as PLC, sensors, actuators and valves. Path can be explained as " The continuous locus of positions(or points in three dimensional space) traversed by the tool center point and d...

NB Panel: How To Make A Project Multi Language?

Image
    This post will be related to how to make a project polyglot(multi language). Multi Language selection may be very feasible when teaching machine/production line to operators with their mother tongue and to keep some standarts high(multi langauage may gain prestige to your project.). In NB Panel, this is very easy to gain multi language selection to the project. I will mention the steps with images. 

NB Panel: How To Add Graphics & States?

Image
    How to add graphics in a screen for NB Panel? It is very useful when showing logo of company or different kind of states according to a variable. Panel Type: NB7W-TW00B   NB Designer Version Info: 1.51(Build 200529) Fig : Steps of the Adding Graphics Fig :  Steps of the Adding Graphics     I prepared a video to show these steps clearly. You can find it from this link and watch below. Video : How To Add Graphics & States 

MotoSim - Not Detecting Dongle Error(Solved)

Image
    MotoSim EG-VRC ( E nhanced G raphics V irtual R obot C ontroller ) is a software programme which is Yaskawa Robot Programming Simulator needs dongle to run. To activate the dongle you need to download and install  Sentinel Driver .  Fig : A Frame From MotoSim I have prepared a YouTube video to show how does it(this USB Driver ) downloaded and installed onto your computer.   Video : How To Download&Install USB Driver After a few questions about offline simulation platform of Yaskawa Motoman Robotics which is called MotoSimVRC, I decided to write a quick post to collect the answers. If you want to read, you can access from there .

Movicon 11 SCADA

          Before starting Movicon 11, I would like mention "What Is SCADA", "Industrial Usage Of SCADA" and "Progea & Movicon 11" respectively.     

What Is Robot?

Image
         I tought that If my blog focus on Robotics in particular  Industrial  Robotics so we  will look into the Industrial Robotics in this post. We are going to start "What Is Robot?" and then to continue with specially "Industrial Robotics". Before mentioning "Robots", I would like to mention the importance&location of the Robots in our near future. Most of the time robots are subjected in the sci-fiction novels and cinema(thanks to the  Karel Čapek and  Isaac Asimov ). So it makes Robots more special in our lives. It is  increasingly   getting more valuable in either social life and industrial production day by day. " These robots are perhaps most familiar to the world through their highly popular videos-the Boston Dynamics YouTube channel, for example, as of May 2020 has 1.72 Million subscribers, making it probably the largest YouTube channel focused on robotics. "   (It could be seen from Google Trend...

How To Download & Install NB Designer

Image
     Omron NB Series HMI(Human Machine Interface) is mostly used in the industrial project because of cheap and easy to use solution factors. If we simply mention about the features of the NB Panel HMI(Mostly I prefer to use): Sizes of HMI range in 3.5 to 10 inches Serial, USB or Ethernet communication(it helps to make a network easily with Omron and non-Omron PLCs/Inverters) 128 NB of internal storage Online/Offline Simulation Multi language Rich functionality Macro functions Animations, moving parts  Alarm-Event display Valuable symbol libraries HMI remote viewer with VNC Server Fig : NB Series Panels      To download/upload and the other important transactions to the HMI Panel are applied using NB Designer Software program. I will describe how to download from the web site and how to install to your computer of this software.(This software is totally free of charge and you can download latest version from Omron website .)      I have ...

What Is Axis & Axes Movements

Image
     What Is Axes?  If we look at the meaning of the "axis" from the dictionary we can find the meaning of " an imaginary line through the center of an object, around which the object turns " . In the other hand, in robotic terminology we can explain the the axis; " A direction used to specify the robot motion in a lienar or rotary mode(ISO 8373) ".     An axis in robotic represents basically the "degree of freedom"( DOF ). In the industry there are many kind of industrial robots that have different axes configurations (degree of freedom) in the ranges through two axes to fifteen axes robots. It depends on the type of the application.  Fig : Cartesian Robots: Two Or Three Sliding Axes Fig : SDA Series 15 Axes Robot[ For Detail ]      For example; we have six axes robot, it means that this robot can move in six different ways could be moved. This means a robot can move in X, y and z planes as well as position itself using roll, pitch...

Hello World

Image
     Firstly, before starting to introduce myself I would like to mention about the title of this introduction post. "Hello World" is such an important word groups for starting a programming language. This is probably first "output" for every software language learners. So I would like to start with them, too.        I am an electric-electronic engineer since 2017. While in my university life I was dealing with Fuzzy Logic and Image Processing. After graduation I have started to work on industrial robotics and SCADA/HMI, energy monitoring especially to collect data about daily/weekly/monthly/yearly energy consumption for company and detailing the question that "How many products are produced? versus How much energy(water, steam, electric) were used?". We can simply call it "productivity" for a specific production lines individually and company.       This is my personal blog for sharing some experiences on industrial programmin...
