Question 22 (10 marks + bonus 10 marks) – Mini program
Write the codes to fulfill the following control requirements for the robot in K2200:
Pressing the black NC pushbutton ncPB once (pressing and releasing quickly), the robot
should:
close the gripper (if the gripper of the robot is not close) or keep the gripper close (if the
gripper of the robot is close)
Initially, the gripper is close. Pressing the white NO pushbutton noPB once (pressing and
releasing quickly), the robot should go over the sequence below:
open the gripper.
wait 3 seconds.
close the gripper.
wait 5 seconds.
open the gripper to end the sequence.
Note: Pressing ncPB or noPB at any moment when the sequence above is activated should
do nothing affecting the sequence.
Note:
1. I/O tags and addresses used for the pneumatic robot in K2200 are shown in the following table (it
is not necessary to use all tags in the table, furthermore, you could define any other tags or timers
if need):
