Downloading or Creating Motoman Robot Programs

This procedure describes how to download or create a Motoman robot program.
Open the MotomanComplete.CATProcess file.
Downloading generates an INFORM II file (INFORM II is the language of Motoman MRC/XRC robot) from the PPR tree. The following steps take place:
  • An XML file is generated from the activities defined in the PPR tree. This involves a mapping between the activities in the PPR tree and the elements in the XML file. The XML file generated is independent of the robot language (INFORM II, in this case).
  • A style sheet transformation file (XSLT) is written for the Motoman MRC/XRC translator. This file defines the mapping between the activities in the XML file and the INFORM II commands.
  • The XSLT is then run through the XML file to generate the required INFORM II file.

  1. Click Create Robot Program  in the Offline Programming toolbar.

  2. Select SK6Tsk.1 of SK6.1 in the PPR tree.
    The Downloading Options dialog box opens.

  3. Choose the settings as shown above, and click OK.
    The Multiple Task Download dialog box opens with SK6Tsk.2 in the left-hand box.

  4. Select SK6Tsk.2 for download too.
    The Download Editor window appears.

  5. Save the downloaded program.

  6. Similarly, download the SK16.1 program. Click Rename and save it with a different name.
