Start the Part Feeding Process

Requirements for starting the Part Feeding process are as described below.

  1. Move the robot to a position where the vision system can capture images.
    (For fixed downward-facing cameras, move the robot to where it will not interfere with imaging)
  2. Run the PF_Start command to start the Part Feeding process.

The following is an example program.

Function StartPickPlace()  
 
   Home  
   PF_InitLog 1, "C:\log.csv", True  
   PF_Start 1  
 
Fend
