ABB Robots Vision Manual

Note

This manual focuses exclusively on ABB Robots-specific topics. For general robot vision information, please refer to the wenglor robot vision manual.

This repository contains an example RAPID program to set up and start the generic vision interface with wenglor Machine Vision Devices on your ABB robot. The program files are available in the sources directory of this repository — see Installation & Setup for the file list and supported controllers.

Note

Tested with the OmniCore controller running RobotWare 7.5.13 (minimum required: RobotWare 7.3.2). Also supported on IRC5 controllers (RobotWare 5.15+) — see Installation & Setup for the additional steps required.

How the manual is organized

graph LR A[1. Installation & Setup] --> B[2. User Configuration] B --> C[3. Robot Program] C -.-> D[4. Troubleshooting] D -.-> E[5. Support & Feedback]
  1. Installation & Setup — copy the files to the controller, check the supported controller and network requirements, then load the program.
  2. User Configuration — adjust the parameters in wenglorUserConfig.modx to your setup.
  3. Robot Program — how the RAPID modules implement calibration, detection, and reference-frame updates.
  4. Troubleshooting — common issues and how to resolve them.
  5. Support & Feedback — where to report bugs or suggest features.

Note

The generic robot vision API (commands, return values, error codes), the calibration guidelines, and the uniVision job setup are documented once in the wenglor robot vision manual and are not repeated here. This manual only describes how the ABB example uses them.
