This article discusses the procedure for setting up a configuration for a cell with multiple robots. Creating and editing a configuration for a multi-robot cell is the same procedure as for a single-robot cell, except that a tooling mounting would need to be added for each robot.
The following procedure assumes that a cell is already created and multiple robots are already loaded.
Create a configuration
With the cell open in the cell editor, in the Cell tree, select the cell.
In the Cell Settings pane on the right, next to Configuration repository, select the [+] button to add a new configuration.
Select the Edit button to edit configuration settings.
For the first robot, set Tooling mounting options.
Tooling mounting frame: Select the tooling mounting frame for that specific robot.
Default tooling: Select the default tooling for the robot. Note that the same tooling cannot be used by different robots.
Default user frame: Optional. You can apply a default user frame to a given robot.
Select Add tooling mounting.
Set Tooling mounting options for the second robot.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for any additional robots.
When you are finished making changes to the configuration, click OK.
You can create more than one configuration for a multi-robot cell. For example, you could create one configuration with only one robot active and the other robots idle. Then, you could create a second configuration with all robots active. When programming a part, you could then easily select the cell configuration needed.
