Key Features & Operational Constraints

The XVC769AE101 operates under specific industrial parameters to ensure the safety and accuracy of high-speed robotic motion:

• EGM Path Correction Optimization: Specifically built to facilitate Externally Guided Motion, enabling the robot to "react" to external sensor data while following a programmed path.

• 6-Axis Support Only: This board is exclusively compatible with 6-axis robotic arms. It cannot be used with 4-axis SCARA robots or tasks involving only additional/external axes.

• Specific Path Geometry: * Corrections are applied only in the y and z planes of the path coordinate system.

• It does not support corrections in the x-direction (the path tangent/direction of travel).

• Orientation corrections (rotation) are not supported; only translational position adjustments are performed.

• Hardware Mounting Requirements: To maintain signal integrity and coordinate alignment, the external sensing device providing the data must be robot-mounted.

• Precise Motion Logic: Any EGM path correction sequence facilitated by this board must start and end at a fine point to ensure motion stability and predictable path completion.

• Single Device Interface: Each robot can utilize only one external device through this board to provide correction data, ensuring a singular, conflict-free data stream.

• RAPID Task Integration: The board must be used within RAPID tasks that include a robot (robtargets must contain pose data), ensuring the logic is tied to the physical movement of the arm.
