  2. Slide 2: Differentiated Value Proposition

    Differentiated Value Proposition RobotWare 6 RobotWare raises the bar in robot control by improving flexibility while maintaining its world-class performance. It’s open and future-proof design improves productivity and enables new application functionality in a feature rich and familiar environment.

  3. Slide 3: RobotWare Overview

    RobotWare Overview Software for ABB embedded industrial robot controllers Features  State-of-the-art motion control  State-of-the art I/O system  Modular programming language  Advanced networking & connectivity  Large selection of HMI devices  PC based configuration tools (RobotStudio®) Archit

  4. Slide 4: Features: User-interface going forward

    Features User-interface going forward Standard tablets for Motion sensing jogging ABB CP 600 operator commissioning device panels Benefits  Intuitive and standardized tools  Improved and enhanced functionality  Based on commercially available hardware and software standards © ABB Group December 1

  5. Slide 5: Features: New look and feel

    Features New look and feel  Simple outlined icons that are clean and easily understood.  RobotWare, RobotStudio and RobotStudio Online in harmony, looks like a family © ABB Group December 16, 2014 | Slide 5

  6. Slide 6: Features: Robot web services

    Features Robot web services Programming Interface  Programming interface based on HTML5 which allows you to connect from any device, regardless of operating system  Enables application developers to easily create custom applications interacting with IRC5  No client side installation necessary, ru

  7. Slide 7: Features: Installation Manager

    Features Installation Manager  Makes software installation and the addition of new options hassle free and easy.  Designed to vastly improve robot set up time and system reconfiguration thanks to a flexible licensing mechanism  New intuitive user interface.  RobotWare and additional software (RW

  8. Slide 8: Features: RobotWare add-ins

    Features RobotWare add-ins  RobotWare Add-ins is installable additional software packages that extends the capabilities of RobotWare  RobotWare add-ins is the recommended way for 3rd party developers to add new features to RobotWare.  Benefits  Version handling of the add-in packages.  Easy upg

  9. Slide 9: Improved productivity: Faster

    Improved productivity Faster  The restart time will be significantly improved  The jogging will be made more responsive*  The installation time will be shortened *beta version RW6.0; complete RW6.01 © ABB Group December 16, 2014 | Slide 9

  10. Slide 10: Improved productivity: Improved process modes

    Improved productivity Improved process modes  Optimize robot behavior based on application needs.  Select motion process mode  Optimal cycle time (default)  High accuracy  Stiff mode  Candidate: Energy mode, future release  Two versions  Static, mode change requires restart (free)  Dynamic,

  11. Slide 11: Improved productivity: Singularity avoidance

    Improved productivity Singularity avoidance  When an 6 axis robot is used as palletizer robot motion can be disturbed by singularities  Singularity occurs when axis 5 is at 0 degrees  RW6 will enable wrist singularity avoidance  It will be possible to turn the movement mode on and off from Rapid

  12. Slide 12: Improved productivity: SafeMove Visualizer

    Improved productivity SaveMove Visualizer  SafeMove Visualizer shows graphical representations of SafeMove configurations.  The application perfectly illustrates safety zones for fast and precise analysis of a zone or axis violation.  The SafeMove visualizer will be included in SafeMove option of

  13. Slide 13: More robust: Motion error handler

    More robust Motion error handler  Sensor (vision) generated robot paths have become common  These paths can not be verified and can cause production stops  RW6 provide the possibility to recover from motion errors  Collisions  Out of reach © ABB Group December 16, 2014 | Slide 13

  14. Slide 14: Options: External guided motion

    Options External guided motion  Many robot applications rely on sensors.  EGM enables external sensors/computers to control the robot motion  EGM provides ways to input absolute positions or even modify the path.  Path can be updated every 4 ms with a controller lag of 8 to 20 ms © ABB Group Dec

  15. Slide 15: RobotWare 6 Upgrade and compatibility

    RobotWare 6 Upgrade and compatibility  RobotWare 6.0 requires the new main computer  RAPID fully compatible except Spot configuration  Limited CFG changes (mostly fieldbus related)  License concept different  All RW5 options are supported in RW6  Automatic tool for upgrade from RW5.15 to RW5.6

  16. Slide 16: RobotWare Training

    RobotWare 6 Training  RobotWare 6 is a natural upgrade from RobotWare 5, all users will feel familiar.  The existing IRC5 and RobotWare trainings are still fully relevant.  New e-learnings will be offered for:  Installation manager and RobotWare Add-ins  Externally Guided Motion © ABB Group Dec

  17. Slide 17: RobotWare Summary

    RobotWare Summary  RobotWare 6 improves productivity in a feature rich and familiar environment  New user interface concepts  Motion error handler  Singularity avoidance  SafeMove visualizer  Improves flexibility while maintaining its world-class performance  Faster  Installation manager  M
