Data for Settings

To set up parameters for riwa_unit_identification.xml file, the following data will be required:

RIWA unit identification, to denote the unit in the setting.

Robot identification, to denote the robot in the setting.

To set up parameters for riwa_client_task.xml file, the following data will be required:

Input data masking, for data coming from the robot, at least two data masks are needed for the settings:

Set of consecutive bits, indicating weld code, e.g. mask weld = "F0" means, that 5,6,7,8 bits in the 8 bits input data will be used for the weld code, so the weld code values will be from 1 to 7.
One bit for trigger (weld-in-progress) signal, e.g. mask trigger = "02" means, that bit 2 in the 8 bits input data will be used for the trigger, so when this bit is "0" - no trigger, when it is "1", trigger is signaled.

If the weld code mask = "0", then only first weld schedule from the settings will be used. If weld trigger mask = "0", then no measurements will be registered.

Output data masking, for data going from the unit to robot as feedback, two masks possible:

System "alive" bit, e.g. "alive" = "04" means, that bit 3 in the 8 bits input data will be used for this signal.
Weld "pass/not pass" bit, e.g. "pass" = "08" means, that bit 4 in the 8 bits input data will be used for this signal.

If both, above masks = "0", then no feedback signals will be sent back to the robot.

Welding Schedules

Welding schedules for all welds that will be performed on the robot. From the each weld schedule the following parameters will be needed:

Weld code, digital value, as it is in the robot schedule, e.g. "1", "3", "25", "195811" and so on;
Plates thickness in mm, e.g. 1 and 1.5mm;
Welding time, minimum time in milliseconds when current is on, e.g. 357ms;
Minimal nugget diameter, minimal nugget (weld) diameter accepted, in mm, e.g. 3.5mm.
