To read the VRT parameters accurately, make sure not to apply vibrations except generated vibrations. Fix the wirings at 150 to 200mm from the terminal by using the tape or cable tie.
Note
- To connect the VR unit with PC, you can use the general USB cables (Type A – Micro B) other than attached ones. However, be sure to use products complying with the industrial standards or noise resistant USB cable. If you use USB cable (office use product), it may cause communication error and may not offer the proper performance.
- Make sure to use USB cable that can execute data transfer. Be careful since some of general USB cables are only for supplying power.
- Target of the measurement is only one VR unit which set COM port by VR software. It is not possible to process more than one VR unit simultaneously.
- After reading the parameters and checking the effect of VRT, remove the VR unit and USB cable immediately. Do not operate the robot continuously with connecting the VR unit. (It is not a flex resistance USB cable. Parameters cannot be read unlimitedly.)
