Hello All,
Currently, I am providing support at automation cells at my work. I know ABB robot programming and PLC (don't have much experience) and all the automation cell have ABB robots and Allen Bradley PLC.
Sometimes, a robot stops and wait for PLC signal and I find very challenging to find that bit or find what signal robot is waiting for.
for example, robot load the part in CNC machine and when a part gets clamp in CNC, CNC send a signal to Robot, you can go now because i have part clamped but somehow there is chip under the cnc clam and clamp signal won't ON then robot will stuck inside the machine wait for that signal and it would be so hard to for to find why robot stuck inside lol
I work in an automotive industry and some of you may know they die for production and if line stop they expect some kind of magic and make the line run in 10 seconds.
Please give me some troubleshooting tips which can help me to find the issue on the line.
I understand every production line is different so my post sounds stupid but I am sure you can give me something out of your years of experience.
Thank you,
