Abstract:

The process of writing an updated operation program for the RT 100 Light Industrial Robot (RTX) came in three parts. First, I worked with Lab VIEW and an oscilloscope to create a method of sending hexadecimal commands to the RTX. The next step was determining what commands to send to the RTX, which was done using the original documentation and DOSbased operation program. After this was done, I put it together by writing a program in LabVIEW for moving the arm in real time and devising a method for writing easily modifiable preset motion sequences.
