Course Profile

This 5-day core program is designed to prepare each student with the skills necessary for operation and programming of the ABB IRC5 robot system, as well as electrical familiarity with its components. This course focuses on ABB’s Design 04, 06, 09, and 14 IRC5 robot systems. In order to minimize plant floor downtime, this course focuses on components that exhibit high incidents of faults and failure.

Topics Covered

BizLink Robotic Solutions USA, Inc. offers flexibility in training curriculum. Please ask the instructor for any system-specific information relating to specific applications.

  • Overview of robot system components, including controller, FlexPendant, and manipulator
  • Safe operation of robot while working in manual and automatic modes
  • Understanding and correcting robot operational errors using FlexPendant error message screens
  • Using the joystick and coordinate systems (Joint, World, Tool, User Frame) to jog the robot
  • Adjusting jogging and program execution settings using the QuickSet menu
  • Understanding and following program flow using subroutines and common robot program commands
  • Executing and stepping through routines for recovery, editing, and path verification
  • Interpreting SafeMove errors and following plant protocols for recovery
  • Robot program language and common robot program commands, including motion, I/O commands, and logic
  • Program creation and modification techniques
  • Solutions for common causes of downtime such as robot crashes, improperly located parts, and various problems with dunnage
  • Identification and function of controller components, including common revisions (Design 04, 06, 09, and 14)
  • Identification and function of manipulator components, including common versions (1600, 6600, 7600, etc.)
  • Interpreting error and fault messages, codes, and status LEDs for effective diagnoses of problems
  • Use of circuit diagrams to aid in setup and troubleshooting of the robot system
  • Serial measurement board batteries and the revolution counter update procedure

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to demonstrate the ability to:

  • Locate, identify and operate the robot control panel and FlexPendant.
  • Interpret FlexPendant messages and navigate the FlexPendant screens and menus.
  • Safely move the robot with the joystick, using various coordinate systems, tool center points, and work object frames.
  • Access, step and cycle through various programs and positions.
  • Edit, copy, paste, and delete lines in a routine.
  • Touch up existing robot positions and paths as well as edit positional data.
  • Interpret and edit motion instructions (MoveJ, MoveL, MoveC, MoveAbsJ) and their related arguments.
  • Insert, edit, and execute advanced motion instructions and offset arguments.
  • Create, declare, and edit data types such as robtargets and number registers.
  • Create, select, and call subroutines.
  • Insert, edit, and execute I/O commands in a routine, including end effector control and (simulated) PLC communication.
  • Create and use FlexPendant messages and the operator interface.
  • Insert, edit, and execute logic instructions in robot routines.
  • Update the robot’s revolution counters after measurement system battery failure.
  • Identify and describe the functions of all components of the robot system.
  • Trace power and signal connections using the robot controller and manipulator circuit diagrams.
  • Utilize fault messages and LED indicators to determine which components they are associated with.
  • Create and restore robot system backups.
